www.majkic.net Cloud Security Assessment Cloud Application Assessments The overall goal of an application security assessment is to uncover software vulnerabilities, demonstrate the impact of weaknesses, and provide recommendations for mitigation. Security engineers should be able to provide a detailed and in-depth security analysis of your organization's critical applications. Cloud Infrastructure Assessments Engineers should remotely identify the networks, hosts, and services that comprise your cloud's external and internal environments. Vulnerabilities are identified and if desired, exploited during a penetration test. Host/OS Configuration Reviews Host reviews comprehensively identify security issues within your cloud environment. Security engineers remotely review the configuration of key applications, servers, databases, and network components to identify vulnerabilities that may go unnoticed during network testing. Cloud Architecture Reviews A network architecture review will evaluate the function, placement, and gaps of existing security controls and compare their alignment with the organization's security goals and objectives. VPN Security Reviews The VPN review compares your current configuration against recommended best practices and identifies any areas of concern. The assessment includes a remote configuration review as well as an architecture review. Host-Based Firewall Reviews Analyze both the configuration of the host-based firewalls (accounts, logging, patch management, etc.) as well as the implementation of network security controls (ACLs) via the firewall. Internet of Things Security In today’s connected world, the perception of security risk alone, even if not realized, can still negatively impact consumer confidence necessary for new technologies to meet their full market potential. Recent, high-profile data breaches have heightened consumers’ awareness of data security and privacy issues. As a result, consumer adoption may suffer until vendors can adequately address security and privacy concerns. This assurance services take a holistic approach to security testing by reviewing the entire product ecosystem, from chip to code, while prioritizing vulnerabilities so you can successfully balance risk with time-to-market pressures. Security Benchmark NIST Cybersecurity Framework Benchmark  Benchmarking your organization’s current cybersecurity posture to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and identify an appropriate target state based on the organization’s threat and vulnerability profile. By combining the NIST Framework and CCS's Top 20 Critical Security Controls a useful current/target state analysis can be performed and then utilized as a driver for prioritized activities to improve an organization’s security posture. Using data gained during the various phases of a security audit to identify the current state. Working closely with your organization you will identify a target state based on the threats to your particular organization, your business needs, technology profile, and overall risk approach. Utilizing the results of technical security assessments, interviews, and documentation review to complete this service.
www.majkic.net  The National Institute of Standards released Version 1.0 of the NIST Cybersecurity FrameworkFeb 12, 2014. The Framework provides a common taxonomy and mechanism for organizations to describe current and target state cybersecurity postures, identify and prioritize opportunities for improvement, and communicate cybersecurity risk. The Framework Core consists of five concurrent and continuous Functions – Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover. Each of these Functions is further subdivided into several Categories that describe functions within an organization’s security program. The Categories are further divided into Subcategories which are tied to specific technical or management activities. Incident Response Incident Response Services  Incident response is a distinctly unsatisfying activity for most organizations. Adversaries, usually foreign, are rarely prosecuted or deterred. Ad hoc remediation is trial and error, devolving into a game of attacker whack-a-mole that drags on for months. Mid six figure response bills are common. Your company shoud offer a pragmatic, goal based approach to incident response. Your goal is to identify the extent of the breach, clean up it as quickly as possible and prevent re-entry by the attacker.  While prevention efforts should not be ignored, a true measure of an organization's resilience is found in its ability to quickly detect security intrusions, thoroughly uncover the extent and impact of those intrusions, and recover. Remote Network Monitoring Your company needs to ship you a network monitoring device which is remotely administer to capture and analyze network traffic. The device is configured based on your incident type to optimize results. Security engineers conduct daily data analysis to identify suspicious activity and determine Indicators of Compromises (IOCs), such as command and control (C2) channels used by attackers to access compromised systems. Malware Analysis Engineers should investigate discovered malware to determine impact, functionality, attribution, and/or specific Indicators of Compromise (IOCs). Process includes both static and dynamic analysis. Static analysis will identify file type, strings, debugger unpacking, and checksum comparisons. Dynamic analysis is performed in a sandboxed testing environment to monitor process, memory, and filesystem activity. Server/Host Data Analysis Following initial network monitoring engineers will gather data from key systems that appear to be affected. Live data is collected to retrieve and analyze relevant memory and filesystem attributes, logs, and artifacts. When necessary, forensic duplication can be conducted to retrieve and preserve a complete computer image. Log data is collected and analyzed from relevant network devices such as IDS, IPS, log servers, or similar. Remediation Planning & Assistance Using the results of investigative phases, engineers will design a coordinated remediation plan specific to your incident. Configuration recommendations and assistance are provided for host and network based security countermeasures. Assistance coordinating the remediation event ensures actions are taken to simultaneously remove the attacker and prevent re-entry, while accounting for IT dependencies and operations.

www.majkic.net Information Security Consulting & Implementation Sometimes referred to as computer security, Information Technology security is information security applied to technology (most often some form of computer system). It is worthwhile to note that a computer does not necessarily mean a home desktop. A computer is any device with a processor and some memory. Such devices can range from non-networked standalone devices as simple as calculators, to networked mobile computing devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. IT security specialists are almost always found in any major enterprise/establishment due to the nature and value of the data within larger businesses. They are responsible for keeping all of the technology within the company secure from malicious cyber attacks that often attempt to breach into critical private information or gain control of the internal systems. Software & Network Penetration Testing & Security Auditing Penetration testing (also called pen testing) is the practice of testing a computer system, network or Web application to find vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit. Digital Forensics Digital forensics (sometimes known as digital forensic science) is a branch of forensic science encompassing the recovery and investigation of material found in digital devices, often in relation to computer crime. Online Psychological Criminal Profiling The analysis of a person's psychological and behavioral characteristics with respect to that individuals on-line psychopathology. Cyber Criminal Investigation Various terms are used (and misused) to define cybercrime. Here, your company defines cybercrime as, "A criminal offense that has been created or made possible by the advent of computer technology, or a traditional crime which has been so transformed by the use of a computer that law enforcement investigators need a basic understanding of computers in order to investigate the crime."Within that broad definition lie two distinct sub-categories: Computer Crime and Computer-related Crime. Computer Crime involves the use of a computer as the primary instrument to facilitate the crime and the target thereof . While state laws vary somewhat, these crimes usually include the unauthorized:  use, access or damage to a computer system;  taking, copying, altering, deleting, or destroying computer data, software or programs;  disrupting computer services or denying computer services to an authorized user;  introducing a computer contaminant (viruses) into any computer or system; or,  misuse of someone else's Internet domain name. Computer-related Crime involves the use of a computer to commit a crime and/or as a repository of evidence related to the crime. Generally, this includes traditional crimes that have been transformed by computer technology such as:  computer-generated counterfeit documents;  computer generated threats;  possession of computer-based child pornography images; or,  any crime in which documents or evidence is stored in a computer such as records of narcotic distribution,  gambling or embezzlement. Computer-related crime can involve use of the Internet to facilitate crimes such as:  Internet auction fraud (primarily thefts);  criminal threats;
www.majkic.net  stalking (cyberstalking);  threatening or annoying electronic mail;  distribution of child pornography;  online gambling;  fraudulent credit card transactions;  fraudulent application for goods or services; or,  identity theft. The importance of recognizing these two distinct categories is critical in that they require varying levels of investigative skill. Specifically, computer crimes require a much higher degree of technical knowledge than computer-related crimes. Throughout this paper, you should make specific observations regarding these two categories of cybercrimes. Investigation of Cybercrime Many law enforcement agencies define cybercrime very narrowly and think of it only in terms of complex, computer-specific issues like hacking or crimes that require a forensic computer examination. This is a fatal flaw in two respects. First, it oversimplifies what are in fact very complex crimes, and secondly it inflates the investigative difficulty of relatively simply crimes. On a national level, law enforcement must recognize that many forms of simple theft and fraud are in fact cybercrimes if a computer is used to commit the crime. What may appear to be a simple theft of small proportions--and may even go unreported in many cases--may actually be a major crime with a huge loss. In fact, computer thieves have recognized the almost infinite number of victims available to them on an international scale and the MO of "taking a little bit from a lot of places" to avoid the normal detection systems has become all too common. Discussing the most pressing problems in the area of cybercrimes. These issues are divided into the areas of organizational structure, sharing of information, resources, regulations and prevention. Obviously, these topics can only be addressed in a limited manner in this paper.
