Considerations for Starting a NIST CSF Assessment 

In protecting an organization from cyber risk, clarity about the effectiveness of its cybersecurity program is imperative. The organization must understand its security posture and identify gaps in safeguards to ensure that security investments align with the organization’s risk appetite. Performing assessments using a reference framework, such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), provides the means for evaluating current cybersecurity posture and potentially identifying risk for further analysis. Additionally, the use of NIST CSF to create a current profile (where the organization stands at the time of the assessment relative to…

Women In Business During Covid-19 | Avast

I recently hosted a Women in Business Expo roundtable — which included participants from different cultures, backgrounds, and walks of life — on the topic of working in a technology role and managing Imposter Syndrome. Some of the participants worked in tech; some worked in male-dominated fields; some were hoping to get back into the workforce after taking a career break. And while everyone was at different stages in their careers, they all mentioned the importance of meeting women to whom they could relate.

Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software SSL/TLS Denial of Service
Vulnerability

Priority:        High

Advisory ID:     cisco-sa-asa-ssl-dos-7uZWwSEy

First Published: 2020 October 22 16:00 GMT

Version 1.0:     Interim

Workarounds:     No workarounds available

Cisco Bug IDs:   CSCvt64822

CVE-2020-27124   

CWE-457

Summary

  o A vulnerability in the SSL/TLS handler of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance
    (ASA) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the
    affected device to reload unexpectedly, leading to a denial of service
    (DoS) condition.

    The vulnerability is due to improper error handling on established SSL/TLS
    connections. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by establishing
    an SSL/TLS connection with the affected device and then sending a malicious
    SSL/TLS message within that connection. A successful exploit could allow
    the attacker to cause the device to reload.

    Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There
    are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

    This advisory is available at the following link:
    https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/
    cisco-sa-asa-ssl-dos-7uZWwSEy

Affected Products

  o Vulnerable Products

    This vulnerability affects Cisco ASA Software releases 9.13.1.12,
    9.13.1.13, and 9.14.1.10 if they have a feature enabled that causes the
    device to process SSL/TLS messages. These features include, but are not
    limited to, the following:

       AnyConnect SSL VPN ^ 1
       Clientless SSL VPN ^ 1
       HTTP server used for the management interface

    1. Cisco Adaptive Security Virtual Appliances (ASAv) are not vulnerable for
    these configurations.

    For information about which Cisco software releases are vulnerable, see the
    Fixed Software section of this advisory.

    Determine Whether a Device Could Process SSL or TLS Messages

    To verify whether a device that is running Cisco ASA Software could process
    SSL or TLS packets, use the show asp table socket | include SSL|DTLS 
    command and verify that it returns output. When this command returns any
    output, the device is vulnerable. When this command returns empty output,
    the device is not affected by the vulnerability described in this advisory.
    The following example shows the output of the show asp table socket |
    include SSL|DTLS command from a device that is vulnerable:

        ftd# show asp table socket | include SSL|DTLS
        SSL       0005aa68  LISTEN     x.x.x.x:443      0.0.0.0:*
        SSL       002d9e38  LISTEN     x.x.x.x:8443     0.0.0.0:*
        DTLS      0018f7a8  LISTEN     10.0.0.250:443   0.0.0.0:*

    Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable

    Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products section of this advisory
    are known to be affected by this vulnerability.

    Cisco has confirmed that this vulnerability does not affect Cisco Firepower
    Management Center (FMC) Software or Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD)
    Software.

Workarounds

  o There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Fixed Software

  o Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability
    described in this advisory. Customers may only install and expect support
    for software versions and feature sets for which they have purchased a
    license. By installing, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using such
    software upgrades, customers agree to follow the terms of the Cisco
    software license:
    https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/end-user-license-agreement.html

    Additionally, customers may only download software for which they have a
    valid license, procured from Cisco directly, or through a Cisco authorized
    reseller or partner. In most cases this will be a maintenance upgrade to
    software that was previously purchased. Free security software updates do
    not entitle customers to a new software license, additional software
    feature sets, or major revision upgrades.

    When considering software upgrades , customers are advised to regularly
    consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the
    Cisco Security Advisories page , to determine exposure and a complete
    upgrade solution.

    In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded
    contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software
    configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release.
    If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco
    Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance
    providers.

    Customers Without Service Contracts

    Customers who purchase directly from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service
    contract and customers who make purchases through third-party vendors but
    are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale
    should obtain upgrades by contacting the Cisco TAC: https://www.cisco.com/c
    /en/us/support/web/tsd-cisco-worldwide-contacts.html

    Customers should have the product serial number available and be prepared
    to provide the URL of this advisory as evidence of entitlement to a free
    upgrade.

    Fixed Releases

    Cisco has fixed this vulnerability in Cisco ASA releases 9.14.1.15 and
    later. Cisco will fix this vulnerability in Cisco ASA Release 9.13.1.15 in
    November 2020.

Hackers Hitting Below The Belt – Scott Scheferman – PSW #671

In 2020 attackers are increasingly targeting firmware and hardware – going below the operating system to hide from traditional security solutions and gain persistence. Both nation state actors and criminals are exploiting vulnerable, exposed firmware on network and VPN devices, and recently a new UEFI rootkit dubbed #MosaicRegressor was found in the wild. We’ll discuss how and why attackers are targeting firmware and hardware, and the steps security professionals can take to gain visibility into this attack surface and protect enterprise devices.

The Now-Defunct Firms Behind 8chan, QAnon

Some of the world’s largest Internet firms have taken steps to crack down on disinformation spread by QAnon conspiracy theorists and the hate-filled anonymous message board 8chan. But according to a California-based security researcher, those seeking to de-platform these communities may have overlooked a simple legal solution to that end: Both the Nevada-based web hosting company owned by 8chan’s current figurehead and the California firm that provides its sole connection to the Internet are defunct businesses in the eyes of their respective state regulators.

In practical terms, what this means is that the legal contracts which granted these companies temporary control over large swaths of Internet address space are now null and void, and American Internet regulators would be well within their rights to cancel those contracts and reclaim the space.

IBM Security: The Critical Solution for a World at Risk

I started in tech working for IBM and what makes the company unique is not its age—over 100 years—but the fact that it has since the beginning of when I got to know them in the 1970s taken security very seriously. My first large scale security experience was at IBM, and I learned the need […]

Eating Our Own Cooking at Contrast: Securing and Protecting TeamServer

It’s very rare that one has an opportunity to experience the development of a major software solution from the ground up and use that very product to secure and protect it at the same time. This is precisely what we’ve been able to do at Contrast Security. My engineering team is responsible for developing and managing TeamServer, the user interface for the Contrast Application Security Platform. The technology powering TeamServer automatically builds an application inventory across an entire organizational portfolio and provides continuous, real-time insight into application security. Rules are centrally managed by customers, who can push out new rules in real time.
