In the Pandemic Era, Proof Digital Identity with Continuous Authentication & Behavioral Biometrics

This past November at the 2020 ISMG Virtual Cybersecurity & Fraud Summit in Washington D.C., I presented on how organizations can make digital identity both user-friendly and near-impenetrable. My session, Proofing Digital Identity with Continuous Authentication & Behavioral Biometrics considered how behavioral biometrics offers a better balancing-act between security, privacy, compliance, and user experience.

From Google Cloud Blog: “New whitepaper: Designing and deploying a data security strategy with Google Cloud”

Here is another very fun resource we created (jointly with Andrew Lance from Sidechain), a paper on designing and running data security strategy on Google Cloud.

— —

William Gibson said it best: “The future is already here — it’s just not evenly distributed.”

The cloud has arrived. Data security in the cloud is too often a novel problem for our customers. Well-worn paths to security are lacking. We often see customers struggling to adapt their data security posture to this new reality. There is an understanding that data security is critical, but a lack of well understood principles to drive an effective data security program. Thus, we are excited to share a view of how to deploy a modern and effective data security program.

Today, we are releasing a new white paper “Designing and deploying a data security strategy with Google Cloud” that accomplishes exactly that. It was written jointly by Andrew Lance of Sidechain (Sidechain blog post about this paper) and Dr. Anton Chuvakin, with a fair amount of help from other Googlers, of course.

Before we share some of our favorite quotes from the paper, let me spend a few more minutes explaining the vision behind it.

Specifically, we wanted to explore both the question of starting a data security program in a cloud-native way, as well as adjusting your existing daily security program when you start utilizing cloud computing.

Imagine you are migrating to the cloud and you are a traditional company. You have some data security capabilities, and most likely you have an existing daily security program, part of your overall security program. Perhaps you are deploying tools like DLP, encryption, data classification and possibly others. Suddenly, or perhaps not so suddenly, you’re migrating some of your data processing and some of your data to the cloud. What to do? Do my controls still work? Are my practices current? Am I looking at the right threats? How do I marry my cloud migration effort and my other daily security effort? Our paper seeks to address this scenario by giving you advice on the strategy, complete with Google Cloud examples.

On the other hand, perhaps you are the company that was born in the cloud. In this case, you may not have an existing data security effort. However, if you plan to process sensitive or regulated data in the cloud, you need to create one. How does a cloud native data security program look like? Which of the lessons learned by others on premise I can ignore? What are some of the cloud-native ways for securing the data?

As a quick final comment, the paper does not address the inclusion of privacy requirements. It is a worthwhile and valuable goal, just not the one we touched in the paper.

Here are some of our favorite quotes from the paper:

  • “Simply applying a data security strategy designed for on-premise workloads isn’t adequate [for the cloud]. It lacks the ability to address cloud-specific requirements and doesn’t take advantage of the great amount of [cloud] security services and capabilities”
  • A solid cloud data security strategy should rely on three pillars: “Identity / Access Boundaries / Visibility” (the last item covers the spectrum of assessment, detection, investigation and other monitoring and observability needs)
  • Useful questions to ponder include ”How does my data security strategy need to change to accommodate a shift to the cloud? What new security challenges for data protection do I need to be aware of in the cloud? What does my cloud provider offer that could streamline or replace my on-premise controls?”
  • “You will invariably need to confront data security requirements in your journey to the cloud, and performing a “lift and shift” for your data security program won’t work to address the unique opportunities and challenges the cloud offers.”
  • “As your organization moves its infrastructure and operations to the cloud, shift your data protection strategies to cloud-native thinking.”

Chrome wants to make your passwords stronger

A common sentiment, shared by many people down the years, is that storing passwords in browsers is a bad idea. Malware, for example, would specifically target password storage in browsers and plunder everything in sight.

Password managers weren’t exactly flying off the shelves back in 2007, your only real options were home grown. People ended up saving logins in all sorts of odd places: Text files, email accounts…you name it. Naturally, security-minded folks gravitated towards saving passwords in browsers, because what else were they going to do?

The browser password wars

Even just 8 years ago, it was still a hotly contested debate. The problem then was that passwords were stored in plain text. They aren’t now, but if the device you’re using is compromised it doesn’t matter. Malware files can decrypt your passwords, or wait for you to do it. So, no matter how recently you look, many of the same threats still exist for browser passwords. And new ones emerge, like the rogue advertisers trying to grab autofill data.

Let’s be clear: things are better now for passwords in browsers than they used to be. Even something as basic as having to enter your Windows password to view or copy saved passwords is reassuring. Making use of encryption, instead of leaving data lying around in plaintext, is excellent. Browsers taking things one step beyond simply storing, and checking for stolen passwords is great. Real time phishing protection is the icing on an ever-growing cake.

With that in mind, Chrome continues to make inroads in the name of beefing up browser password safety.

Weak password? Chrome 88 can help

Beginning with Chrome version 88, you can now check for weak passwords (open Settings and search for “Passwords”) and alter them on the fly, with just a few clicks. The “Change password” button doesn’t alter anything inside the browser, which may disappoint. It simply takes you to the site where you use that feeble password. At this point, you’ll have to manually alter the details. The browser should then detect you’ve altered the password and update its password database, as it normally would.

If you really want to know what the stored password is but can’t remember it, you’ll need your Windows login, as mentioned earlier.

There’s not a huge amount to add about this new feature, as it is indeed incredibly simple to use. A list of all your potentially weak passwords is displayed, and off you go to fix them all. This is to its benefit. It’s easy to get bogged down in password minutiae and end up not bothering.

You don’t need bells and whistles while looking for weak passwords. You just want a list of sites, and to be told where there’s a problem. In this regard, the new functionality more than delivers.

Browser or password manager?

Having said all of that…you may still wish to ignore all the above and stick with a dedicated password manager. No matter what password features are added to browsers, some folks will never want anything to do with that. There are a wealth of choices available. Totally offline, or online functionality: the choice really is yours. I’d be surprised if there isn’t something for everyone in the options available. But if you really don’t want a password manager, then browsers are a better solution than nothing at all.

Do you prefer to keep all your tools in the browser basket, or cast passwords away into dedicated password managers? Either way, we wish you many years of secure password management to come.

K09604370: Linux kernel and TMM vulnerability CVE-2020-25705

Original Publication Date: 24 Dec, 2020
Latest   Publication Date: 22 Jan, 2021

Security Advisory Description

A flaw in the way reply ICMP packets are limited in the Linux kernel
functionality was found that allows to quickly scan open UDP ports. This flaw
allows an off-path remote user to effectively bypassing source port UDP
randomization. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality
and possibly integrity, because software that relies on UDP source port
randomization are indirectly affected as well. Kernel versions before 5.10 may
be vulnerable to this issue. (CVE-2020-25705)

Impact

A remote off-path attacker can determine open User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
source ports on a vulnerable system based on Internet Control Message Protocol
(ICMP) error messages, making it possible to execute a "SAD DNS attack."

Security Advisory Status

F5 Product Development has assigned ID 974093 (BIG-IP-control plane), ID 982697
(BIG-IP-data plane) and ID 974093-4 (BIG-IQ) to this vulnerability.

Security Advisory Recommended Actions

If you are running a version listed in the Versions known to be vulnerable
column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by upgrading to a version listed
in the Fixes introduced in column. If the table lists only an older version
than what you are currently running, or does not list a non-vulnerable version,
then no upgrade candidate currently exists.

Mitigation

  o BIG-IP control plane: Block outgoing ICMP port unreachable messages on the
    management interface
  o BIG-IP data plane: Lower the ICMP rate limit on TMM interfaces
       Configure the maximum reject rate
       Configure the ICMP error rate

BIG-IP control plane: Block outgoing ICMP port unreachable messages on the
management interface

To mitigate this vulnerability on the management interface, you can block
outgoing ICMP port unreachable messages. To do so, perform the following
procedure:

Impact of action: The impact of blocking ICMP packets depends on your specific
environment. F5 recommends testing any such changes during a maintenance window
with consideration to the possible impact on your specific environment.

 1. Log in to the BIG-IP command line.
 2. Block outgoing ICMP port unreachable messages by entering the following
    command:

    iptables -A OUTPUT -p icmp --icmp-type destination-unreachable -j DROP

 3. Create a backup of the /config/startup file by entering the following
    command:

    cp /config/startup /config/startup.backup

 4. Using a text editor, edit the /config/startup file.
 5. To ensure iptables changes persist across a reboot, add the following lines
    at the end of the file:

    # For CVE-2020-25705 described in K09604370
    #
    iptables -A OUTPUT -p icmp --icmp-type destination-unreachable -j DROP
    #

 6. Save the /config/startup file and exit the editor.

BIG-IP data plane: Lower the ICMP rate limit on TMM interfaces

To mitigate this vulnerability on the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM)
interfaces, you can lower the ICMP rate limit. Adjust to a lower value to
lessen the possibility of the vulnerability being exploited, but ensure it is
still acceptable based on your environment and conditions. To do so, perform
the following procedure:

Configure the maximum reject rate

The tm.maxrejectrate database key allows you to adjust the number of TCP RST
packets or ICMP unreachable packets that the BIG-IP system sends in response to
incoming client-side or server-side packets that cannot be matched with
existing connections to BIG-IP virtual servers, self IP addresses, or secure
network address translations (SNATs). The default value for the
tm.maxrejectrate key is 250 TCP RSTs or 250 ICMP unreachable packets per
second. The minimum value allowed is 1 and the maximum value is 1000.

To adjust the rate at which the BIG-IP system issues TCP RSTs or ICMP
unreachable packets, perform the following procedure:

Impact of action: The impact of lowering the rate limit of ICMP packets depends
on your specific environment. F5 recommends testing any such changes during a
maintenance window with consideration to the possible impact on your specific
environment.

 1. Log in to the TMOS Shell (tmsh) by entering the following command:

    tmsh

 2. Adjust the tm.maxrejectrate database key by using the following command
    syntax:

    modify sys db tm.maxrejectrate value 

    For example, to change tm.maxrejectrate to 50, enter the following command:

    modify sys db tm.maxrejectrate value 50

Configure the ICMP error rate

The tm.maxicmprate BigDB key allows you to limit the number of responses the
BIG-IP LTM system sends for ICMP errors. The default value for the 
tm.maxicmprate BigDB key is 100.

To adjust the number of ICMP error responses from a BIG-IP system, perform the
following procedure:

Impact of action: The impact of lowering the rate limit of ICMP packets depends
on your specific environment. F5 recommends testing any such changes during a
maintenance window with consideration to the possible impact on your specific
environment.

 1. Log in to tmsh by entering the following command:

    tmsh

 2. Adjust the tm.maxicmprate database key by using the following command
    syntax:

    modify /sys db tm.maxicmprate value 

    For example, to change tm.maxicmprate to 50, enter the following command:

    modify sys db tm.maxicmprate value 50

 3. If the tm.maxforwardicmprate database key is not set to the default value
    of 0, lower the value by using the previous command syntax replacing
    tm.maxicmprate with tm.maxforwardicmprate.
