The risks of lack of access protection in cloud environments

The cloud concept is less and less a buzzword and more of a need. Everyone, from application developers, executives, and students, is benefiting from the flexibility and reliability of cloud-based solutions.

Although the cloud has evolved a lot in recent years, there are still risks involved. One of the main concerns of cybersecurity professionals is the protection of access in cloud environments.

The cloud hosts data for thousands and thousands of people – including third parties, employees, and customers – which increases the attack surface. A successful attack can be fatal for many companies, and directly affect business continuity.

In this article, we explore some of the main risks associated with the lack of protection in cloud access. Also, we explain how some basic actions can be strategic to mitigate the risks of lack of management and access protection in cloud environments.

With a little planning, you can effectively mitigate these risks and take advantage of all that the constantly evolving cloud has to offer. Keep reading on and find out what risks you are exposed to due to the lack of protection for cloud accesses.

 

Lack of Governance

Do you have control of the data in your cloud environment? Do you know what information your employees have access to? Do outsourced employees have limited and controlled access to your cloud? The answers to these questions indicate whether your organization has good governance in the cloud or not.

Cloud governance ensures that all actions, from the implementation of a new server to the interactions of systems and data security, are properly managed.

The move from local infrastructures in companies to cloud environments adds layers of complexity to the protection of systems. It also means that more people in your company have the potential to impact these systems. That is why it is essential to develop and maintain a cloud governance model for access management.

By designating who has access to each part of the asset, information, and system management, your governance plan will determine the necessary limits on who can access and impact your infrastructure.

As mentioned earlier, this is especially important considering how easy it is to deploy new servers and other assets in the cloud. The last thing you want is applications and IT initiatives that are not properly managed, impacting your systems architecture and negatively impacting customers and users.

Controlling access to your cloud’s critical assets is essential for a more reliable environment, especially if you outsource software development to other companies.

 

Data Breaches

Data breaches are a major cybersecurity concern as the amount of data transmitted over the internet has been growing exponentially. This continuous transfer of information makes it possible for attackers anywhere to attempt to breach data in almost any company they choose.

What are the main ways in which a data breach can occur? The simplest way to view private data is to steal someone else’s login credentials to enter a system.

To that end, attackers apply a series of strategies to get their hands on the logins and passwords of a company’s employees. This is a big risk associated with the lack of access protection in your cloud because even less-skilled attackers can easily access your company’s data.

Internal threats are also a form of a data breach. These threats involve employees who have access to protected information, deliberately exposing that data, often for personal gain. In that sense, when there is no proper access control to manage what employees and outsourced people do in the cloud environment, this threat can become real.

Access control is a way to minimize risks associated with data breaches, ensuring that your employees have only the minimum access and permissions necessary to do their job.

 

Non-Compliance With Market Laws and Regulations

New laws such as the LGPD (General Data Protection Law) are increasingly demanding the development of a series of procedures for data protection from Brazilian companies. The law should be applied to any organization that performs operations with personal data, such as the collection, transmission, storage, or processing of data from Brazilians…

If your company fits into this segment, it is important to understand how access protection failures in your cloud environment can negatively affect business.

In cases where a breach of personal data occurs and if your company has not taken the required basic protection measures, you may suffer penalties, such as regulatory fines from the LGPD, which can reach 2% of revenues or R$ 50 million reais. Also, when it comes to cloud environments, you need to know where your cloud provider is located.

As an example, if your provider is located in any region of Europe, you should also seek compliance with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) in order not to suffer penalties.

Meanwhile, in the payment methods market, certifications such as the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) determine the importance of access control and management for cloud environments and define strong security policies for protecting customers.

Another example of regulation required by the payment methods market is Bacen’s Resolution 4658. The resolution is meant to guide procedures and controls to reduce cyber vulnerabilities and meet cybersecurity goals in cloud environments. Not complying is not an option for businesses.

 

Your Company and Your Customers at Risk

Cloud providers can guarantee compliance for their infrastructure and environment, but compliance with security and risk mitigation requirements is still entirely your responsibility.

We have already discussed access risks in cloud environments, so it is important to remember what is at risk. A breach of your data or your customer’s data can be devastating, depending on the type of data and the breach extent.

The costs of investigating and resolving a breach, associated legal expenses, and losses to a company’s reputation can be enough to make its business unfeasible.

How PAM can help against insider threats

 

Insider threats take many forms. Some are malicious agents looking for financial gain. Others are simply careless or unaware employees who click on suspicious links.

An insider threat can be defined as someone close to an organization, with authorized access, improperly using that access to negatively impact the organization’s critical information or systems.

Insider threats have the potential to do major damage to a company’s cybersecurity. One way to defend it against insider threats is by focusing on controlling privileged access.

In this article, we talk about some ways that PAM (Privileged Access Management) assists companies against cyber risks associated with insider threats.

Keep reading and learn about the possibilities of reducing the impacts of insider threats with Privileged Access Management.

Cyber risks associated with insider threats

Insider threats are not always exclusively people who work directly for your organization. We can include consultants, outsourced contractors, suppliers, and anyone who has legitimate access to some of your resources.

To understand more about the subject, we have selected five possible scenarios in which insider threats can arise.

  • An employee or third party who performs inappropriate actions that are not intentionally malicious, they are just careless. Often, these people look for ways to do their jobs, but they misuse the assets, do not follow acceptable usage policies, and install unauthorized or dubious applications.
  • A partner or third party that compromises security through negligence, misuse, or malicious access or use of an asset. For example, a system administrator may incorrectly configure a server or database, making it open to the public instead of private and with controlled access, inadvertently exposing confidential information.
  • An agent bribed or requested by a third party to extract information and data. People under financial stress are often the main targets.
  • A rejected or dissatisfied employee is motivated to bring down an organization from the inside, disrupting business and destroying or altering data.
  • A person with legitimate privileged access to corporate assets, who seeks to exploit them for personal gain, usually stealing and redirecting information.

Whether the damage is caused intentionally or accidentally, the consequences of insider attacks are very real.

One of the ways to mitigate the risks of the scenarios above is to implement monitoring tools to track who accessed which files and alert administrators about unusual activities.

In addition to these actions, the management of privileged accounts also helps to reduce damage caused by insider threats and contributes to proactive cybersecurity behavior.

PAM and Privileged Accounts

Privileged accounts are those with elevated access permission that allow account holders to access critical systems and perform administrative or privileged tasks. Like ordinary user accounts, privileged accounts also require a password to access systems and perform tasks.

Privileged accounts can be used by people or be non-human when used by applications or systems. The latter are also called service accounts. Privileged accounts, such as administrative accounts, are often used by system administrators to manage applications and hardware, such as network assets, and databases.

The problem with these accounts is that they are often shared, used on many systems, and can use weak or standard passwords, making it easier for insider agents to work.

Thus, when these accounts are not properly managed, they give insider agents the ability to access and download the organization’s most sensitive data, distribute malicious software, bypass existing security controls, and delete trails to hide their activities in audits.

One of the most secure ways to manage privileged accounts is through PAM (Privileged Access Management) solutions. This solution consists of cybersecurity strategies and technologies to exercise control over privileged access and permissions for users, accounts, processes, and systems in a corporate environment.

Check below how PAM solutions are important allies to reduce cyber risks associated with insider threats.

PAM and Insider Threats

As mentioned, privileged accounts represent high-value targets for insider agents.

Organizations need to adopt a Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution and also provide data on access to privileged accounts for this solution in their monitoring systems.

Therefore, we selected 7 resources present in the PAM solutions that are strategic for those companies that seek to reduce the possibilities of insider threats.

  • Use of effective policies for all employees, whether remote, service providers or third parties.
  • Protection for the credentials of your most confidential assets (confidential applications, databases, privileged accounts, and other critical systems) in a central and secure repository.
  • Limitation of privileged access to confidential information, such as customer data, personally identifiable information, trade secrets, intellectual property, and confidential financial data.
  • Least privilege procedures and resources to provide employees with just the access they need. This is what we call need-to-know.
  • Limitation of local administrator rights for all employees’ workstations; and implementation of permission, restriction, and denial policies to block malicious applications.
  • Implementation of workflows for the creation and governance of privileged accounts.
  • Monitoring and recording of privileged access to confidential information, data, and systems.

That is, the first steps to better protect yourself and your customers from insider threats consist of applying at least some privileged access management best practices.

Start by learning more about how the principle of least privilege works, then it is important to establish and apply the best password management practices and, finally, invest in a comprehensive PAM solution that has all these resources at your disposal.

senhasegura is a PAM solution that has granular access controls, credential management, detailed logging and session recording, and the ability to analyze user behavior.

The vulnerability of the Sudo APP in Linux

In the late 1960s, AT&T Bell Labs launched Unix, its operating system. The new system, which uses a command-line interface, or CLI, soon became popular in companies around the world for having open source, in addition to allowing easy modification and good portability. Almost three decades later, in 1991, Linus Torvalds, a software engineer at the University of Helsinki, created his own operating system, which he called Linux. The origin of the name of this new system would be exactly the name of its developer associated with the word Unix, on which the Linux kernel is based.

Today, both operating systems are present all over the world, in addition to several types of devices: from embedded systems of automobiles and mobile phones to network devices and web servers. Additionally, Linux-based operating systems have been sought by IT application developers. Many technologies associated with the DevOps universe, such as containers and cloud environments, are built around Linux.

However, along with the growth in its use, the threats associated with Unix and Linux-based operating systems are also greater. According to IBM in its X-Force Threat Intelligence Index report, in 2020 alone, hackers have created 56 categories of viruses for Linux, a 40% increase from 2019. Malicious attackers also take advantage of the growing use of Linux/Unix to discover and exploit vulnerabilities in these systems.

One of the most powerful and fundamental tools for Linux and Unix users is Sudo, or SuperUser DO, and is found in all distributions of these operating systems. And when a vulnerability is found in Sudo, the problem is certainly very critical. That’s because Sudo is a command used to access privileged files and operations on Unix-based operating systems. By default, these operating systems restrict access to certain parts of the system, allowing sensitive files to be compromised by users. Thus, the Sudo command temporarily elevates the user’s privileges, allowing the execution of administrative tasks without the user having to authenticate as an administrator or root. 

In early 2021, Qualys discovered and disclosed another critical vulnerability associated with Linux Sudo. The CVE-2021-3156 heap overflow vulnerability, also known as Baron Samedit, was addressed in the update to Sudo version 1.9.5p2, released in late January. 

CVE-2021-3156, which would have been present in the operating system for at least 10 years, allows a malicious attacker with a common, low-privileged user to gain privileged access, even if their account is not listed in /etc/Sudoers – a configuration file that controls which users have access to the Sudo command. 

To give you an idea, in the last two years, two other vulnerabilities in the Sudo command have been found, but none as serious and dangerous as the discovery by the Qualys’ security team, considering the scope and impact of the newly discovered vulnerability. This is mainly because this vulnerability is found in several Linux-based operating systems and distributions, such as Ubuntu 20.04, Debian 10, and Fedora 33. 

One way to mitigate the risks associated with this vulnerability is to update Sudo on your Linux servers to version 1.9.5p2. Besides, if the Sudo and Sudoedit binaries are not in use, we suggest that they be excluded from the servers. Finally, it is recommended to use senhasegura.go for Linux to control the elevation of privileges on devices.

By using senhasegura.go on devices, one can temporarily elevate user privileges for executing commands and applications, allowing control of the administrative privileges of the credentials managed by the solution. Through a local agent installed on workstations, senhasegura.go allows you to start applications and execute commands by injecting credentials automatically. Other features offered by senhasegura.go include:

  • It is possible to use lists of authorized, blocked, and notified actions for execution;
  • In addition to working on Sudo, senhasegura.go also offers an additional layer of 

security over tools such as ACS, PAM, and SELinux, without the need to update the kernel, acting as LSM (Linux Security Machines);

  • Logging of all actions performed through privileged credentials, bringing maximum visibility to actions performed by users, reducing the effort of auditing privileged activities;
  • Complete integration with the senhasegura PAM platform.

What is Application-to-Application Password Management (AAPM)?

Application-to-Application Password Management (AAPM) eliminates the need to store credentials in application source codes, scripts, and configuration files.

In this way, passwords are managed by the AAPM solution and become unknown to developers and support staff.

Also, an AAPM solution allows applications and scripts to securely obtain access credentials to other applications, eliminating the need for third-party applications and scripts to store access credentials.

The credentials stored in the solution are always encrypted and access is controlled and configurable, making it possible to change credentials at any time.

Keep reading this article and learn more about other benefits and best practices of an AAPM solution.

What is Application-to-Application Password Management (AAPM)?

The authentication process is not just for administrator users to log on interactively to computers, network equipment, and applications. Software-based applications and services must also prove their identity to other services before being granted access.

Storing credentials and passwords in plain text within the code carries significant risk. This practice is known as hard-coding and has the risk associated with the possibility that malicious people can quickly discover these credentials, increasing the possibility of privilege abuse in the systems. 

Application-to-Application Password Management (AAPM) eliminates the need to store credentials in an unencrypted text in the application.

Instead, developers introduce API calls into its code to programmatically access the credential and perform password operations. The password can be stored in the application’s memory and not written to the disk.

After the application is closed, the memory is deallocated and the password expires, leaving no room for malicious actions. Using this approach, AAPM protects credentials and controls access to them.

Benefits of Application-to-Application Password Management (AAPM)

Application-to-Application Password Management (AAPM) offers the following advantages:

  • It stores encrypted credentials in a tamper-resistant location. Credentials are not stored in plain text.
  • It prevents unauthorized users from gaining access to credentials.
  • Based on the configured password policies, AAPM dynamically changes the credentials of a target account. These changes are sent to the requesting servers to keep the local cache up to date.
  • Reliable authentication of all password requests made by applications.
  • Use of the solution’s connection API to manage application credentials.
  • Granular access control, providing remote access to a specific service or application without displaying the password to the requesting user.

The solution uses its own template for changing the password of the application credentials and stores the new encrypted password in its database. The credential can be viewed directly by the solution’s connection API or inserted directly into the application server connection pool.

 

Best Practices for Application-to-Application Password Management (AAPM)

For the holistic management of privileged credentials between applications, the following practices are recommended.

  • Discover all privileged credentials, such as shared administrator, user, service application and accounts, SSH keys, database accounts, cloud, and social media accounts. It includes those used by third parties and suppliers, in their on-premises and cloud infrastructure.
  • The discovery should include all platforms (Windows, Unix, Linux, cloud, local, and more), directory, hardware device, application, services, firewalls, routers.
  • The discovery should clarify where and how privileged passwords are being used, and help reveal blind spots of security and neglect, such as:

○ Long-forgotten orphan accounts that could provide an attacker with a back door to your infrastructure.

○ Passwords with no expiration date.

○ Inappropriate use of privileged passwords, such as using the same administrator account on multiple service accounts.

○ SSH keys reused on multiple servers.

  • New systems and applications are being developed all the time, so make periodic discoveries to ensure that all privileged credentials are protected, centralized, under management.
  • Manage application passwords. Protecting hardcoded passwords requires separating the password from the code so that when not in use, it is securely stored in a centralized password vault, instead of being constantly exposed as in plain text.
  • When implementing API calls, you can gain control over scripts, files, code, and hardcoded keys, eliminating hard-coding credentials. After doing this, you can automate your password updates as often as the policy requires.
  • Bring SSH keys for management. SSH keys are like just another password, although followed by a key pair that must also be managed. Update private keys and passwords regularly and ensure that each system has a unique key pair.
  • Threat analysis. Continuously analyze password, user, and privileged account behavior to detect anomalies and potential threats. The more integrated and centralized password management is, the more easily you can generate reports on accounts, keys, and systems exposed to risks. A higher degree of automation can accelerate your awareness and orchestrate a response to threats, such as allowing you to immediately block an account or session or change a password.

Many government and market regulations (PCI DSS, for example) state that confidential information should not be hardcoded. Eliminating hardcoded passwords and ensuring that application credentials undergo periodic password resets help organizations meet auditing and compliance requirements.
