為什麼端點防護要自動切換的安全規則?

理論上在確保資訊安全是簡單清楚的規則:IT 應確保只有經過核准的使用者,可以合法存取資訊系統。相信他們存取的原因是正當業務所需,並且假設開始使用也會做正確的操作。然而在實務上,安全的達成一直是安管人員在規則”拒絕” 的一系列靜態過程;「拒絕存取」是在使用者與工作所需的資源之間設置障礙。結果是靜態安全性規則,嚴重妨礙使用者工作效率,並降低組織主要業務處理速度。入侵企業盜竊破壞,甚至網路恐怖主義等風險,已經讓安全防護變成了一種動態的情境,需要採取更智慧的對策。

而COVID-19 大流行迫使組織,快速從完全在公司內辦公或混合辦公室/遠端辦公,轉向配置遠端工作環境。這一轉型最緊迫的挑戰之一是:組織必須面對端點設備安全的保護管理方式發生驟變。重要的是考慮遠端工作的員工,更可能將工作端點裝置同時用於購物、支付帳單和一般 Web 瀏覽活動。這會增加洩漏露公司資料的風險。當遇上網路釣魚郵件相關的事件時,組織的資料安全保護變得脆弱。

 

傳統規則的挑戰

看看網路極端點安全在目前的機制,通常以偵測威脅為應對措施主軸。在邊境建置防火牆控制網路進出,過濾流過的封包資料。當出現不好的事情時就做出針對回應,相對容易實施。但企業內部的幾個變化趨勢:機動工作、遠距工作的員工增加,和雲端服務的廣泛採用,使得傳統的外圍已不容易區分和防守。同樣,網路活動的”好”或”壞”就變得模糊不清。靜態規則就無法正確的適用在不同的情境。

讓我們用一個例子說明傳統規則的侷限性。Alvina 是一位資料分析專家,即將向經理報告研究成果。她嘗試望將簡報檔複製到 USB 儲存裝置上作為備份。傳統的防護規則是,阻擋儲存到USB 媒體上,並示警及稽核記錄。這在業務活動上造成了幾個困擾:

使用者方面

  • 影響使用者,讓Alvina 感到挫折,因為簡單的工作被阻止
  • Alvina 會找到另一種替代方案來解決她的問題
  • 資料保護系統使工作變得沒有效率

管理者影響

  • 管理者被迫需要追蹤事件與警報訊息
  • 過多的警報訊息淹沒安全管理團隊
  • 因為有太多警報,安全管理團隊調整或關閉 DLP 政策

現存於環境中的各種不同的工具和產品,利用不同的技術保護組織的資訊資料。雖然這些工具旨在執行相同資料保護工作,卻在實務上很難真正有效率的管理。這是因為使用靜態的、以威脅為中心的策略來管理存取作業,欠缺良好整合,只能各自提供獨立功能,沒法兼顧多種業務運作活動。

 

主動適應政策調整

為了解決靜態規則無法適當應對變動的環境,主動適應政策根據不同環境條件提前,建立不同對應行動計畫,可簡化團隊管理複雜度,並減低對使用者工作的干擾。建議的適應條件考量:

遠距工作

遠距工作者所使用的裝置,可能是公司的受控設備,也可能自攜帶裝置。工作的場所也可能是咖啡廳、自宅,所面臨的風險不一。依照工作形式切換必要的管理政策,防止不當連線或資源存取。

  • 以公司裝置利用VPN 存取公司的服務
  • 以自用裝置RDP 連入公司裝置。
  • 以公司裝置RDP 到另一台公司裝置。

 

所在地理區
不同國家、地區因基礎建設完善度不一,可能安全性不足等顧慮。

跨廠區工作
配合當地的安全管理政策。

應用程式執行或連線至重要網站
當指定應用程式被執行,或連結公司內部敏感站台時,安全層級對應調整。

使用者自決(User Override)
部分事件可由使用者自行決定放寬,變更後系統依據條件學習並自動處置。

管理者(主管)核准
除使用者自決外,部分事件變更須經過管理人員核准。

威脅等級變化
威脅等級升高,關閉部分功能,甚至凍結防止事態擴大。

 

結論

目前疫情尚未明朗,依賴遠端工作的環境可能會成為常態。通過識別遠距工作及威脅環境變更,主動適應性政策,變更對應資安等級的方式,並實施必要的行動來應對;組織將處於更有利、更具主動積極防禦的位置,從而維持業務連續保持競爭力。

Thank You 2020 – It’s Been Quite A Ride!

What a year.

What a year this has been to humanity, an epidemic has fundamentally changed the way we interact with one another, social distancing, lockdowns and restrictions in virtually everything we do. Covid-19 has changed the way we conduct business and shifted the way we secure our businesses.

Adversaries’ activities are at an all-time high, be it nation state actors or financially driven attackers. The ever-changing threat landscape is evolving faster than ever and OT networks and IoT devices are a core target for such malicious activities. Repeated attacks from threat actors sponsored by nation-states, such as the recent SolarWinds attack on Microsoft, FireEye, the US government, and around 18,000 other organizations, have prompted fears not only of significant physical damage and economic disruption but also of the increased possibility of all-out cyber warfare. You could describe the situation as an all-out war, only with no guns involved and not a single bullet shot.

In the midst of all of this, we felt that it is imperative to support the broader community and so with the outbreak of Coronavirus earlier this year, we offered all of our products for free for an initial term. And today, we are honored to protect some of the world’s largest organizations in manufacturing and critical infrastructure. In fact, the Japanese government publicly praised SCADAfence’s efforts to secure multiple Japanese organizations, completely free of charge.

Despite the Covid-19 pandemic and possibly because of the recent spike in attacks, our team at SCADAfence has managed to sustain our exponential growth and the continued scaling of our global footprint with rapid expansion in new markets, such as LATAM and APAC.

This rapid expansion can also be attributed to our technological advancements and innovation. Launching new features based on customers’ real needs, such as our User Activity Tracking, a feature that was built specifically for the new, work from home norm; and the SCADAfence Governance portal, which centrally monitors the adherence to industry standard and regulations.

One of the things we’ve always taken pride in is putting our customer’s needs as our top priority. To that end, SCADAfence has won 11 industry awards in 2020, more than all companies in the OT security industry combined – but that all pales in comparison to having the highest customer satisfaction rating on Gartner’s Peer Insights. Not to mention the feedback we’ve been receiving from our customers, here’s just one example:

 “SCADAfence has well exceeded all of our expectations in both service level and product quality. Their team has been extremely knowledgeable, customer-focused, and timely in all aspects of our interactions.”

Process Controls Engineer at a Fortune 100, O&G company.

There’s no doubt that 2020 has been a challenging year but also a year full of growth, dedication and grit. I’d like to thank our entire team for all their hard work, efforts and creativity. A big thank you to all of our partners and of course, our customers for choosing to work with us, it’s not a given and never will be.

If you’ve made it this far and even if you did not, I’d like wish you a great 2021!

Enjoy the holiday season and stay safe.

Happy new year!
