Download or read book How to Define and Build an Effective Cyber Threat Intelligence Capability written by Henry Dalziel and published by Syngress. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intelligence-Led Security: How to Understand, Justify and Implement a New Approach to Security is a concise review of the concept of Intelligence-Led Security. Protecting a business, including its information and intellectual property, physical infrastructure, employees, and reputation, has become increasingly difficult. Online threats come from all sides: internal leaks and external adversaries; domestic hacktivists and overseas cybercrime syndicates; targeted threats and mass attacks. And these threats run the gamut from targeted to indiscriminate to entirely accidental. Among thought leaders and advanced organizations, the consensus is now clear. Defensive security measures: antivirus software, firewalls, and other technical controls and post-attack mitigation strategies are no longer sufficient. To adequately protect company assets and ensure business continuity, organizations must be more proactive. Increasingly, this proactive stance is being summarized by the phrase Intelligence-Led Security: the use of data to gain insight into what can happen, who is likely to be involved, how they are likely to attack and, if possible, to predict when attacks are likely to come. In this book, the authors review the current threat-scape and why it requires this new approach, offer a clarifying definition of what Cyber Threat Intelligence is, describe how to communicate its value to business, and lay out concrete steps toward implementing Intelligence-Led Security. - Learn how to create a proactive strategy for digital security - Use data analysis and threat forecasting to predict and prevent attacks before they start - Understand the fundamentals of today's threatscape and how best to organize your defenses

Download or read book Mining Cyber Security Intelligence from Spam Data written by Tran Thai Son Dinh and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, information and communication technologies have been used to support and control almost every aspect of human life including health, finance, transportation, communication, work and recreation. Recent events have demonstrated that individuals and organizations can be victims of large-scale, astonishing and disrupting attacks, which may lead to severe consequences such as financial and time losses, ruined reputations and even life-threatening situations. Consequently, the security of information and communication technologies must be considered as one of the key roles in the operation of every organization. The first and foremost task is to gather as much information about cyber threats as possible so that cyber attacks can be detected, mitigated, predicted and prevented. Among various data sources used for inferring cyber threat intelligence, spam email data is one of the critical sources because spam emails, which are disseminated by botnets as spam campaigns, act as the pivotal instrument for several cyber-based criminal activities. In this thesis, we emphasize the importance of cyber security intelligence for the purpose of detecting, mitigating, predicting and preventing cyber attacks. We also concentrate on the correlation of different data sources to draw a big picture of cyber-crime activities around the globe. More precisely, we design and implement two software frameworks for detecting, analyzing and predicting cyber threats, which are phishing and spam campaigns. Regarding phishing attacks, we design and implement a near real-time phishing attack detection and assessment system that identifies phishing attacks targeting specific organizations. Moreover, we propose a novel method which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first contribution to assess the severity of phishing attacks as well as to reveal prospective phishing attempts. By correlating spamtrap and passive DNS data, we are able to infer other organizations that are targeted by the same phishing attack that we have detected. On the other hand, we design and implement another software framework for detecting, analyzing and investigating spam campaigns. Our system identifies spam campaigns on-the-fly, gathers external information about spam campaigns and reveals the characteristics of spam campaigns by labeling and scoring them. The latter system has been adopted by a governmental organization and used by law enforcement officials to pursuit spammers, take down spamming servers and reduce spam volume, which contribute to a cleaner and more secure online world.
