Privileged Attack Vectors
See how privileges, insecure passwords, administrative rights, and remote access can be combined as an attack vector to breach any organization. Cyber attacks continue to increase in volume and sophistication. It is not a matter of if, but when, your organization will be breached. Threat actors target the path of least resistance: users and their privileges. In decades past, an entire enterprise might be sufficiently managed through just a handful of credentials. Today’s environmental complexity has seen an explosion of privileged credentials for many different account types such as domain and local administrators, operating systems (Windows, Unix, Linux, macOS, etc.), directory services, databases, applications, cloud instances, networking hardware, Internet of Things (IoT), social media, and so many more. When unmanaged, these privileged credentials pose a significant threat from external hackers and insider threats. We are experiencing an expanding universe of privileged accounts almost everywhere. There is no one solution or strategy to provide the protection you need against all vectors and stages of an attack. And while some new and innovative products will help protect against or detect against a privilege attack, they are not guaranteed to stop 100% of malicious activity. The volume and frequency of privilege-based attacks continues to increase and test the limits of existing security controls and solution implementations. Privileged Attack Vectors details the risks associated with poor privilege management, the techniques that threat actors leverage, and the defensive measures that organizations should adopt to protect against an incident, protect against lateral movement, and improve the ability to detect malicious activity due to the inappropriate usage of privileged credentials. This revised and expanded second edition covers new attack vectors, has updated definitions for privileged access management (PAM), new strategies for defense, tested empirical steps for a successful implementation, and includes new disciplines for least privilege endpoint management and privileged remote access. What You Will Learn Know how identities, accounts, credentials, passwords, and exploits can be leveraged to escalate privileges during an attack Implement defensive and monitoring strategies to mitigate privilege threats and risk Understand a 10-step universal privilege management implementation plan to guide you through a successful privilege access management journey Develop a comprehensive model for documenting risk, compliance, and reporting based on privilege session activity Who This Book Is For Security management professionals, new security professionals, and auditors looking to understand and solve privilege access management problems
Privileged Access Management for Secure Storage Administration: IBM Spectrum Scale with IBM Security Verify Privilege Vault
There is a growing insider security risk to organizations. Human error, privilege misuse, and cyberespionage are considered the top insider threats. One of the most dangerous internal security threats is the privileged user with access to critical data, which is the "crown jewels" of the organization. This data is on storage, so storage administration has critical privilege access that can cause major security breaches and jeopardize the safety of sensitive assets. Organizations must maintain tight control over whom they grant privileged identity status to for storage administration. Extra storage administration access must be shared with support and services teams when required. There also is a need to audit critical resource access that is required by compliance to standards and regulations. IBM® SecurityTM Verify Privilege Vault On-Premises (Verify Privilege Vault), formerly known as IBM SecurityTM Secret Server, is the next-generation privileged account management that integrates with IBM Storage to ensure that access to IBM Storage administration sessions is secure and monitored in real time with required recording for audit and compliance. Privilege access to storage administration sessions is centrally managed, and each session can be timebound with remote monitoring. You also can use remote termination and an approval workflow for the session. In this IBM Redpaper, we demonstrate the integration of IBM Spectrum® Scale and IBM Elastic Storage® Server (IBM ESS) with Verify Privilege Vault, and show how to use privileged access management (PAM) for secure storage administration. This paper is targeted at storage and security administrators, storage and security architects, and chief information security officers.
Privileged Access Management
Zero trust is a strategy that identifies critical, high-risk resources and greatly reduces the risk of a breach. Zero trust accomplishes this by leveraging key tools, technologies, and governance around Privileged Access Management (PAM). These identities and accounts that have elevated access are the key targets of the bad actors and nearly every event, breach, or incident that occurs is the result of a privileged account being broken into. Many organizations struggle to control these elevated accounts, what tools to pick, how to implement them correctly, and implement proper governance to ensure success in their zero trust strategy. This book defines a strategy for zero trust success that includes a privileged access strategy with key tactical decisions and actions to guarantee victory in the never-ending war against the bad actors. What You Will Learn: The foundations of Zero Trust security and Privileged Access Management. Tie-ins to the ZT strategy and discussions about successful implementation with strategy and governance. How to assess your security landscape including current state, risk-based gaps, tool and technology selection, and assessment output. A step-by-step strategy for Implementation, including planning, execution, governance, and root-cause analysis. Who This Book is for: C-level suite: not designed to be overly technical, but cover material enough to allow this level to be conversant in strategy and leadership needs to success. Director-level in Cyber and IT: this level of personnel are above the individual contributors (IC) and require the information in this book to translate the strategy goals set by C-suite and the tactics required for the ICs to implement and govern. GRC leaders and staff. Individual Contributors: while not designed to be a technical manual for engineering staff, it does provide a Rosetta Stone for themto understand how important strategy and governance are to their success.
