7 The Problem: Internet = a hostile network like the wild-west WITHOUT a sheriff! Page 7

8 Cyber Security Risks comes from: Page 8

9 Cyber Security Risks Types: Page 9

10 Some Today s Alerting Facts (1/2) : Statistics as of 21 Jan DNS, a concrete long belief of Internet Security backbone, have sever flaws. In April 2009, The Internet was about to shut down due to that. Thanks to Dan Kaminsky. Despite DNS being deployed for a decade so far, 80% of global Government Web Sites miss-configure DNS Security! For Private.COM, the related skills are badly needed. DNSSEC (The ONLY viable Solution to DNS threats), is rarely deployed on Country- Level Domains and postponed for Top-Level Domains to end 2010 / Early 2011, as hoped! ( Please see my accompanied DNSSEC Slides). Companies fight ENDLESS war against computer Attacks, as Hackers are getting stronger with sophisticated composite means. They started to use a technique which leave NO trace to follow. Also, whenever an adaptive standardized protection scheme is used by many, the Attacks become more probable! A continuous changes in the Threat schemes. For e.g. DDoS (Distributed Denial of Services) Attacks are back stronger & diverse With Facbook ( & other Social Networking's Sites), the problem get worse where personal data are susceptible to fraud. Page 10

11 Some Today s Alerting Facts (2/2) : Statistics as of 21 Jan Conficker Worm ( which constituted 78% of Internet attacks in 2009) hasn't gone away. It is a foreseen Ghost for Security professionals! Infections of BotNet (Hackers Networks) is increasing with new generations of Zombies with an estimate of a globally distributed Million. They create underground channels. 80% of 1.5 Trillion daily s (worldwide) = Spam + Worms + Viruses + Malware + Spyware, etc! The International Security Defenders keep learning & sharing from a lower ground, while the Attackers keep Coordinated Aggregated Attacks while standing on a higher ground easily! With Cloud Computing adopted gradually & emerging, your data need be concretely protected. With more Wireless Communications deployments, Attacks are getting much easier to its protocols. Page 11

12 What to do when you know the following facts : Every 20 Minutes of any Attack, needs a 36 Hours of analysis ONLY by the best internationally-recognized security experts! When Attack analysis is done, and prepare the counter-measures launching, the Attack method most probably will be changed by Attackers! The current Internet is facing 2 Major flaw issues (Security-Wise): 1. A close depletion (ONLY 9% left on a global level) of current version (IPv4) Internet Operational Protocol. The complete depletion will be somewhere in time between as expected. IPv6 is the ONLY coming solution for IPv4 Scarcity & Security, especially with gradually converged worlds of Telecommunications + Internet. 2. Hijacking of DNS. DNSSEC is the ONLY way ahead. While other countries (USA, EU, China, South East Asia, Latin America) started rushing to overcome (1) & (2), by deploying IPv6 & DNSSEC gradually, our region is still in the baby steps ONLY of related awareness! ONLY Africa is behind us! Page 12

13 ONLY 9% of useable IPv4 address spaces are available Page 13

14 Know your enemy: Attacks Strategy Step1: Disorganizer disrupt transportation networks. Railway, air control, road light traffic, communication networks Step 2: Attacks against the financial systems and against the communications networks. Stock market exchange, telephone networks Step 3: Attacks against resources and services distribution. Water supply, gas distribution, nuclear plants, electricity Hint 1: Did you know that the Internet Revolution have NOT started yet! With Internet 2, IPv6, NGN & Mobile-Internet Convergence SOON AHEAD, are you ready & prepared for what the new Attacks could be? Hint 2 : The power of a country lies in its ability to impose Security Standards + Promptly Receptive to Counter-Measures Reactions. Page 14

15 Cyber Security Challenges ( 1 / 3) Better security strategies & policies Better legal framework & regulations Better systems & processes Better technologies & tools Better skills Better cooperation & networks Better awareness Better Working Together Page 15

16 Cyber Security Challenges ( 2 / 3) The main challenge for national criminal legal systems is the delay between the recognition of potential abuses of new technologies & necessary amendments to the national criminal law. Law-Makers must continuously respond promptly to Internet developments & monitor the effectiveness of existing provisions Specific departments are needed within national law enforcement agencies, which are qualified to investigate potential Cyber Crimes: Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) Computer Incident Response Teams, (CIRTs) Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) The identification of gaps in the penal code. What is considered as an ICT crime in any country, may NOT in another. WITHOUT the international harmonization of national criminal legal provisions, the fight against Trans-National Cyber Crimes run into incompatible national legislations. Developing the right procedures for collecting, analyzing & law-effecting the Digital Evidence Page 16

17 Cyber Security Challenges ( 3 / 3) Enhancing & Regulating the E-Signature Law Page 17

18 Cyber Security Challenges : Legal System ( 1 / 2) There is NO out-of-the-box solution Page 18

19 Cyber Security Challenges : Legal System ( 2 / 2) Page 19

20 Our Cyber Security Objectives: Strategy (1 / 2) The main challenge for our region is finding the Response Strategies & Solutions to the Cyber Crimes threats. It s time for A comprehensive Anti-Cyber Crime Strategy Define & implement the related Technical Measures & Safeguards Any Cyber Security Roadmap must address: A developmental issue because ICT services need secure and reliable networks An economic issue relating to maintaining business continuity & Disaster Recovery A law and enforcement issue to deal with Cyber Crime & criminalizing the misuse of ICTs, A national security issue relating to Critical Information Infrastructure Protection (CIIP). Page 20

21 Our Cyber Security Objectives: Strategy (2 / 2) Identify Government + National participants in Cyber Security CIIP: 1. Identify the ministry/agency. 2. Describe its role(s) in the development of policy & in operations of Cyber Security CIIP related to the economy, national security, & social interaction. 3. Identify a point of contact for each entity & for each significant role. Include private sector perspectives in all stages of the development & implementation of Cyber Security CIIP policy. Establish cooperative arrangements between government & private sector for information sharing & incident management. Identify agency to provide the incident management capability function for watch, warning, response and recovery. Develop procedures & tools for incident management information. Assess and periodically reassess Page 21

22 Our Cyber Security Objectives: Cyber Culture Promotion (1/4) Awareness, Education & Training: Invest + Invest + Invest Collaborative Responsibility: Posters, Tool Kits, etc Response: Ready Security + Forensics Teams Ethics: Conduct of Use, User Acceptable Policy UAP, etc Risk Assessment: Penetration Testing's, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities, etc Security Design, Management & Implementation: Policies, Technical Standards, Operational Roadmaps, Who is doing What, Access Control, IT Audit, etc Scheduled Monitor & Verifications Page 22

23 Our Cyber Security Objectives: Cyber Culture Promotion (2/4) The Risks Management Cycle Page 23

24 Our Cyber Security Objectives: Cyber Culture Promotion (3/4) The Defense In-Depth Approach: Protect All Net Layers Page 24

25 Our Cyber Security Objectives: Cyber Culture Promotion (4/4) The Patch Management Scenario : Protect All Systems Page 25

26 So: What Are Our Priorities? (1) An Eye on the World: Beware closely of What s Happening internationally on Technical, Policies, Implementations & Deployments Tracks: IPv6, DNSSEC, Cyber Agendas, Security Advances, See how related International Expertise is reacting towards needs Domestic problems are linked to other parts of the world With the rapid development of globalization, predicting international instability & achieving, then international security are becoming increasingly difficult. NO country can act alone Transfer International expertise to our region as appropriate. Page 26

27 So: What Are Our Priorities? (2) A 2 nd Eye locally: Attract attention and commitment from Government (politics) & Administration on Information Security Support Administration actions when building capability Create a structured market for professionals & industry The Up-Bottom change scheme, in our region, have the fastest track. Local Governments Policy Makers & Decision Makers are the 1 st target to be approached. Start small locally and then grow regionally. When Governments Potentials take the lead, things will go smother & faster. Lobby a campaign of multi-stakeholders for awareness, study groups, etc See what local Cyber Security Models do exists, What Works? Coordinate Regional Collaborations. Integration is better than Differentiation. Defragmentation is the current scenery! Page 27

28 Our Cyber Security Tasks Sets : (1) General Develop guidelines, planning tools & manuals on Cyber Security technology / policy aspects Develop Local Cyber Security toolkits for policy-makers and other relevant sectors. Develop training materials on technology strategies & technology evolution for the implementation of Cyber Security. Organize workshops, meetings and seminars to address technical, policy, legal and strategy issues for Cyber Security Provide assistance in developing laws & model legislation for Cyber Security prevention Identify Cyber Security requirements and propose solutions for the development of secure ICT applications. Assist in raising awareness and identify key issues to support a culture of Cyber Security, and recommend models of good practice to support ICT applications and minimize Cyber Threats Develop tools to facilitate information sharing on technology and policy issues, and on best practices relating to Cyber Security Page 28

29 Our Security Tasks Sets : (2) Establish Work Groups WG Goal Standards Legal Education & Research CERT Awareness Agency Page 29 Description Define a list of Information Security Standards to be adopted by the Administration Support creating a Information Security System scheme Support the experts representing the all international standardization bodies Identify the weaknesses in legal context Propose necessary evolution to appropriate actors Education = Propose a common official program for universities & High Schools (+ secondary schools) Research = coordinate the activities Establish A country Computer Emergency Response Team Identify audience and messages Prepare and launch campaigns Help creating a country Information Security Agency to provide strategy and coordination
