1 Public-Facing Websites: A Loaded Gun Pointing at Customers, Partners and Employees The Importance of Incorporating Digital Property Security Into Your IT Strategy
2 Public-Facing Websites: A Loaded Gun Pointing at Customers, Partners and Employees The Importance of Incorporating Digital Property Security Into Your IT Strategy In today s technology-oriented world, websites and mobile apps play a vital role in day-to-day business operations from product and service education to customer loyalty programs to actual sales transactions while also functioning as a mission-critical branding vehicle. So, it goes without saying that no organization can survive without a comprehensive digital presence. At the same time, an organization with a public-facing website has a responsibility to ensure a completely safe browsing experience for every single individual visiting its site customers, partners and employees. Yet when asked, less than 32% of IT leaders claimed responsibility for providing this level of protection to their website visitors. Degree to which IT professionals feel responsible for individuals visiting the company s public-facing digital properties Responsibility for Protecting Frequenters of Company Websites ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE RESPONSIBLE SOMEWHAT RESPONSIBLE NOT VERY RESPONSIBLE NOT AT ALL RESPONSIBLE CONSUMERS 27% CLIENTS 32% EMPLOYEES 32% % This finding, along with others from a recent IDG Research poll, sponsored by The Media Trust, clearly indicates IT leaders remain unaware of the risks posed by their public-facing web properties as well as the need to make risk mitigation a priority. IT leaders that don t 1
3 Public-Facing Websites: A Loaded Gun Pointing at Customers, Partners and Employees recognize and address the inherent risks that exist in today s multimedia websites unknowingly create a gaping hole in their IT security strategies. As a result, their websites become loaded guns pointing straight at consumers. The proverbial bullet is malware. An organization has a responsibility to ensure a completely safe browsing experience for every single Understanding the Risks of a Website s Third-Party Code individual visiting its site. Gone are the days of HTML web pages that serve static text and photographs. Today s dynamic websites create highly interactive experiences in which users consume multimedia content and, in some cases, even create and contribute their own. Third-party vendors make this high degree of interactivity possible. The list goes on and on, but a few examples of the third-party service providers used to render a typical website include marketing and data analytics, video, product reviews, polls, content or product recommendations, social media tools and advertising placements. While these third-party providers significantly improve the end user experience, elevate visitors level of engagement and generate valuable visitor behavior data, their presence on a website also presents a significant business risk. To provide their service, each third-party vendor delivers a small piece of its own source code to the website that executes as the site renders the requested page in the end user s browser. This execution calls content from sources third, fourth and sometimes fifth parties that reside outside your website operation. And, these sources are frequently overlooked from a security perspective and therefore easily targeted for abuse. If compromised by malware, this third-party code negatively impacts the user experience in a myriad of ways, including the automatic redirection of the browser to another site, the downloading of harmful exploit kits and the theft of credit card numbers and personal contact information. Compromised third-party code can also damage a company s brand. A dissatisfied customer may not return to the site; even worse, this individual may share how your website infected them with malware on social networks where such reviews can be devastating. Even more severe brand damage can occur if the malware leverages the third-party code to deface the company s website. Such defacement immediately proves to every customer, employee The perception of and partner visiting the site that the company cannot protect ineffective website its digital properties and those who visit them from webbased malware. Taking it one step further, the perception of security can bleed into ineffective website security can bleed into other aspects such as product quality or customer service. other aspects such Finally, malware-infected third-party code executing on a as product quality or corporate website increases an organization s liability exposure. customer service. If this code enables financial fraud or results in the loss of customers personally identifiable information, companies can be held accountable for failing to demonstrate due care standard or conduct due diligence. Obviously, being the object of such a lawsuit not only costs time and money, but also results in significant loss of brand equity, not to mention sales. Unfortunately, most IT strategies and the associated governance framework do not adequately address the risk posed by third-party code executing on a company s website, leaving both the company and its customers vulnerable. Companies fail to understand these risks nor take the necessary mitigation measures (see sidebar). 2
4 20 23% 12% 6% 4% 6% 0 VERY SOMEWHAT NOT VERY NOT AT ALL NEVER THOUGHT OF IT Public-Facing Websites: A Loaded Gun Pointing at Customers, Partners and Employees To be fair, IT leaders have some awareness of the problem. Nearly three-quarters of IT leaders surveyed for the IDG Research poll worry about how to secure third-party code executing on their public-facing digital properties. Level of concern regarding third-party content executing on public-facing digital properties Security Concerns Over Third-Party Content on Public-Facing Digital Properties 72% 49% 23% 12% 6% 4% 6% VERY SOMEWHAT NOT VERY NOT AT ALL NEVER THOUGHT OF IT However, when further questioned, it becomes evident that IT leaders severely underestimate this problem, because only 56% of respondents continuously monitor their websites and third-party content. Another case in point: on average, respondents report that an average of 34 external vendors execute code on their company s consumer-facing website. That may sound like a lot, but in reality the problem is much larger. The actual amount of third-party code on public-facing IT leaders severely underestimate websites is often double or triple what most IT leaders this problem, because only 56% estimate. In fact, a whopping 78% of the code 1 detected on Fortune 1000 websites is from third parties. The bottom line of respondents continuously is that every additional instance of external code increases monitor their websites and both the company and its users risk for malware to infiltrate the site and users browsers. third-party content. Mitigating the Risk of Third-Party Content While it s impossible to eliminate the risk posed by third-party web content without completely prohibiting their use, it can be mitigated. To do so, companies must view the third-party code executing on their sites and in their apps as points of vulnerability and actively address these weaknesses in their IT strategy by prioritizing investments in risk mitigation controls. For years companies have scanned for website vulnerability, however, this scanning only encompassed the code used to build the website and rarely, if ever, examined and tracked third-party code because it resided outside of the corporate infrastructure. An emerging best practice the 24/7 monitoring of all third-party code, content and cookies executing on a site is gaining traction to fill this security gap. Effective website security governance calls for constant monitoring and immediate notification and alerting of suspicious or malicious code so IT can instantly block and remove malicious 3
5 Public-Facing Websites: A Loaded Gun Pointing at Customers, Partners and Employees content from their digital properties before it propagates. This An emerging best practice is global, is no easy feat. Malware actors target select OS, browser, 24/7 monitoring of all third-party geography and behavior profile combinations for their attacks for the purpose of evading traditional antivirus and filtering code, content and cookies executing techniques. And the sheer amount of third-party code on any single web page and the need to correlate events to determine on a site. whether any of the activity is malware related makes it nearly impossible for humans to actively monitor the code and successfully shut down malware before it attacks and causes significant harm. Conclusion Enterprise IT governance traditionally addresses security from an internal infrastructure point-of-view, focusing only on the network, gateway, firewall, end point and device perspective, but this approach leaves a gaping hole through which malware can and does attack with great ease and frequency. With the spate of malware infections, it s apparent that traditional tactics aren t working for website security. IT leaders must view their organization s website in its entirety, including the critical juncture where the website s external layer also known as the end user s experience interacts with the end user s browser. Failing to do so exposes valuable critical corporate assets: the customer and corporate brand. IT leaders must make website security a key component of their IT strategy. Only through continuous monitoring of third-party code on public-facing digital properties can you ensure a malware-loaded gun isn t pointing at customers, partners and employees. The risk of not doing so simply isn t an option. SIDEBAR: The Syrian Electronic Army s Thanksgiving Attack illustrates the dangers of third-party code Early Thanksgiving morning 2014 the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) attacked a wide variety of media websites, including large-volume digital publishers like The New York Times, The Boston Globe and retailers like Office Depot. Benign in nature, this attack consisted of compromising the user experience by directing all visitors to a popup screen containing an SEA propaganda message and logo. The attack was possible because of a vulnerability traced to Gigya, which provides a customer management platform to more than 700 leading brands. This particular attack occurred because the SEA identified a vulnerability at GoDaddy, which hosts gigya.com s DNS server. It was through this vulnerability that the SEA gained access to the GoDaddy servers and redirected Gigya s Internet traffic to servers at imgur.com, a popular image hosting site, which downloaded an SEA-written JavaScript file called socialize.js to any site visitor attempting to the load the page. It was this file that displayed the SEA s message and logo. This attack is an excellent example of how the presence of third-party code the gigya.com domain executing on any of the impacted media sites inadvertently enabled a wide-spread malware attack, impacting hundreds of thousands of people within hours analysis of the Fortune 1000 public-facing websites conducted by The Media Trust. 4
