9 Password issues

10 Biggest incidents with passwords IRS Using apparently stolen credentials and knowledge-based authentication information VTech which reportedly used poor password security Ashley Madison ensnares 37 million cheaters could lead to a blackmail and espionage effort DoD Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) LastPass Kaspersky

11 How do they do it? Key loggers Password in wallets/browsers Written passwords Looking Hacking Phishing (on- & offline) Social engineering

12 Authentication Authentication today today Methods (examples) Events (examples) Hardware tokens (OTP, USB) Remote access (Radius, EAP,..) Smartphones (OOB, OATH) Access to workstations/user devices, Phones (voice, sms) Access to networks/to servers Access to Applications: Access cards (RFID, mifare, NFC) generic applications, Smart/PKI-cards Single Sign-on, Biometrics 2/3 factor (combinations) Social login Federated authentication Passwords/PIN-codes/Q&A FIDO U2F and more business applications Access to Cloud services/applications: Federation (SAML, OpenID, oauth) Pre-Federation (federation emulation) Business Authentication execution of transactions signing of transactions business data (storage) and more 12

13 Solution Let board create security policy, govern and enforce Create awareness Technical solutions

14 NetIQ Access Manager Access Management Layer Central point of access Transparent to end users Enforces authentication and authorization Web based Single Sign On Uses current infrastructure (ID Store) Scalable and customizable

15 Authentication Create Authentication methodstoday Methods (examples) Events (examples) Hardware tokens (OTP, USB) Remote access (Radius, EAP,..)

16 Strong authentication design Level 1: No authentication. Would be considered annoying Level 2: Simple Authentication (e.g. name pasword). The lack of strong authentication is not considered to be a risk. Identification adds positive contribution to user experience (personal pages) Level > 3: Strong authentication: Confidential, Financial Personal data Step up authentication

17 Strong authentication design Single Sign On Quick win Risks should be known. Needs policy Only after strong authentication Registered Identity

18 Even better : Multiple factor Something you know Something you have Something you are Factor 1: Something you know = Name / Password /PIN Universal password Password policy (And the nice add on's : PWD)

19 Second factor : Someting you have Returns One Time Password (OTP) or OAB Unique device Unique relation between user & device

20 Second factor : Someting you have Kerberos Certificates Smart Cards Proximity Cards

21 Third factor : Someting you are Extra hardware No go for non managed devices Popular for B2C & G2C

22 Do not forget the desktop Random passwords Cached logon Tap&Go 1:N PIN caching Actions of tapping a card NetIQ SSPR

23 User enrollment Must be easy Must be secure Must have validation

24 Different methods handles by the framework Step up authentication User enrollment
