DOCUMENT #:GSC15-GTSC-07 FOR:Presentation SOURCE:ITU-T AGENDA ITEM:4.2 An overview of the Cybersecurity Information Exchange Framework CYBEX Jianyong CHEN SG 17 Vice Chairman Global Standards Collaboration (GSC) GSC-15

CYBEX Focus Contractual service agreements and federations Deny resources Intergovernment al agreements and cooperation Tort & indemnification Regulatory/ administrative law Criminal law Legal remedies may also institute protective measures Data retention and auditing Identity Management Forensics & heuristics analysis Provide data for analysis Encryption/ VPNs esp. for signalling Resilient infrastructure Routing & resource constraints Network/ application state & integrity Real-time data availability Measures for protection Measures for threat detection Blacklists & whitelists Vulnerability notices Investigation & measure initiation Measures for thwarting and other remedies Legal Remedies What cybersecurity model? Capabilities Supported Information exchange Provide basis for legal remedies Patch development Provide basis for actions Reputation sanctions Provide awareness of vulnerabilities and remedies 2

Cybersecurity Information acquisition (out of scope) Cybersecurity Entities Cybersecurity Information use (out of scope) Cybersecurity Entities The basic CYBEX model  structuring information  identifying and discovering objects  requesting and responding with information  exchanging information over networks  assured cybersecurity information exchanges 3

To whom and to what does CYBEX apply?  Because the CYBEX framework provides technology neutral information exchange specifications for cybersecurity, it can be applied by any system or product using a network any vendor, service provider, or network operator any agency or organization specifying, managing, or regulating the above  The specifications are especially relevant to Computer Incident Response Teams (CIRTS) that must exchange incident information Law enforcement authorities that must receive forensics Any entity that must deal with the above 4

Next Steps/Actions  Will provide three essential capabilities for any system or service: Determining cyber-integrity of systems and services in a measurable way Detecting and exchanging incident information to improve cyber-integrity Providing forensics, when necessary, to appropriate authorities  Includes Means for identifying, enumerating and exchanging knowledge about weaknesses, vulnerabilities, incidents Measurable assurance (trust) for information and parties involved  Extensible to any kinds of networks, services, or platforms – present and future Applicable to Clouds, Online Transaction Security, Smartgrids, eHealth, …  Open standards – most imported into ITU-T, published & maintained in multiple languages, and freely downloadable as X-series specifications  Excludes Specific implementations (i.e., CYBEX is technology neutral) How to implement  CYBEX Framework and some initial stable specifications ready by Dec 2010  Potentially ~20 additional in timeframe 8

Among them, X.1209 (X.sisfreq) and X Suppl.8 are planned to be approved and the five other Recommendations below are planned for determination in December 2010

Conclusions  Cybex can achieve enhanced cybersecurity and infrastructure protection, as well as accomplishing the principal functions performed by CIRTS and providing Law enforcement authorities.  Enable discovery, measurable assurance and enable exchange are three essential technical capabilities of Cybex.  GSC-15 should continue GSC14/11 Resolution with some necessary editorial updates
