Session 4.2 Creation of national ICT security infrastructure for developing countries Industry-wide approach: Raising awareness for ICT security infrastructure Miho Naganuma Little eArth Corporation Rapporteur Q3/17 Information Security Operators Group Japan (ISOG-J) 2 Addressing security challenges on a global scaleGeneva, 6-7 December 2010

Issues in Cybersecurity Together with rapid growth of economies, multi- rateral business relations are expanding and connected. Meanwhile, it also raises issues for the necessity of secure network infrastructures with sophisticated cybersecurity services. 3 Geneva, 6-7 December 2010Addressing security challenges on a global scale We are facing an urgent crisis in a continuing effort to raise awareness of cybersecurity  incident response planning against DDoS attacks, targeted attacks including Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attacks with practice-based information  fast development of technologies for countermeasures

Issues in Cybersecurity (cont.) Key issue : Information exchange  Cybersecurity information exchange and technical collaboration  Wide range of collaboration – International, regional, national level and industry level 4 Geneva, 6-7 December 2010Addressing security challenges on a global scale Developing international recommendation/ standards in Cybersecurity and information exchange industry-wide/unique collaboration by Managed Security Service Providers

Organisation 6 Geneva, 6-7 December 2010Addressing security challenges on a global scale Active involvement of related parties Government support New WG: Security Operation Information sharing and collaboration

Members organisations

Security Operation information sharing and collaboration WG Seeking “effective” information sharing and collaboration by  Providing information and analysis methodologies  Review actions with management view  Support actions with research view  Involving SOC Operators/Analyst, specialist for process management etc. Information transmission enjoying the nature of neutrality Consideration on the requirements for cybersecurity operation collaboration  Obstacles toward the collaboration  Criteria of collaborating operations / sharing information  Actions to conquer the obstacles 8 Geneva, 6-7 December 2010Addressing security challenges on a global scale

Obstacles for information sharing Differences between free-of-charge information and charged one Differences between contracted users and non- contracted ones Disadvantageous to offer information first? Difficulties to provide information even if the information is wanted Difficulties to acquire information due to separation of operational unit 9 Geneva, 6-7 December 2010Addressing security challenges on a global scale

Case 1 Failed to re-utilise the collected information  Failed to find the reason to share the information  Lack of sense of purpose to continue the sharing  Trap of money as a purpose  the information sharing will be terminated when the monetary relationship terminated Failed to invoke any meaningful actions after gaining some information from the logs of the other companies  Value of Information possess 10 Geneva, 6-7 December 2010Addressing security challenges on a global scale

Case 2 Collaboration based on personal relationship disappears when the person moves to the other place  The information sharing is difficult if the boss/supervisor is not supportive to the activities  It is difficult to advance the collaboration actively if we cannot get any useful feedback for our customers  When the person in charge move to different department, the hand-over procedure is not good enough  If sharing information itself becomes the objective, the motivation of the operators at field will drop 11 Geneva, 6-7 December 2010Addressing security challenges on a global scale

Other obstacles Different view of Technologies, and operations among organizations  best to start from information sharing  collaboration will be next step Internal relations vs External relations Reluctant feeling to share information in Security-industry Question what kind of information we want to share Support from management level and department heads.  How does the information sharing and collaboration lead to the profit of the company?  Merit for each organization need to be considered 12 Geneva, 6-7 December 2010Addressing security challenges on a global scale

Advantage of information sharing in ISOG-J Members can  issue incident information with the name of ISOG-J  use both individual company name and ISOG-J name when disclosing information depending on the situation  share the practices of certain incidents among members  share some trend information or some notes on that instead of cybersecurity information itself By disclosing information periodically from ISOG-J such information becomes a reference source From the viewpoint of education, it is beneficial to analyze detection information over certain network collaboratively is a good first step 13 Geneva, 6-7 December 2010Addressing security challenges on a global scale

Candidate solutions 1.Issuing threat analysis document for management figures  Information on what kind of threats against IT system we have, and what kind of business continuity risk they pose 2.Starting with sharing statistical information on logs of IDS/IPS, NW appliances, servers etc.  Objective of sharing information and collaboration  Policy of the data handling  Manipulate the log so that sensitive information can be hidden (such as user name)  Log information sharing scheme  Standard log format  With considering how we can take best advantage of the log data of each company 14 Geneva, 6-7 December 2010Addressing security challenges on a global scale

Candidate solutions 3.Quantative information of incidents that are detected  Gather incident information collected by SOCs  Member organisations get access to the information 4.Sharing Meta information instead of raw data  Sensitive information including threads information that is difficult to be disclosed can be shared  General information can be shared to customers 15 Geneva, 6-7 December 2010Addressing security challenges on a global scale

Highlights for raising awareness Industry–wide approach  Involving related parties for ICT infrastructure security (Gov, Gov. agencies, CIRT, ISP, MSSP, Security Vendors etc.)  “Neutral” organisation/association Communication in industries  Encourage bottom-up approach  Analyse obstacles and make feasible scenarios and candidate solutions  Communication as education 16 Geneva, 6-7 December 2010Addressing security challenges on a global scale
