Tabula Rosa Product Of The Day - Attivo Networks BOTsink™ System Detects and Engages APTs and BOTs




Attivo Networks BOTsink™ System
Detects and Engages APTs and BOTs

Attivo introduces a new paradigm in security that complements and augments your existing security infrastructure—our technology lures, detects, engages, and analyzes APT and BOT attacks on your network.

Attivo’s BOTsink 2500 is an on-premise and in-cloud APT and BOT security appliance/VM designed to augment your existing security systems. The Attivo BOTsink System securely engages APTs and BOTs as they begin scanning network clients, servers, and services and then traps their activity in a secure sandbox. Once contained, the APTs and BOTs will not be able to communicate either within your network or outside your firewall. Instead, the Attivo BOTsink System captures and catalogues all attempted communications and propagation activity for future forensic using our patented Multi-Dimensional Correlation Engine.

Captures All BOT and APT Activity
BOTsinks are deployed on any subnet that has high value systems targeted by BOTs and APTs for IP and data theft or hosts BYODs. Typically deployed next to VPN gateway, client and server subnets - increasing detection velocity and minimizing the chances of cross contamination and contagion. Begin capturing BOT activity by assigning unused IP addresses to the BOTsink and add it to the network. The BOTsink identifies infected hosts mounting attacks, reports the time, type and anatomy of the attack to enable immediate remedial action, and gives visibility into the life cycle of the BOT. The BOTsink 2500 emulates the most common attacked network services and hosts up to 1,020 IP addresses to quickly attract and identify BOTs.

Tabula Rosa Systems Tehnical Term Of The Day - Evil Twin - Do You Know What It Is?





 EVIL TWIN Definition In IT Security
An evil twin, in security, is a rogue wireless access point that masquerades as a legitimate Wi-Fi access point so that an attacker can gather personal or corporate information without the end-user's knowledge.Top of Form
An attacker can easily create an evil twin with a smartphone or other Internet-capable device and some easily-available software. The attacker positions himself in the vicinity of a legitimate hot spot and lets his device discover what service set identifier (name) and radio frequency the legitimate access point uses. He then sends out his own radio signal, using the same name as the legitimate access point.
To the end-user, the evil twin looks like a hot spot with a very strong signal; that's because the attacker has not only used the same network name and settings as the "good twin" he is impersonating, he has also physically positioned himself near the end-user so that his signal is likely to be the strongest within range. If the end-user is tempted by the strong signal and connects manually to the evil twin to access the Internet, or if the end-user's computer automatically chooses that connection because it is running in promiscuous mode, the evil twin becomes the end-user's Internet access point, giving the attacker the ability to intercept sensitive data such as passwords or credit card information.
Evil twins are not a new phenomenon in wireless transmission. Historically they have been called base station clones or honeypots. What's different now is that more businesses and consumers are using wireless devices in public places and it's easier than ever for someone who doesn't have any technical expertise to create an evil twin. To avoid evil twin network connections, end users should only use public hot spots for Web browsing and refrain from online shopping or banking. To protect corporate data, employees who use wireless devices should always connect to the Internet through a VPN.

Tabula Rosa Quote Of The Day - Via Gandhi



 Yesterday's blog of the day was about humiliation on-line. Although some acts do warrant disclosure and censure, many times these go way too far in terms of Netiquette. There is much to be said about cyber mob behavior and before a person participated in this activity, it would be wise to consideration the wonderful quote below!
====================================== 
“It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honoured by the humiliation of their fellow beings.”
Mahatma Gandhi
