This document discusses reducing ransomware risks and provides an overview of a webinar on the topic. It begins with a poll asking organizations about their experience with ransomware attacks. It then introduces the speakers and discusses malware trends seen by Cisco Talos, including the continued prevalence of ransomware. The webinar agenda is outlined, covering malware trends, what ransomware is, high-level solutions, and next steps. High-level solutions include blocking malicious traffic, securing email, using endpoint protection, and network segmentation. The presentation encourages education, making lateral movement difficult through segmentation, and having response plans. It concludes with an additional poll and information on following up.

- 21. HOW? 1. Deliver exploits to 1st victim computer 2. Repeat per victim computer: • Encrypt file system • Encrypt accessible networked file shares • Move laterally: explore the network • Deliver exploits to next victim via network 3. Wait for victim to call 4. Collect ransom 5. Supply decryption key “Advanced Persistent Threat”, Wikipedia
- 22. 1ST VICTIM: ATTACK TECHNIQUES (PARTIAL LIST) • Email attachment • Send a malicious email attachment • Browser Drive-By-Download • Host the malicious content on a website • “Water-hole” technique • Compromise a website the victim likely to visit • Social Engineering • Fool someone to do it for you • Mobile malware • Spread a malicious mobile application
- 23. EXPLORE THE COMPROMISED NETWORK • Encrypting network shares: →Requires network access from victim to file system →Produces (unusual) network traffic • Move Laterally: • Find more devices, gain more access, encrypt more interesting data →Requires network access from victim1 to victim2 to … →Produces (unusual) network traffic

- 30. THE FIRST STEP IS THE HARDEST Financial Database HVAC Control Partner Network Procurement Department Internet • Most ingenious step (social engineering, clever technical exploit delivery, …) • Much of the attack is happening outside of your control • Requires fancy defense technologies to mitigate
- 31. RECOMMENDATION #1: EDUCATION • Educate you employees to identify malicious actors as we’ve mentioned earlier • Equip your self with tool that can help with these type of attack (hard to find good tools)
- 32. MAKE LATERAL STEPS HARDER FOR ATTACKER! Financial Database HVAC Control Partner Network Procurement Department Internet Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
- 33. LATERAL STEPS • The attacker is now on your turf • Use your advantages: • Control your network • Know what traffic is usual and what is not
- 34. UNUSUAL – IN THE USUAL WAYS • Lateral traffic is unusual – in the usual ways • Communicating parties that never communicate • Protocols & ports that are never used across security zones • Firewalls are really good at blocking such traffic … as long as: • There are firewalls in the traffic path • The firewalls are properly configured
- 35. RECOMMENDATION #2: SEGMENTATION • Define network zones • Place firewalls to filter traffic between zones • Write restrictive policies for traffic between zones
- 36. USE TECHNOLOGY YOU KNOW WELL Financial Database HVAC Control Partner Network Procurement Department Internet
- 37. SEGMENT THE NETWORK: INTERNAL FIREWALLS Financial Database HVAC Control Partner Network Procurement Department Internet • Place internal firewalls between network zones • Use SDN virtualization technologies to filter traffic inside data center
- 38. RECOMMENDATION #3: PLAN • Leverage a SIEM technology to quickly identify an attack is happening • Create a playbook in your SOAR system with well defined step to stop the attack • Create a playbook in your NSPM to quickly isolate the infected server
- 39. Have you already started a micro-segmentation project in your organization? • Yes, we’ve completed our micro-segmentation project • Yes, we are currently in the midst of a micro-segmentation project • No, but it is in our roadmap • No, and we don’t plan to in the near future 39 | Confidential POLL
