How to Meet the Shared Responsibility Model with CIS

Read Time:3 Minute, 53 Second

In 2020, the shift to a global remote workforce demonstrated just how difficult securing a cloud environment can be. Now organizations face the challenge of securing hybrid environments. To address these challenges, many companies migrate to the cloud and leverage cloud service providers (CSPs) such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Oracle Cloud. These public cloud providers offer cost-effective, scalable cloud computing solutions.

Among the many benefits of operating on the public cloud, users share the security responsibilities with the CSP. Typically, the CSP is responsible for the physical security of the cloud infrastructure, while the customer is responsible for securing the services and/or applications they use. The division of these responsibilities is known as the shared responsibility model for cloud security.

Shared Responsibility Model Characteristics

Based on the type of cloud environment required by an organization, the delineation of security responsibilities will differ. Responsibilities vary according to the four main types of cloud environments:

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Function as a Service (FaaS)

Ultimately however, the protection of an organization’s data lies with the organization itself. That’s where the Center for Internet Security (CIS) can help. CIS strives to make the connected world a safer place by developing, validating, and promoting best practice solutions that help people, businesses, and governments protect themselves against pervasive cyber threats. Thus, our vision is to lead the global community to secure our ever-changing connected world. A portion of that is providing organizations with resources that can help them meet their part of the shared responsibility model for cloud security.

Cloud Security Resources Available from CIS

CIS works with a global community to develop three main security best practices that can help cloud consumers meet the shared responsibility model:

CIS Controls

A prioritized set of 20 actions that collectively form a defense-in-depth set of best practices. The CIS Controls are practical and prescriptive actions that organizations should take to prevent common cyber-attacks.

The CIS Controls Cloud Companion Guide is a free resource that can help users apply the CIS Controls in the cloud. Notably, the guide maps the CIS Controls to the four main types of cloud environments.

CIS Benchmarks

The CIS Benchmarks are configuration guidelines for technologies, operating systems, containers, and more. There are more than 100 CIS Benchmarks covering 25+ vendor product families.

In particular, the CIS Foundations Benchmarks provide prescriptive guidance for configuring, deploying, and securing services in public cloud environments. This resource can assist cloud users with the shared responsibility model, notably identity and access management. A free CIS Foundations Benchmark is available for the following cloud environments:

Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Microsoft Azure
Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Alibaba Cloud
IBM Cloud

CIS Hardened Images

Lastly, CIS Hardened Images are virtual machine images for operating systems, containers, and applications. They’re pre-configured to CIS Benchmark recommendations. Backed by a global community of cybersecurity experts and built off of the base image provided by CSPs, CIS Hardened Images seamlessly integrate into an organization’s security procedures. Because they’re an IaaS environment, CIS Hardened Images can help with the host infrastructure part of the shared responsibility model.

What’s more, CIS updates and patches these Hardened Images on a monthly basis to ensure the latest security configurations are in place. Every CIS Hardened Image includes a CIS-CAT Pro report showing conformance to the CIS Benchmark. It also includes an exception report showing configurations that cannot be applied in the cloud.

CIS Hardened Images are available on four major CSP marketplaces:

AWS Marketplace including AWS GovCloud (US) region
Microsoft Azure Marketplace including Azure Government
Google Cloud Platform Marketplace
Oracle Cloud Marketplace

CIS Shared Responsibility Model Resource

The shared responsibility model for cloud security provides clarity on security expectations for public cloud users. However, an understanding of the expectation is just the first step. Users must act on these responsibilities by creating policies and procedures for their portion of cloud security. In order to do this, cloud consumers should use cloud security tools and resources that directly address the needs of their cloud environment.

In sum, whether they’re used together or individually, CIS Controls, CIS Benchmarks, and CIS Hardened Images provide organizations operating in the cloud prescriptive guidance to secure their environments. They also help organizations conform to the shared responsibility model with ease. In this guide, we provide a deep dive into the shared responsibility model for cloud security, the division of user and CSP responsibilities, and how CIS resources help meet those responsibilities.

For Data Compliance, Automation is Key

Read Time:2 Minute, 41 Second

In this edition of Cybersecurity Where You Are, CIS Senior VP and Chief Evangelist, Tony Sager welcomes Thordis Thorsteins, Senior Data Scientist at Panaseer. Panaseer provides a controls monitoring platform and has played a valuable role in the development of the CIS Critical Security Controls, as well as the implementation of the CIS Controls Assessment Specification. Together, Tony and Thordis discuss the role that data collection and automation play in cybersecurity.

When It Comes to Data, More Doesn’t Always Mean Better

When it comes to cybersecurity, an enterprise must start by listing the assets it needs to protect, select controls to protect those assets, and institute a system to monitor those controls. Simple steps in theory – but complex and time consuming to implement in reality.

Examples of some types of data sources and tools include:

In-house vulnerability management tools
Patching tools
Phishing tools for employee training

By using a wide variety of sources, an enterprise can create a more expansive picture of its cybersecurity posture. The challenge with using all these data sources is that it creates an immense amount of data that need to be analyzed. This leads to what Sager refers to as “The Fog of More”. The collected data set is inevitably messy and noisy, and that creates an overwhelming task for teams to pore through and uncover any discrepancies.

Cybersecurity Frameworks are Open to Interpretation

The difficulty with cybersecurity frameworks is that they provide the criteria for compliance, yet no advice to implement the framework itself. This places the burden of interpreting the framework on the enterprise, making it difficult to measure compliance effectively. While frameworks are valuable, they can be interpreted by different enterprises in different ways. Then an auditor or governing body comes in and applies their own interpretation. This multitude of opinions makes it difficult to know when something is truly being done right.

Working with the Controls Assessment Specification

Panaseer was an early adopter of the Controls Assessment Specification and played an integral role in developing its components. It was created to provide a comprehensive list of specifications available to work against, as well as assessments to suit companies at different maturities. This allows for a more uniform system for compliance, with the goal of having enterprises improve their assessment and monitoring activities.

Automate for Success

The Controls Assessment Specification enables any sized enterprise to develop guidelines for viewing how it is measuring and monitoring their cybersecurity posture. The next step would be to identify opportunities to automate these activities. While some frameworks require a degree of self-attestation performed by a cybersecurity expert, frequent and repetitive requirements can be labor-intensive and costly. In addition to saving time and money, automation creates consistency by:

Enabling data to be measured the same way every time
Enabling the process to be clear for the person responsible for interpreting the outcomes
Creating a roadmap for anyone performing the assessment in the future
Driving consistency in how data is collected, analyzed, and interpreted

By continuing to find new and better ways for companies to automate their cybersecurity posture, compliance will become more achievable and interpretations of these frameworks will become more uniform.

Top 10 Malware October 2021

Read Time:4 Minute, 19 Second

In October 2021, the Top 10 stayed consistent with the previous month with the exception of GravityRAT which made its first appearance in the Top 10. GravityRAT is a RAT that affects Windows, MacOS, and Android. GravityRAT’s abilities include file exfiltration, remote command execution, keystroke logging. screenshot capture, and anti-analysis techniques. The Top 10 Malware variants comprise 71% of the total malware activity in October 2021, decreasing 3% from September 2021. Shlayer and CoinMiner continue to lead the Top 10 Malware and are likely to continue their prevalence in the Top 10 Malware for the coming months.

 

In October 2021, malvertisement accounted for the greatest number of alerts. Malvertisement continues as the top initial infection vector due to Shlayer activity. Activity levels for all initial infection vectors decreased. Shlayer and CoinMiner continue to be in the top two spots. The activity from these malware is due to the education sector resuming all activity as summer vacation ended. Shlayer is a downloader and dropper for MacOS malware. It is primarily distributed through malicious websites, hijacked domains, and malvertizing posing as a fake Adobe Flash updater. CoinMiner is a cryptocurrency miner that uses Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and EternalBlue to spread across a network. CoinMiner uses the WMI Standard Event Consumer scripting to execute scripts for persistence. CoinMiner spreads through malspam or is dropped by other malware.

 

 

Dropped – Malware delivered by other malware already on the system, an exploit kit, infected third-party software, or manually by a cyber threat actor. Jupyter the only malware dropped.

Multiple – Malware that currently favors at least two vectors. Currently, CoinMiner, CryptoWall, GravityRAT, Hupigon, and ZeuS  are the malware utilizing multiple vectors.

Malspam – Unsolicited emails, which either direct users to malicious web sites or trick users into downloading or opening malware. Top 10 Malware using this technique Agent Tesla, Blaknight, and NanoCore.

Malvertisement – Malware introduced through malicious advertisements. Currently, Shlayer is the only Top 10 Malware using this technique.

Top 10 Malware and IOCs

Below are the Top 10 Malware ranked in order of prevalence. The respective indicators of compromise (IOCs) are provided to aid in detecting and preventing infections from these Top 10 Malware variants. Note: The associated URIs are aligned with malware’s respective domain(s) or IP(s) and increase the likelihood of maliciousness when found together. The URIs alone are not inherently malicious.

1. Shlayer

Shlayer is a downloader and dropper for MacOS malware. It is primarily distributed through malicious websites, hijacked domains, and malvertizing posing as a fake Adobe Flash updater.

All Shlayer domains follow the same pattern . Below area several examples of domains Shlayer uses.

Cyber-Attack Defense: CIS Benchmarks + CDM + MITRE ATT&CK

Read Time:4 Minute, 3 Second

By Jennifer Jarose, CIS Cybersecurity Engineer, CIS Benchmarks

Six trillion dollars…that’s the amount global cybercrime is expected to cost this year, according to Cyber Security Ventures. The Center for Internet Security (CIS) is committed to validating our standards against recognized cyber defense frameworks in the hopes to help reduce this amount in the future. Starting today, with the CIS Microsoft Windows 10 Benchmark, the CIS Benchmarks will map to the MITRE Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge (ATT&CK®) framework and CIS Community Defense Model (CDM) 2.0. These mappings will improve the use, understanding, and effectiveness of the CIS Benchmarks, in turn strengthening security posture and providing more support to prevent top cyber-attacks.

CIS Benchmarks and CIS Community Defense Model

CIS Benchmarks are consensus-developed, industry best practices for securely configuring operating systems, cloud services, applications, networks, and more. A global community of information technology (IT) security professionals that range from academia, government, industry, and individuals drive the development and maintenance of the CIS Benchmarks. CIS relies on the contributions of passionate industry experts to create and maintain the CIS Benchmarks. Interested in contributing? Sign up for CIS WorkBench and join a community.

The CIS CDM v2.0 can be used to design, prioritize, implement, and improve an enterprise’s cybersecurity program. Enterprises naturally want to know, “how effective are the CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS Controls) against the top cyber-attacks?” The CDM can help answer that. This model leverages industry threat data to determine the top five cyber-attack types and creates comprehensive attack patterns (the set of attacker (sub-)techniques that are required to execute an attack). CDM v2 builds on the original version, by mapping the Safeguards from the CIS Controls v8 to the MITRE Enterprise ATT&CK® v8.2 framework. This methodology measures which Safeguards are most effective overall for defense across attack types.

Unifying the CIS Benchmarks, CDM, and MITRE ATT&CK Against Cyber-Attacks

To start these new mappings, CIS focused on two of the most downloaded CIS Benchmarks – Microsoft Windows 10 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 – and drilled in to MITRE ATT&CK (sub-)techniques. This level of granularity provides CIS Benchmarks users a more detailed look into the effectiveness of the CIS Benchmarks against the top five attack types found in the CIS CDM. Combining technology-specific, security focused configuration settings from the CIS Benchmarks, with the prioritized, enterprise cyber defense guidance from the CIS CDM allows users a more holistic view of their cybersecurity program.

With the addition of mapping the MITRE ATT&CK framework to the CIS Benchmarks, this highlights the effectiveness of the CIS Microsoft Windows 10 v1.11.0 Benchmark, not only as security focused configuration recommendations, but quantifies its ability to reduce the risk and impact of a range of cyber-attacks. Additionally, CIS SecureSuite Members can visit CIS WorkBench to view the MITRE ATT&CK framework mappings, which can be found in the Excel version of the Benchmarks. CIS will continue refining and expanding this methodology which will further support unification across other frameworks as CIS updates and expands the mappings offered.

CIS Benchmarks’ Effectiveness Against Common Cyber-Attacks

The following findings demonstrate the security value of the CIS Microsoft Windows 10 v1.11.0 Benchmark against the top five cyber-attack types found in the CIS CDM:

Malware: 67% of recommendations map to a parent or (sub-)technique
Ransomware: 74% of recommendations map to a parent or (sub-)technique
Web Application Hacking: 41% of recommendations map to a parent or (sub-)technique
Insider and Privilege Misuse: 64% of recommendations map to a parent or (sub-)technique
Targeted Intrusion: 59% of recommendations map to a parent or (sub-)technique
Combined Attack Types: 83% of recommendations map to a parent or (sub-)technique when the above attack types are combined

The CIS Microsoft Windows 10 v1.11.0 Benchmark incorporates all parents of (sub-)techniques mapped to a given recommendation. In addition, the Microsoft Windows 10 v1.11.0 Benchmark is mapped to a subset of techniques within the Community Defense Model as a number of them do not apply to the Windows operating system.

When a Benchmark recommendation maps to a given parent or (sub-)technique it means that the given recommendation potentially mitigates, or disrupts, that step in a cyber-attack.

This effort is ongoing to further support unity of CIS resources with industry frameworks. CIS is currently working to expand MITRE ATT&CK mappings to our catalog of technology specific CIS Benchmarks, starting with the most commonly used. Next up is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Stay tuned for an even more detailed report on the effectiveness of the Microsoft Windows 10 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux mappings to the Community Defense Model’s top five cyber-attack types.

Read Time:4 Minute, 13 Second

This year, Amazon Web Services (AWS) returns to hosting its cloud computing conference, AWS re:Invent 2021, in person. Cloud professionals from around the globe will gather in Las Vegas to learn the latest news in AWS cloud computing. The five-day conference is packed with sessions on containers, DevOps, end user computing, IoT, and much more.

The Center for Internet Security (CIS) is a proud sponsor of AWS re:Invent, which will be held November 29 – December 3. Find us at Booth #732 on the Expo Floor at The Venetian. Not only is CIS sponsoring the event, but we’ve also highlighted several must-see sessions that leverage our best practices.

AWS re:Invent 2021 Essential Sessions

Workshop | WPS203 – Simplifying compliance with AWS GovCloud (US)

Tuesday, November 30 | 5:00 – 7:15 P.M.

AWS GovCloud (US) gives customers the flexibility to architect secure cloud workloads that comply with some of the strictest U.S. compliance regulations. From Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive patient medical records, and financial data to law enforcement data and export-controlled data, AWS GovCloud (US) can help address some of the most stringent security and compliance requirements. Join this workshop to dive into the basics of how AWS and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions can help address these stringent security, compliance, and governance requirements.

Furthermore, CIS offers CIS Hardened Images, pre-hardened virtual machine (VM) images, a trusted resource to help secure cloud workloads on AWS Cloud in the AWS GovCloud (US) Region. They’re available for Windows and Linux operating systems.

Chalk Talk | SEC312 – Develop a strategy for automated remediation and response

Wednesday, December 1 | 12:15 – 1:15 P.M.

In this chalk talk, you’ll consider a framework to use with AWS Security Hub to determine which findings should be auto-remediated. For example, the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark is available within AWS Security Hub. This framework provides recommendations to securely configure your AWS account. It covers actions like identity and access management, networking, and more.

This session will explore whether a remediation is a destructive action and how to tag findings to automate these decisions. When auto-remediation isn’t appropriate or should include approvals, learn how to auto-respond to findings. You’ll learn how to enrich these findings with assignee information based on resource tags; you can then use that assignee information in email, Slack, or ticket notifications.

Chalk Talk | SEC305 – Automate vulnerability management with Amazon Inspector

Thursday, December 2 | 11:30 A.M. – 12:30 P.M.

Amazon Inspector is a vulnerability management service that scans AWS workloads for software vulnerabilities and unintended network exposure. In this chalk talk, learn how to get the most out of Amazon Inspector. This includes how to prioritize the most critical vulnerabilities to help increase remediation response efficiency.

Windows and Linux users can apply the knowledge from this session and run assessments to check the configurations of their Amazon EC2 instances against CIS Benchmarks. The findings within the Amazon Inspector assessment will detail the steps needed to remediate vulnerabilities.

From the CIS Booth: New CIS AWS Resources to Secure Cloud Workloads

Foundational Security for AWS

CIS Benchmarks are a set of prescriptive guides to help organizations securely configure a variety of technologies. They cover more than 25 vendor product families, helping to safeguard systems against today’s evolving cyber threats. Because of CIS’s deep partnership with AWS, CIS Benchmarks are integrated with several AWS services:

AWS Audit Manager
AWS Config
AWS Inspector
AWS Security Hub

These integrations allow AWS customers to audit and test the security of their AWS environments against CIS Benchmarks. Within these four AWS services, cloud consumers will find the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark and CIS Benchmarks for various operating systems.
