By and large, individual malware strains come and go, but to stop attacks more quickly, organizations need to gain a deeper understanding of attack techniques. By analyzing the attack goals of attackers, organizations can better align their defenses to adapt to quickly changing attack techniques. FortiGuard Labs analyzed the functionality of detected malware by detonating the malware samples collected throughout the year. The result was a list of the individual tactics, techniques, and procedures the malware would have accomplished had the attack payloads been executed. The intelligence we gathered indicates that stopping an adversary earlier is critical. Understanding adversaries’ goals is crucial to defending against the flood of changing techniques they may use. By focusing on a few identified techniques, an organization could shut down a malware’s methods for attack entirely in some situations.

It doesn't matter how much security technology you have, how much you spend on security: security outcomes are achieved by doing all the little things right. You can spend $10M on network security technology from any vendor, but you will fail to effectively secure your enterprise if you don't properly manage the policy enforced by those firewalls. That sounds really simple, but simple doesn't scale. If you only have a few firewalls with policies consisting of tens of rules, it may be simple. But imagine an enterprise that has 2,000 firewalls, each firewall has a policy with an average of 500 rules, each rule has an average of 15 objects, each source and destination object represent an average of 50 IP addresses. This enterprise is managing, 2,000 firewalls, 1 million rules, 125 million connections, representing over 300 billion access paths. And just 1 wrong rule could expose the network to compromise.

Something is seriously wrong with our current approach to cybersecurity––the more we spend, the worse the situation becomes. In an industry plagued by a chronic talent shortage, one thing is clear: simply throwing another tool in the mix isn’t the path to better security. If we’re going to solve the security paradox, we’re going to need a cross-functional, in-depth analysis of the problem and a structured approach to fixing it. Michael McPherson joins Business Security Weekly to share tactical questions that security leaders can ask themselves and their teams in order to build a better overall approach to defense. In the Leadership and Communications section, 7 Pressing Cybersecurity Questions Boards Need to Ask, 7 mistakes CISOs make when presenting to the board (Let's see if those align), CISO Checklist for Offboarding Security Staff, and more!
