CISA, NSA Guidance Tries to Reduce Alternatives for Securing Industrial Control Systems
https://www.nextgov.com/cybersecurity/2022/09/cisa-nsa-guidance-tries-reduce-alternatives-securing-industrial-control-systems/377612/
Excerpt:
CISA is expected to release the final performance goals sometime in October to mark Cybersecurity Awareness month.
============================================================
TPMs and SEDs (hardware security) should be must haves in organizations' computer fleets. Wait, organizations already have this built in to enterprise computer fleets!! It just needs to be turned on and managed by a company like Wave!! These standards (TPMs and SEDs) and what they can do to protect organizations should be in the Cybersecurity Awareness month coming up in October. Not sure why the government has not mandated this hardware security or why the TCG and Wave haven't written about what the TPM and SED can do in this Cybersecurity monthly awareness articles. Not turning on this hardware is leading to headline making breaches of the week year after year!!
Turning on TPMs and SEDs is organizational, but impacts everybody!! Everyone should know what TPMs and SEDs are!!! They are vital to the world's cyber good health!!

New SEC Cybersecurity Rules Could Affect Private Companies Too
https://www.esecurityplanet.com/compliance/sec-cybersecurity-rules/?nowprocket=1
Excerpt:
SEC cybersecurity policies preparation
However, for compliance, the term policy actually refers to a written document that contains the goals, objectives, and MINIMUM STANDARDS the company will enact. From a compliance standpoint, those server settings simply enforce the written policy that should already be reviewed and approved by management, compliance, and legal.
============================================================
MINIMUM STANDARDS should include activated TPMs and SEDs!!
===========================================================
With all the risks that have come up in 2FA products like SecurID, Okta, Cisco Duo and others, BODs and companies using these 2FA products should have to indicate they are aware of the risks that these products have in trying to protect against data breaches, ransomware attacks, malware attacks and other cyber incidents. Otherwise, what recourse do shareholders have when a company is affected by these cyber incidents. Or companies could opt for better security in Wave, and not have to deal with all these cyber incidents by using Wave with MINIMUM STANDARDS that are TPMs and SEDs that are enabled!! Bitlocker shouldn't be a minimum standard and considered a bigger risk!!

On September 13, 2022, Ameriprise Financial, Inc. filed official notice of a data breach with the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation after the company confirmed that sensitive information in its possession was subject to UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS.
Ameriprise Financial employs more than 12,000 people and generates approximately $13 billion in annual revenue.
============================================================
What was Ameriprise using for multi-factor authentication (MFA)? With all these UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS data breaches continuing to happen, its amazing that Wave VSC 2.0 isn't protecting tens of thousands of organizations!! What is happening to Ameriprise wouldn't be happening if they were using Wave solutions!!! Please see post #247744 for relevant information on how Wave prevents unauthorized access.

============================================================
This fine should be a wake-up call for organizations to be using SEDs in computers that Wave has a crypto erase feature in Wave SED management!! It is more efficient and could avoid penalties when an organization is finished using computers! In addition to protecting the data on computers when your organization turns on their SEDs, the computer is prepared for end of life, crypto erase, that Wave delivers with Wave SED management!! Avoid the fines, use Wave!!
==========================================================
http://www.wavesys.com/products/wave-self-encrypting-drive-management
Excerpts:
Enterprises choose Wave to manage SEDs
Why? From our single console, you can manage all your organization’s self-encrypting drives (SEDs) easily and remotely, whether they number in the hundreds, or hundreds of thousands.
Wave’s management solution delivers remote drive initialization, user management, drive locking, user recovery and crypto-erase for all Opal-based, proprietary and solid-state SEDs.
Easy proof of compliance
Your encryption is only as good as you can prove it to be. To comply with most data protection regulations, your organization has to prove encryption was in place at the time of a potential breach. Wave provides secure audit logs to help you demonstrate compliance.
If you lose a device with a Wave-managed SED, there’s no wondering or guessing. You know encryption was on by default, and you can prove it.

Excerpts:
And while the White House memo and the Langevin amendment both ask relevant agencies to actively explore the need for additional authorities and regulatory measures, Fanning committed to staying as close as possible to the status quo.
“We commit … to optimize and make smart—based on good outcomes—existing regulation and perhaps simplify that … to harmonize regulation and to defer wherever possible to what exists already.”
==========================================================
The coming standards should include activated hardware security (TPMs and SEDs) so that U.S. organizations are armed with a better cyber defense!! There are over 100+ companies (Trusted Computing Group) that have examined and supported this technology (hardware security standards) for many years - Wave being a founding member!!

EU puts smart device manufacturers on the hook for cyber security
https://www.theregister.com/2022/09/16/eu_cyber_resilience_act/
Excerpts:
Requires five years of patching, 24 hour incident reporting, and PROPER SECURITY … for starters
Failure to comply could result in fines of up to $15 million (€15 million) or 2.5 percent of the offender's total worldwide annual turnover for the preceding financial year.
Lest anyone assume the legislation will only affect Europe, the Commission was not shy to express that it has potential to establish global standards, calling it "likely to become an international point of reference."
===========================================================
Its hard to believe that there is this legislation, and there is in excess of 2 billion TPMs many of which are not activated, and devices (ie. computers) not having the benefit of PROPER SECURITY by TPMs being turned on!! Turning on TPMs with the right software for PROPER SECURITY in devices should be mandatory!! Cybersecurity in organizations across the world continues to suffer because we don't have all the TPMs being turned on!!! The hardware security (TPMs and SEDs) is there, it needs to be turned on!!

Excerpts:
"It's better for the task force to improve data management. Relevant institutions just denied data leaks in the past few years and did not enhance their DATA PROTECTION, and therefore, there have been recurrent data leaks," Mr Alfons Tanujaya, an IT security specialist at Vaksincom, told ST.
"But, thanks to the hacker, the personal data leaks have come into the spotlight tremendously."
Bjorka's intention, the hacker said in a tweet on Sept 10, was to show how easy it is "to get into various doors due to a terrible DATA PROTECTION policy", "primarily if it is managed by the government".

Microsoft Safe Links Falls Down on the Job
Safe Links has several known weaknesses and generating a false sense of security is the significant weakness is this situation." Benishti says.
Once on the malicious page, researchers observed an unusual twist in the proceedings; The attackers tried to make the most of their time with the victims by attempting to tease out multiple passwords from each phishing session.
.... Users will usually submit the same credentials at least one more time before they try variations of other passwords they might have used in the past, providing a gold mine of credentials for criminals to sell or use in brute-force or credential stuffing attacks to access popular financial or social media accounts."

Token-free, password-free user authentication
We know you’ve dreamt about shredding your list of passwords. Go on and do it.
Because you are starting the authentication process in the device’s hardware, the user doesn’t have to interact with it. All users see is their usual Windows log-in screen – no more additional passwords to access the VPN or other resources. They just sign in once, and the secure credentials in their TPMs securely and quickly connect them to everything they need. Say goodbye to user frustration and slow OS performance.
=============================================================
If you don't know your passwords since you have gladly shredded them, you won't have one to put onto a phishing website and since you don't interact with the authentication process phishing would be an easy red flag!!!

When asked, "Do you believe a breach of your organization could potentially constitute a threat to U.S. national security?", you might think most would temper their reaction.
Instead, a hearty 69.4% insisted they thought this was possible.
And yes, 60.7% of them said their company had experienced a cyberattack or data breach in the last year.
One might look at that and think: "Only 60.7% of them are honest enough to admit it?"

The government could lead by turning on its hardware security, TPMs (Trusted Platform Modules) and SEDs (Self-Encrypting Drives) with Wave software. We are reaching a crisis point, and are only a few days away from 9/11!! Those doing business with the government and critical industries at a minimum should be turning on their hardware security!! This would arm these organizations with a much better cyber defense!! Their data, devices and networks would be protected!!

U.S. Government Spending Billions on Cybersecurity
https://thehackernews.com/2022/08/us-government-spending-billions-on.html
Excerpts:
Collectively, the bills that are making their way through the house allocate a staggering $15.6 billion to cybersecurity spending.
As you could probably guess, the lion's share of this spending ($11.2 billion) is being allocated to the Department of Defense.
=============================================================
There seems to be frequent reminders that the Russians, Chinese and others are stealing our data. Wave keeps unauthorized devices from accessing organizations' networks!!
Why try to track and hunt down the unauthorized on your networks (very stressful)when you could eliminate them from accessing your network in the first place by using Wave!! Stop the data from being stolen by using Wave!!

Wave Joins ARM TrustZone Ready Program
http://www.wavesys.com/buzz/pr/wave-joins-arm-trustzone-ready-program
Excerpts:
Reduce the need for user passwords, with reliance on the device itself as a strong authentication token for access to services and data, including cloud-based functions.
The TPM for mobile devices is uniquely designed to support the security needs of multiple stakeholders, allowing enterprises to provide strong security in end-user applications, satisfy the security requirements of third-party application developers, and support other parties.
Increased emphasis on trusted computing is driving the security industry toward hardware-based technologies that offer improved access control, encryption, and the early detection of malware.

Lloyd’s of London to exclude state-backed attacks from cyber insurance policies
https://www.csoonline.com/article/3670571/lloyd-s-of-london-to-exclude-state-backed-attacks-from-cyber-insurance-policies.html
Excerpts:
From March 2023, Lloyd’s of London will require all its insurer groups to exclude liability for losses arising from state-backed cyberattacks.
My gut feel is that non-Lloyd’s insurers will all follow suit, too.”
=============================================================
Organizations could protect themselves by using hardware security (TPMs and SEDs) with Wave solutions to protect their data, devices and networks!! Using software security alone could make your organization much more susceptible to cyber attacks!
Activate the hardware security that you already have with Wave's solutions, and use the Wave alternative to make things simpler, more secure and cheaper!!

Why the federal government and cybersecurity industry must unite
https://www.scmagazine.com/perspective/policy/why-the-federal-government-and-cybersecurity-industry-must-unite%EF%BF%BC
Excerpt:
In the meantime, cyber criminals are "eating our lunch," said Krebs.
===============================================================
The computer technology industry has spent billions of dollars on making the TPM a standard in over 2 billion devices (ie. computers)! 100+ companies forming the Trusted Computing Group back the the TPM and SED hardware security standards.
When countries figure out what these activated technologies can do for their cyber defenses, there will be a race to have all countries using Trusted Computing and Wave software!! Otherwise those countries left behind will continue to have cyber criminals eating their lunch!!

Excerpt:
Reported incidents increased to 198 in July from 135 in June, according to the cybersecurity firm NCC Group which issues semi-regular reports on ransomware activity by tracking websites that post victims’ details.
=============================================================
How does your organization detect and stop NEW MALWARE STRAINS? By using Wave Endpoint Monitor!!
Only hardware-based security can beat malware!!
http://www.wavesys.com/products/wave-endpoint-monitor
Excerpts:
An open standard means Wave works with everything
Wave Endpoint Monitor works on your existing hardware, across platforms. That’s because our solutions are based on an open standard that’s already been implemented on many laptops and is now working its way onto mobile devices. We’re talking about those TPMs. We just don’t think that expensive new equipment and vendor lock-in are great selling points.

Data breaches are costing more – what companies need to know
https://www.insurancebusinessmag.com/us/news/cyber/data-breaches-are-costing-more--what-companies-need-to-know-417644.aspx
Excerpts:
Another unique finding was that 83% of organizations in the study have experienced more than one data breach in their lifetime. This “haunting effect” is expected to worsen with security teams handling more cyber incidents every year.
When it comes to securing IT infrastructure, multi-factor authentication is “absolutely critical” for organizations, according to Hamilton. Companies should also install endpoint security software, which allows critical data to be remotely removed from a laptop or device if lost or stolen.
=============================================================
Use better MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication), use Wave VSC 2.0 (MFA)!!! That way your organization won't have to be suffering from data breaches!!
Activate your SEDs (Self Encrypting Drives) that are already built-in to devices to protect with encryption in case of a lost or stolen device!! The security is already there and just needs to be activated!!

CrowdStrike: Attackers are moving faster, harder to detect
https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/news/252513425/CrowdStrike-Attackers-are-moving-faster-harder-to-detect
Excerpts:
To counter the threats, CrowdStrike recommended that administrators focus on covering their entire network with security protections and pay attention to the human element of attacks. The security company said defenders should be aware of who is targeting their systems and what tactics they may use.
"User awareness programs should be initiated to combat the continued threat of phishing and related social engineering techniques," the company said.
"For security teams, practice makes perfect. Encourage an environment that routinely performs table top exercises and red/blue teaming to identify gaps and eliminate weaknesses in your cybersecurity practices and response."
=============================================================
As of Jan. 31, 2022 Crowdstrike has 16,325 subscription customers.
Wave protects against phishing and keep the unauthorized devices from accessing your network. Wave does this along with its other better security!!
From the article it sounds like Crowdstrike can't do what Wave can! Wave protects data, devices and networks for organizations!!
Crowdstrike and Palo Alto's didn't protect them from data breaches. Maybe it should be SecurId, or Okta's job to protect these organizations. With all of these cybersecurity companies, with 100,000 plus customers (organizations), someone should have protected the 2000 organizations from data breaches!! Some of these 2000 organizations were using Crowdstrike, Palo Alto, SecurId or Okta. They didn't work for stopping these data breaches!!
Wave could get the job of protecting organizations from data breaches done!! Use Wave VSC 2.0, and see what your organization is missing!!
=============================================================
http://www.wavesys.com/virtual-smart-card-2.0-from-wave
Cyber-threats are everywhere, but with Wave Virtual Smart Card 2.0 (Wave VSC 2.0) enterprises have a hardware-based, tokenless, two-factor authentication security solution with the security of a hardware token solution and the convenience and cost savings of a software token solution.
Wave VSC 2.0 delivers strong two-factor authentication using the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), the embedded security chip built into enterprise PCs. Wave empowers IT with management of the TPM and VSC 2.0. Companies successfully use Wave VSC 2.0 to secure VPN access, web applications and other certificate-based applications, like Wi-Fi with 802.1x, remote desktop, or Windows-user login. Use the security that’s already been deployed and save money with Wave VSC 2.0.
Every month we see headlines highlighting mammoth breaches (i.e. EBay, JP Morgan Chase, Sony, Target, etc…). In each case, millions of records were stolen, corporate images were tarnished, and enormous costs were incurred as a result. And equally disturbing, more often than not the attacks go undetected and as a result important information is stolen.
