Modern hackers often use advanced techniques such as endpoint security evasion, bypassing intrusion detection systems (IDS) and web application firewalls (WAF) to break into companies’ networks and steal or compromise sensitive data. Also, it may not be necessary to gain full administrative / root privileges on an application server for an attacker to accomplish these goals. As a result, it’s critical to secure applications and other necessary data they use. A variety of techniques inform the secure software development lifecycle (SDLC), with one of the most important being application threat modeling (which is implemented during the design process). Application threat modeling visualizes an application's attack surface to identify threats and vulnerabilities that pose a risk to functionality or data. By decomposing the application architecture into its security-relevant components, teams can better understand the various threats and risks the application might face.
It is an assessment to understand the threats to an application, its vulnerability to those threats, safeguards already undertaken and any residual gaps that pose risks. Implementable recommendations are provided.
It Identifies security controls needed to mitigate threats, increases resistance to attack and lowers risk to the client. Threat model can be re-used by development teams to focus on critical aspect of other solutions.
Assess preparedness of an organization against relevant incident scenarios. Breach Coaching – Provide expert guidance and advice in coordinating and responding to breach.
Taking participants through simulated incident scenarios and providing hands of training to highlight flaws in incident response plans.
Provide executive coordination, command and control during incidents. Threat Hunting to determine if an attacker has pivoted to adjacent IT resources and/or left behind malicious elements. Post breach recommendations reporting to reduce the likelihood of repeat events
A communication plan is developed to ensure rapid and appropriate responses. Helps organization provide both strategic and technical response to cyber attacks. Helps validate an organizations Incident response plan. Reduction of time lag between compromise and discovery. Identifies scope of attack and affected data and systems. Identifies vectors and attack paths involved and provides recommendation to address those vulnerabilities. Helps ensure that no latent malicious elements have been left behind by an attacker that could re-initiate another attack. Facilitates accurate recovery and helps prevent future attacks
Center for Internet Security (CIS) Benchmarks are a series of guidelines developed to enhance an organization's security posture across various technology platforms, including those provided by Microsoft Office 365 (O365). These benchmarks, developed through a community-driven consensus process, cover a wide range of vendor product families and serve as a foundation for implementing a defense-in-depth strategy, ensuring services and products are secure by default.
The CIS Benchmarks cover seven broad categories, each of which can be aligned with Office 365 security practices:
Operating Systems: For O365, ensure that all devices accessing the service are up-to-date with the latest security patches and configurations as recommended by CIS for the operating systems.
Cloud Infrastructure and Services: Directly applicable to O365, follow best practices for securing your cloud environment, including the use of secure access controls, encryption, and monitoring activities.
Server Software: While O365 is a cloud service, integration with on-premises servers for hybrid configurations must adhere to CIS recommendations for securing server-based applications.
Desktop Software: Secure all desktop applications accessing O365 by applying CIS benchmarks, ensuring software is regularly updated and follows best security practices.
Mobile Devices: Implement guidelines for securing mobile devices and their operating systems to protect access to O365 applications on-the-go.
Network Software: Secure network infrastructure that supports O365 access, including routers and switches, following CIS best practices.
Multi-Function Print Devices:Ensure that devices connected to O365 for printing or scanning are secured as per CIS recommendations to prevent unauthorized access.
CIS Benchmarks are divided into two levels, each suitable for different security needs:
Level 1 Profile: Offers basic security recommendations. For O365, this could include implementing default security configurations provided by Microsoft, ensuring broad compatibility and minimal impact on usability.
Level 2 Profile:Provides more advanced security measures suitable for environments handling sensitive data. In O365, this may involve stricter access controls, advanced threat protection features, and comprehensive data loss prevention policies.
Adopting CIS Benchmarks for O365 can significantly enhance security, offering benefits such as:
Reduced Risk of Data Breaches: Strengthening O365 security configurations as per CIS recommendations can lower the likelihood of breaches and cyber-attacks.
Enhanced Security Posture: Aligning O365 practices with CIS benchmarks strengthens defense mechanisms against cyber threats.
Increased Customer Trust: Demonstrating a commitment to security can enhance customer satisfaction and trust.
Compliance with Regulations: Following CIS Benchmarks helps ensure adherence to legal and security standards, important for regulatory compliance.
While CIS Controls provide generic security guidelines, CIS Benchmarks offer specific recommendations, including settings and configurations for O365, ensuring detailed guidance for securing your cloud environment in alignment with broader security controls.
Our CIS Benchmark Gap Analysis Service will identify how your current O365 setup compares to CIS Benchmarks, highlighting gaps and providing actionable recommendations for improvement. Our Remediation Service assists in implementing these changes, ensuring your O365 environment aligns with CIS Benchmarks for optimal security.
