The absolute security does not exist and it i

All these aspects impact on the computer systems of banks

• ICT security is a key element for ensuring : - the Business Continuity

» that is a business problem - compliance with the various standards and

certifications» very demanding and heavy for banks

• information and ICT resources are an enterprise ass et and as such they should be protected and managed.The IC

Key Vulnerabilities (non-exhaustive list)

• Threats and attacks are all based on technical and / or human-organizational vulnerabilities

• Technical vulnerabilities (software systems and applications, architectures a nd configurations):- Operating systems and middleware - Web sites and collaborative platforms - Smartphones and mobility tablettes ���� ++ 14,000 malware - Virtualized systems - Outsourcing and Cloud (XaaS) - Between 30 and 40% of software vulnerabilities has no patches from the development companies

���� Zero Day vulnerability

• Human Vulnerability : the ICT user's behavior- Social Engineering and Phishing - Use of social networks, even at the enterprise leve l

• Organizational vulnerabilities- Lack or non-use of organizational procedures and in formatics support- Inadequate or non-use of standards and best practic es - Lack of training and awareness from top managers to end users - Lack of systematic monitoring and controls of the I CT resources- Limited or missing Risk analysis - Not effective control of providers- Limited or missing SoD, Separation of Duties

OAI 2013: Most feared attacks in the next future

© OAI 2013

1616

Threats and attacks: main trend worldwide (1)

• A personal synthesis by recent reports of CSA, Enisa, Microsoft, IBM XForce, McAfee, Sophos, TrendMicro, Websense

• Two main directions: • ++ Massive attacks : relatively simple, such as social engineering-phishing,

virus, etc. • ++ Targeted attacks : very sophisticated, such as APT, Watering hole, etc.

• ++ Malware• + New sophisticated • + revitalization of old ones and/or based on obsolete middleware still “in

production”• + lock-screen ransomware• ++ cryptographic ransomware• +++ new sophisticated for mobile and apps (tablet and smartphone)

• ++ Social engineering

• +++ Digital identity theft

• + Attacks to big data repositories

• ++ DoS/DDoS, Denial of Service/ Distributed DoS

1717

Threats and attacks: main trend worldwide (2)

• ++ DoS/DDoS, Denial of Service/ Distributed DoS

• + exploitation of basic software vulnerabilities and in particular of HTML5 and Java

• ++ attacks to cloud services (XaaS)- The Notorious Nine Top Threats: data breaches, data loss, account hijacking,

insecure APIs, malicious insiders, abuse of cloud services, insufficient due diligence, shared technology issues

• + consolidation of new exploit kits , such as Neutrino and Redkit, which will replace the well-known and popular Blackhole

• ++ Internet of Things ‘ attacks- Smart cities (Expo 2015) - Domotics

• ++ TA and APT

• + (?) attacks to Bitcoin and virtual coins- especially with the use of mobile devices
