Does Your Company have a DFARS NIST 800-171 Time Bomb?
/by Wayne Lloyd, Federal CTO, RedSealOn December 30, 2015, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) published a three-page interim rule to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), revising its earlier August 2015 interim rule on Safeguarding Covered Defense Information.
This new interim rule is a ticking time bomb that gives government contractors a deadline of December 31, 2017 to […]
Data Dearth Hobbles Cyber Insurance Market
/by Steve TimmermanThe Deloitte Center for Financial Services just issued a report discussing why cyber insurance has yet to take off. “Demystifying cyber insurance” is an excellent summary of the challenges facing the nascent cyber insurance industry. The authors identify a fundamental problem early in the report: a dearth of data creates a vicious circle that limits […]
The Bleed Goes On
/by Dr. Mike Lloyd, CTO, RedSealSome people are surprised that Heartbleed is still out there, 3 years on, as you can read here. What this illustrates is two important truths of security, depending on whether you see the glass half full or half empty.
One perspective is that, once again, we know what to do, but failed to do it. Heartbleed is […]
Shadow Brokers Turn Out the Lights
/by Wayne Lloyd, Federal CTO, RedSealThe Shadow Brokers are turning out the lights. On their way out they dumped another suite of alleged National Security Agency hacking tools. Unlike last time, where the released exploits focused on network gear from vendors such as Cisco and Fortinet, these tools and exploits target Microsoft Windows operating systems. Most of the sixty plus […]
On the Way to SDN and the Cloud: Building Resilient Networks
/by Wayne Lloyd, Federal CTO, RedSealWillis H. Ware, a research scientist at the Rand Corporation working for the United States Air Force in 1967, predicted that ARPAnet would be a disaster if security wasn’t built into the project.
He was overruled.
In January 2013, the Final Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Resilient Military Systems and the […]
Centralize Cybersecurity? Secretary Pritzker Doesn’t Think So
/by Wayne Lloyd, Federal CTO, RedSealLast month, Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker appeared in front of the President’s Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity and the subsequent article in FedScoop caught my attention.
She is very concerned that the President’s Commission could mandate that all US Federal Government information technology be consolidated under one organization’s authority. According to Secretary Pritzker, a […]
Micro-Segmentation: Good or Bad?
/by Dr. Mike Lloyd, CTO, RedSealThere’s a lot going on in virtual data centers. In security, we’re hearing many variations of the term “micro-segmentation.” (It originated from VMWare, but has been adopted by other players, some of them adding top-spin or over-spin.)
We know what segmentation is. Every enterprise network practices segmentation between outside and inside, at least. Most aim […]
Hol(e)y Routers, Batman!
/by Dr. Mike Lloyd, CTO, RedSealMost people think about network infrastructure about as much as they think about plumbing – which is to say, not at all, until something really unfortunate happens. That’s what puts the “infra” in the infrastructure – we want it out of sight, out of mind, and ideally mostly below ground. We pay more attention to […]
“Hide & Sneak.” Playing Today’s Cybersecurity Game
/by Dr. Mike Lloyd, CTO, RedSealI recently came across a rather nice title for a webinar by A10 Networks’ Kevin Broughton– “Hide & Sneak: Defeat Threat Actors Lurking within your SSL Traffic”. “Hide & Sneak” is a good summary of the current state of the cybersecurity game. Whether our adversaries are state actors or less organized miscreants, they find plenty of ways […]
