July/August/September 2021 I 69 THEME 3: Adversaries Have Their Heads in The Cloud In many organizations, the adoption of cloud infra- structure had happened to some degree prior to the global pandemic. The cloud introduces new wrinkles to proper protection that does not all translate exactly from a traditional on-premises data center model. • Enable runtime protection and obtain real-time visibility. • Eliminate configuration errors. • Leverage a cloud security posture management solution. THEME 4: Watch for Weaknesses with Public-facing Applications and Service While attackers have always targeted internet-facing infrastructure, the volume of incidents that began this way in 2020 represents a shift in the threat landscape. • Inventory public-facing applications, services, and systems. • Patch vulnerable web applications. • Perform web application penetration tests. • Enforce multifactor authentication on public-facing applications and services, such as remote desktop protocol (RDP) and virtual private network (VPN). • Restrict systems with remote login services such as RDP and Secure Shell exposed to the internet. THEME 5: State-Sponsored Adversaries Leave Smaller Footprints State-sponsored adversaries continue to blend in by using "living off the land" techniques both within traditional enterprise environments and in the cloud, as well as using custom implants that leave minimal artifacts for traditional forensic analysis. • Establish strong IT hygiene with an asset inventory and consistent vulnerability management. Protect your cloud infrastructure and workloads. • Establish a plan for a coordinated remediation event. • Develop an ongoing relationship with law enforcement agencies.
