Ransomware Attacks on the Rise Globally and in Israel

/in


Ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly common globally, including in Israel. The recent attack on the Mayanei Hayeshua hospital did not come as a surprise to Bobi Gilburd, Chief Innovation Officer at Team8 and former commander of the 8200 unit’s Cyber Center. Gilburd explains that the key difference lies in an organization’s response and recovery. While some businesses are severely impacted and may even be forced to close, others are able to recover swiftly.

According to Gilburd, ransomware attacks are on the rise, in part due to the introduction of generative artificial intelligence. He emphasizes that the answer to AI-driven attacks is AI itself. Gilburd encourages the use of AI-enhanced security products to counter evolving threats.

Ransomware attacks are widespread globally and are not specifically targeted at certain institutions. Attackers use malware to scan thousands of websites for vulnerabilities. While most attempts may fail, a small percentage may succeed. When conducted on a large scale, these attacks can affect numerous sites.

The attacks often start with phishing, where employees are tricked into opening malicious emails or visiting malicious websites. Education can help prevent such attacks by teaching people how to identify unusual elements in emails. Automatic tools can also block such emails at the corporate level.

If an employee falls victim to a phishing attack, automatic protection products play a role in detecting unusual domain requests and halting the attack. However, in some cases, these defense mechanisms may fail due to outdated or insufficiently powerful products or the exploitation of zero-day vulnerabilities.

When the attack successfully infiltrates the network, protection products within the network should prevent movement between computers and unauthorized access. In the case of Mayanei Hayeshua, this defense mechanism appears to have failed, leading to the widespread spread of the attack.

Once the attack is noticed, affected computers become unresponsive, and the ransomware spreads from one computer to another, encrypting databases. This process can take hours, providing an opportunity to halt the attack by shutting down the server and…

Center for Internet Security, CREST Join Forces to Secure Organizations Globally

/in


EAST GREENBUSH, N.Y., June 28, 2023 — The Center for Internet Security, Inc. (CIS®) today announced the launch of a joint initiative with CREST, an international not-for-profit accreditation and certification body, to help advance security and resilience to achieve better global cybersecurity.

As cyber threats continue to escalate to unprecedented levels globally, CIS and CREST are launching the CIS Controls Accreditation program to provide organizations a way to show customers and partners that their cybersecurity posture meets the best practice guidance as set forth in the CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS Controls) underpinned by the rigorous standards of CREST accreditation.

Establishing, maintaining, and proving an organization’s security posture remains a high priority for business, government, and regulatory bodies. CIS Controls Accreditation is an exclusive opportunity for CIS SecureSuite Members (Controls, Consulting & Services, and Product Vendor) and CREST Members to offer consulting services to end user organizations who wish to demonstrate that their implementation of security best practices is guided and externally assessed in accordance with the training and validation defined by two renowned authorities in cybersecurity. 

“The ability to digest all the data and controls from various devices and systems is essential in this massive shift to evidencing security,” said Tom Brennan, Executive Director, CREST Americas Region. “Together, CIS Controls and CREST accreditations give our joint members an accelerated path to meet risk and compliance requirements in addition to providing a methodology for continuously monitoring their security posture. By using CREST on top of the CIS Controls, security professionals can monitor security from infrastructure that can be observed, tested, and enhanced.”

The CIS Critical Security Controls are a set of globally-recognized and widely-used best practices that provide a prioritized path to improve an enterprise’s cybersecurity posture. This is the first initiative pairing the CIS Controls with a program to deliver accredited consulting.

“CIS is pleased to partner with CREST to provide end user organizations a selection…
