When the concept of Zero Trust emerged in 2010, it marked a sea change in how IT and network security are handled. The term, invented by Forrester Research analyst John Kindervag, is loosely based on the “never trust, always verify” motto. So why is this a sea change? Before 2010, IT focused on perimeter defenses and the concept of DMZs — areas of the network they deemed safe based on the protection they implemented.

The much-anticipated cybersecurity rules by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for public companies have arrived, signaling a significant step forward from the proposed rules released in March 2022. These final rules, effective July 26, 2023, introduce new obligations that public companies must adhere to, promising a more secure and transparent corporate landscape. However, these regulations bring significant compliance challenges and litigation risks.

Network detection tools utilize one of two prominent approaches for threat detection: AI-driven behavior-based methods capable of identifying early indicators of compromise, and signature-based ones, which flag known attacks and common CVEs. While these systems operate on distinct principles, their combination forms more robust defense mechanism, helps to consolidate tools, provides richer threat context and improves compliance.

In this article, we explained the benefits of combining signature-based detection by Suricata IDS with behavior-based detection by Flowmon ADS. Now, let’s talk about how to enable this feature using Flowmon Probe and Flowmon ADS.

FIPS compliant cipher suites hold the U.S. government's seal of approval, guaranteeing their suitability for federal systems. On the other hand, non-FIPS compliant cipher suites may present security vulnerabilities due to outdated cryptographic algorithms and potential lack of perfect forward secrecy. As a result, it becomes paramount to monitor TLS network traffic for non-FIPS compliant cipher suites.

The MITRE ATT@CK® framework is one of the most widely known and used. The Flowmon Anomaly Detection System (ADS) incorporates knowledge of the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Using ADS and its MITRE ATT&CK knowledge makes detecting advanced threats against networks and IT systems easier and simplifies explaining the danger and risks when outlining an attack to all stakeholders.

Many organizations manage a hybrid infrastructure spread over on-premise and multiple public cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure and Google for specific business applications. The hybrid cloud approach has advantages but adds more complexity for IT teams responsible for keeping IT systems safe and secure. The monitoring tools system administrators use for on-premise infrastructure are often unsuitable for monitoring public cloud platforms.

The patterns of network traffic are changing. Due to global health concerns, face-to-face contact is discouraged and home office has become a necessity, creating new challenges for network monitoring. The sudden global trend of working from home poses dilemmas for network administrators. Do they increase the company bandwidth or change Internet communications policy? In what way have network traffic characteristics changed and what does it mean for you?

Encryption is considered as security by design. It undoubtedly helps to avoid risks such as communication interception and misuse. Therefore it is natural that all responsible organizations adopt encryption as an important way of protecting business critical applications and services. According to Gartner 80 % of web traffic will be encrypted in 2019.

By Flowmon
It has been estimated that encrypted traffic provides the cover for almost half of today's cyber-attacks. The concerted, blended, always-morphing and never-ending character of network-borne attacks masked by encryption demands a response in kind.
