    Study Notes

    Insights on Cybersecurity from Public Sector Experts

    • Rogue nation-state actors, including China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, are using cyber-attacks to stay in a "gray zone" and frustrate Western democracies' responses.
    • The US and its allies are shifting towards a "defend-forward-and-persistent-engagement" posture in cybersecurity, involving a move towards zero trust to verify the identity of users and devices and continuously assess their trustworthiness.
    • Business email compromise (BEC) remains a high threat, involving attackers compromising a company's email system to send fraudulent emails and steal money or sensitive information. Employing robust email security measures and educating employees on recognizing and reporting suspicious emails is crucial to protect against BEC.
    • The MITRE ATT&CK framework is a comprehensive resource for understanding the tactics, techniques, and procedures used by cyber attackers, and organizations can use it to prepare for and defend against potential cyberattacks.
    • A Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) assumes that all users and devices are untrusted by default and requires continuous authentication and authorization to access resources. Organizations can use network segmentation, micro-segmentation, and multi-factor authentication to implement a ZTA and better protect themselves against cyber threats.
    • Implementing a zero trust approach enables organizations to continuously validate and authenticate users and devices and respond to changing threats in real-time, helping to ensure the safety and security of their systems and data.
    • During the Ukraine War, Russian cyberattacks were not as severe due to factors such as Ukraine improving its cyber defenses and becoming more resilient, receiving support from the US and its allies, and the possibility of monkey wrenches thrown into the gears of Russian cyber operations.
    • Measuring the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures requires evaluating their ability to protect against real-world threats, such as conducting simulated attacks or penetration tests and analyzing relevant metrics.
    • Moving from a static defense to an active or dynamic defense is crucial to effectively protect against cyber threats.
    • The MITRE ATT&CK framework and Zero Trust Architecture play a critical role in automating and advancing software analytics in cybersecurity and the need to continuously validate every stage of a digital transaction to ensure the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures.
    • Focusing on outcomes and tracking relevant metrics, rather than just tasks or compliance with standards, is important in measuring the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures.
    • Fuel User Group members can benefit from the discussion on the need for a proactive and dynamic approach to cybersecurity to effectively protect against cyber threats.
    • The entire conversation with John Davis and Jonathan Reiber is available on the Fuel User Group YouTube Channel.
