Attack Motivation Source: NANOG60 keynote presentation by Jeff Moss, Feb 2014 Attack Motivation Attack Motivation Joy Hacks APNIC Opportunistic Hacks APNIC Targeted Attack APNIC Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) Highly skilled (well funded) - specific targets – Mostly 0-days Sometimes (not always) working for a nation-state An attack in which an unauthorized user gains access to a system or network and remains there for an extended period of time without being detected. Note: many lesser attacks blamed on APTs APNIC Attack Vector vs Attack Surface Attack Surface What is an Attack Surface? represented by all of the points on your network where an adversary can attempt to gain entry to your information systems.

CIA TRIAD The CIA triad is a common, respected model that forms the basis for the development of security systems and policies. CIA TRIAD Information Security (InfoSec) Information Security (InfoSec) is preservation of confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. Cyber Security Defined as the “preservation of confidentiality, integrity and availability of information in the Cyberspace.” CIA objectives To achieve the CIA objectives organizations must protect two aspects or their IT environment: application security and data security. Critical Infrastructure Critical Infrastructure is the body of systems, networks and assets that are so essential that their continued operation is required to ensure the security of a given nation, its economy, and the public’s health and/or safety.
