Additionally, other reports state that the ransomware attack forced the company to temporarily shut down its manufacturing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sierra Wireless states the ransomware attack appears limited to its own internal systems and did not affect consumer-facing portals or resources. However, the company did withdraw its first-quarter financial guidance shared last month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is another significant ransomware attack in a particularly devastating <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/free-endpoint-protection-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cybersecurity<\/a> season. For more information, we reached out to several cybersecurity experts for their takes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"widget\"><div class=\"aside-card\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a class=\"iam-inject\" href=\"https:\/\/suggestionengine.solutionsreview.com\/buyer\/signup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1682\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/files\/2021\/02\/Identity_Suggestion_Engine_Horiz_800.gif\" alt=\"IAM Solution Suggestion Engine\" width=\"800\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>IoT Maker Sierra Wireless Suffers Ransomware Attack<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Bryan Embrey<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bryan Embrey is Director of Product Marketing at <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/zentrysecurity.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Zentry Security.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe famous WannaCry ransomware attack spread due to known vulnerabilities in Microsoft\u2019s SMB protocol. The NotPetya variant spread via email attachments but exploited the same vulnerability.\u00a0 While it is unclear how Sierra Wireless was attacked, ransomware attacks typically succeed through unpatched systems. The FBI advises adopting a broad strategy when addressing ransomware that includes managing the use of privileged accounts and configuring access controls, both of which are zero trust mechanisms. Organizations of all sizes should consider adopting zero trust as well as patching outdated systems and ensuring anti-virus and anti-malware solutions are up to date to combat the dangers of increasingly sophisticated ransomware.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Chris Clements<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chris Clements is VP of Solutions Architecture at <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cerberussentinel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cerberus Sentinel<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSierra Wireless claims that they don\u2019t currently believe that any customer services or products have been affected, but given the recent SolarWinds-based supply-chain compromise I urge both Sierra and their customers closely review software and firmware to ensure that no malicious alterations have been introduced by the attackers. Even if there is no reason to believe that such access would have been possible, the scale of devices Sierra Wireless manufactures warrant a thorough review to ensure the safety of their customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s important that all organizations understand the cost of a ransomware attack.\u00a0 It\u2019s not just the cost of investigation and restoration (which can be significant), but in many cases, it means that business operations halt altogether. Sierra Wireless\u2019s main website remains offline 3 days after first discovering the attack and they have self-reported the shutdown of their manufacturing lines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another unspoken precursor often necessary for a successful mass-scale ransomware attack is that after gaining initial access, say by phishing an average employee, the cybercriminals are successful in escalating their network privileges and gaining enterprise-wide administrative access to the entire organization. This means they have more or less complete control of all systems and data on the network and all of the potential risk of alteration, theft, and disclosure that level of access suggests.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Matt Sanders<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Matt Sanders is Director of Security at <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/logrhythm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">LogRhythm<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThis is the perfect example of the power a ransomware attack can have on an organization. Unfortunately, Sierra Wireless\u2019 entire production has halted thanks to an attack that has completely debilitated them. When an organization falls victim to ransomware, the pressure to get back to normal business operations is huge and the ability to do so in a timely manner may be pivotal to the company\u2019s ability to continue operating at all. Sierra Wireless will now also have to determine if sensitive information has been stolen. This is only one part of the story, as determining how the bad actors were able to access the network and remediating appropriately is critical, in addition to assessing whether the attackers have deployed means of persistence intended to survive the ransomware cleanup and provide them with future access.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Recovering from a ransomware attack takes time, and a well-rehearsed incident response plan will prove invaluable should the worst happen. Aside from planning their response to a successful attack, organizations should keep their prevention and detection technologies top of mind by ensuring that they have the appropriate protective controls in place, as well as visibility into what is happening across their environment. A properly configured security monitoring solution that has full visibility into the environment with robust automated response capability would help organizations such as Sierra Wireless identify malicious activity and thwart bad actors before ransomware can take hold.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Stephan Chenette<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stephan Chenette is Co-Founder &amp; CTO of <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/attackiq.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">AttackIQ<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThis ransomware attack highlights the complexity and far-reaching damage of a B2B data breach. The incident not only impacts Sierra Wireless itself but also its customers, who rely on up-to-date information to keep their operations moving forward. As evidenced by this and many other recent ransomware attacks, it\u2019s no longer an issue of just whether or not to pay the ransom. Because of this, it&#8217;s important to adopt a proactive and threat-informed approach to security strategy that allows for an organization to know it can thwart ransomware attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To best defend against ransomware, it\u2019s important to understand the common tactics, techniques, and procedures used by the adversary. In doing so, companies can build more resilient security detection, prevention, and response programs mapped specifically to those known behaviors. Additionally, companies should use automated solutions that safely validate their defensive controls against ransomware campaigns and their techniques to avoid falling victim.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><div class=\"hr hr\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thanks to the experts for their time and expertise.
