Yesterday was SolarWinds, today is Kaseya, but there are dozens of other management and monitoring tools that have complete control of all systems and data on networks they are deployed on. These tools can provide management productivity boosts, but by their very nature introduce massive risk.\u00a0 It is incumbent on organizations to recognize this trade-off conduct an in-depth security evaluation as part of the acquisition of these products and services. It must be part of your threat monitoring. Too many organizations discovered this weekend that there wasn\u2019t a plan if their MSP or their tools were compromised.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"hr hr\"><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Demi Ben-Ari<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Demi Ben-Ari is CTO and Co-Founder of <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.panorays.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Panorays<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Kaseya VSA cyber incident that resulted in the massive REvil ransomware attack is unquestionably one of the most serious supply chain attacks in history. It could even very well turn out to be a much larger incident than the SolarWinds breach since some of its victims are Managed Service Providers (MSPs) that may each work with hundreds of businesses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moreover, it should be noted that the Russian-based REvil hacker group has been active since April 2019 and provides ransomware as a Service. That is, it develops software that paralyzes networks and sells it to so-called affiliates, who earn the bulk of the ransom. So unlike the SolarWinds breach, the primary motive of this cyber-attack appears to be money.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"hr hr\"><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>James McQuiggan<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">James McQuiggan is Security Awareness Advocate at <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.knowbe4.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">KnowBe4<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Cyber-criminals continue to target organizations that provide services or products to a large number of customers or clients in an attempt to maximize their attack footprint. As seen with earlier cyber-attacks, cyber-criminals manipulate updated code to attack various customer organizations. As with all cyber-criminal activity, their attacks have evolved and now involve injecting a ransomware attack within the code to leverage the trusted connections of the targeted organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cyber organizations need to be transparent with these large-scale attacks to a supply chain service to thousands of customers and users. With this type of remote service to customers, it is essential to mitigate the risk of further attack by following the vendor&#8217;s recommendations, even if that means shutting down the service or systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When organizations are informed about a zero-day vulnerability by security researchers or other third parties, communication and repeatable response plans must be implemented to mitigate the risk and make the corrected update available as soon as possible.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"hr hr\"><\/div>\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, unfortunately, a major reminder that ransomware attacks continue to be an increasing threat to companies, critical infrastructure organizations, and government agencies at all levels. This attack is especially dangerous because Kaseya is used by many Managed Service Providers that businesses trust to handle their IT functions such as endpoint inventory, patching, and software deployment. With up to 1,500 possible businesses affected by the Kaseya ransomware attack, the impacts from the attack will be felt for months to come.\u00a0<\/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 Kaseya identify malicious activity and thwart bad actors before ransomware can take hold.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"hr hr\"><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Stephan Chenette<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stephan Chenette is Co-Founder &amp; CTO at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/attackiq.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">AttackIQ<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/em><\/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 Kaseya itself but also its customers, who rely on its services 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 \u2013 it is likely that the organization will suffer reputational damage, legal consequences, and loss of data and business. 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<div class=\"hr hr\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thanks to these experts for their time and expertise on the REvil Ransomware Attack.
