Dynamic Security Posture

Combining technical, operational, and strategic mitigation steps.

Cohesive Approach

Our method for web application penetration testing involves an end to end testing of web applications including dynamic (or external) security testing and static (or internal) security testing which seeks to address the following principal sources of security issues:

Injection flaws, such as SQL, NoSQL, OS and LDAP injection, occur when untrusted data gets sent to an interpreter as part of a command or query. The attacker&rsquo;s hostile data can trick the interpreter into executing unintended commands or accessing data without proper authorisation.

SQL Injection (SQLi)

Application functions related to authentication and session management are often implemented incorrectly, allowing attackers to compromise passwords, keys, or session tokens. Other implementation flaws can also get exploited to assume other users&rsquo; identities temporarily or permanently.

Broken Authentication

Many web applications and APIs do not adequately protect sensitive data, such as financial, healthcare, and Personally identifiable information (PII). Attackers may steal or modify such weakly defended data to conduct credit card fraud, identity theft, or other crimes. Sensitive data can get compromised without extra protection, such as encryption at rest or in transit. And special precautions are required when data gets exchanged with the browser.

Sensitive Data Exposure

Many older or poorly configured XML processors evaluate external entity references within XML documents. External entities can be used to disclose internal files using the file Unified resource identifier (URI) handler, internal file shares, internal port scanning, remote code execution, and denial of service attacks.

XML External Entities (XXE)

Restrictions on what authenticated users can do are often not adequately enforced. Attackers can exploit these flaws to access unauthorised functionality and data. They can access other users accounts, view sensitive files, modify other users&rsquo; data, change access rights, etc.

Broken Access Control

Security misconfiguration is the most commonly seen issue and is usually a result of insecure default configurations, incomplete or ad hoc configurations, open cloud storage, misconfigured HTTP headers, and verbose error messages containing sensitive information. Not only must all operating systems, frameworks, libraries, and applications be securely configured, but patched and upgraded in a timely fashion.

Security Misconfiguration

XSS flaws occur whenever an application includes untrusted data in a new web page without proper validation or updates an existing web page with user-supplied data using a browser API that can create HTML or JavaScript. XSS allows attackers to execute scripts in the victim&rsquo;s browser which can hijack user sessions, deface websites, or redirect the user to malicious sites.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

Insecure deserialization often leads to remote code execution. Even if deserialization flaws do not result in remote code execution, they can be used to perform attacks, including replay attacks, injection attacks, and privilege escalation attacks.

Insecure Deserialisation

Components, such as libraries, frameworks, and other software modules, run with the same privileges as the application. On exploiting a vulnerable part, an attack can facilitate severe data loss or server takeover. Applications and APIs using components with known vulnerabilities may undermine application defenses and enable various attacks and impacts.

Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities

Insufficient logging and monitoring, coupled with missing or ineffective integration with incident response, allows adversaries to attack systems further, maintain persistence, pivot to more systems, and tamper, extract, or destroy data. Most breach studies show that the time to detect a breach is on average over 200 days. And breaches are typically identified by external parties rather than internal processes or monitoring.

Insufficient Logging and Monitoring

Malicious hackers often attack web applications. Hence, web application security testing is of paramount importance.

Web Application Penetration Testing

Inappropriate usage of mobile software platforms covers misuse of specific platform features or failure to use platform security controls. It might include Android intents, platform permissions, abuse of TouchID, the Keychain, or some other security controls that are part of the mobile operating system. There are several ways that mobile apps can experience this risk.

Improper Platform Usage

Insecure data storage covers aspects of storage of sensitive data without encryption and unintended data leakage.

Insecure Data Storage

Insecure communication often involves poor handshaking, incorrect SSL versions, weak negotiation, cleartext communication of sensitive assets, etc.

Insecure Communication

Insecure authentication captures notions of authenticating the end-user or bad session management and can include failure to identify the user at all when that should be required. A failure to maintain the user&rsquo;s identity when it is necessary as well as weaknesses in session management can occur.

Insecure Authentication

Many vulnerabilities occur in mobile applications because of insufficient cryptography. Software code applies cryptography to a sensitive information asset. However, cryptography can be inadequate in many ways. Note that anything and everything related to TLS or SSL relates to insecure communication (mentioned above).A failure of the application to use cryptography at all when it should refer to insecure data storage (discussed above).

Insufficient Cryptography

Authorisation is the process of allowing authenticated users to access the resources by checking whether they have access rights to a system. Authorisation helps to control access rights by granting or denying specific permissions to authenticated users. An insecure authorisation can lead to failures in authorisation (e.g., authorisation decisions on the client&rsquo;s side, forced browsing, etc.)

Insecure Authorisation

Client code quality is synonymous with &ldquo;Security Decisions Via Untrusted Inputs&rdquo;. This category is one of our lesser-used and serves as a catch-all for code-level implementation problems in the mobile client. This class would capture problems such as buffer overflows, format string vulnerabilities, and various other code-level issues for which the solution is to rewrite some code that is running on a mobile device.

Client Code Quality

Code tampering covers binary patching, local resource modification, method hooking, method swizzling, and dynamic memory modification. Once the application gets delivered to the mobile device, the code and data resources are resident there. An attacker can either directly modify the code, change the contents of memory dynamically, change or replace the system APIs that the application uses, or modify the application&rsquo;s data and resources. This can provide the attacker with a direct method of subverting the intended use of the software for personal or monetary gain.

Code Tempering

Reverse engineering involves the analysis of the final core binary to determine its source code, libraries, algorithms, and other assets. Software such as IDA Pro, Hopper, otool, and other binary inspection tools give the attacker insight into the inner workings of the application. Such an approach may be used to exploit other nascent vulnerabilities in the application, as well as reveal information about back-end servers, cryptographic constants and ciphers (or cyphers), and intellectual property.

Reverse Engineering

Developers often include hidden backdoor functionality or other internal development security controls that are not intended to get released into a production environment. For example, a developer may accidentally include a password as a comment in a hybrid application. Another example comprises the disabling of a two-stage authentication during testing.

Extraneous Functionality

Malicious hackers can penetrate organisations&rsquo; infrastructure through vulnerabilities in their network, systems and applications to steal or manipulate data. Every company&mdash;small or large&mdash;is vulnerable to attacks.

Our experts can help organizations understand the weaknesses in their systems that hackers can exploit by performing internal and external penetration tests before recommending appropriate measures and assist them in their implementation.

If performed correctly, a vulnerability assessment can suggest organisations in what cybersecurity resources to invest. If performed incorrectly, a vulnerability assessment will leave their infrastructure open to attacks.

Infrastructure Penetration Testing

Our method involves an end to end testing of mobile applications on iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile platforms and seeks to address the following critical causes of vulnerabilities

Mobile Application Penetration Testing

RFID technology makes use of electromagnetic fields to identify and track tags (containing data in electronic form) attached to objects&mdash; active or passive.

RFID tags are used in various industries, for example, to monitor the progress of goods through assembly lines.

RFID tags are susceptible to abuse by anyone with specific tools and knowledge. Attackers could analyse the working frequency of such labels, and then decrypt or copy the data stored in them. Such tracking of RFID tags is illegal and can compromise personal, corporate and national security.

We can help organisations discover specific vulnerabilities associated with RFID tags and recommend bespoke solutions to meet their specific requirements.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

Some major banks have commissioned card-less ATMs in their branches lately, but that may not be sufficient to protect them from fraudsters. Regardless of any system used to conduct the transactions, fraudsters will always look for weaknesses to exploit. Banks&rsquo; mobile applications send codes to customer&rsquo;s phones. On entering the codes in the ATM, customers can access their accounts, which transfers the risk from magnetic stripes of ATM cards to the mobile devices themselves.

Whether banks use a conventional ATM or a cash-less one, it is imperative that they get their systems examined for vulnerabilities which may be exploited by malicious hackers. And they have to have their systems adequately penetration tested.

Automated Teller Machine (ATM)

An EDC works to make use of Point of Sale (POS) terminals for credit card processing in addition to its submission with the e-commerce providers of merchant accounts or other types of credit card processors.

Security audits often get done for EDC solutions as part of Managed Services or standalone models. Such inspections tend to focus on the security posture of an EDC machine itself, its surrounding infrastructure, and the security traffic of the EDC machine.

ITSEC Asia&rsquo;s experts are adept at guiding organisations through performing specialised security audits and penetrating testing the EDC systems.

Executive Messaging

As you may already know, the financial services sector continues to be a top target for sophisticated criminal attacks. We have witnessed several organizations that have had their SWIFT platforms hacked by organized cybercrime groups, resulting in multi-million-dollar losses. The following are some sample cybersecurity threats and incidents related to the SWIFT environment based on the SWIFT ISAC Security Bulletin. An unknown actor turns a legitimate remote access tool into a threat:

<img alt="" src="https://itsec.asia//storage/photos/shares/Audit/swift assessment-01 black bg.png" style="height:500px; width:1000px" />



In response, the SWIFT Society introduced a customer security program (CSP), requiring all participants to implement core security standards. Additionally, a customer security assurance framework (CSCF) was introduced, mandating SWIFT members to self-attest their compliance with mandatory (and optional advisory) security controls annually. Over time, mandatory controls may change as the threat landscape evolves, and some advisory controls may become mandatory.

An attestation must be submitted against the new version of CSCF every year.

It explores operational weaknesses in data centres in order to determine the level and type of security that should be established to protect the facility.

In the financial services industry, the security requirements are amongst the most stringent. Various government bodies require the financial services providers to comply with local regulatory requirements. This can affect in many instances also foreign firms that are engaging in local business activities. This adds more complexities for businesses&mdash;locally and transnationally.

Financial institutions are often required to undergo TVRA assessment, such as auditing of data centres for security, evaluation of the safety controls, including hosted data centres, in order to demonstrate that their data centre assets meet the legal requirements.

The analysis of threats and vulnerabilities relating to data centres vary, depending on several factors: the criticality of a data centre, the geographic location, the tenant type, the potential impact from disasters, political environment, etc.

ITSEC Asia can help organisations to comply with the requirements of protecting and safeguarding their technology assets with a risk-based approach TVRA. We apply the method to every asset individually depending on the elements that have to be assessed.

Organisations often need security experts to monitor and review security logs, events, and alerts in order to detect any malicious activity quickly and effectively.

Log analysis in real-time and in bulk after storage requires special skills. It requires expertise to make sense of vast amounts of computer-generated records. A proper analysis of the records will assist within a security or audit compliance issues, digital forensics, security incident responses, or system troubleshooting.

Our Security Monitoring service covers the monitoring and analysis of organisations&rsquo; security logs and alerts. It is offered across virtually any security technology and critical information asset in an enterprise. The service helps to identify anomalies and provides a response to threats in real-time.

Regulatory compliance is facilitated when organisations can establish controls and generate digitally signed reports containing all the activity from across their environment.ITSEC Asia&rsquo;s consultants map varying terminologies from different log sources into a uniform, normalised language to derive reports and statistics. A heterogeneous environment is created, in which the detection of failed processes, network outages, or protocol failures becomes easier.

Security Monitoring

Cloud computing allows ubiquitous access to shared pools of configurable system resources and higher-level services often over the Internet. The advantages are increased agility, flexibility, and optimised performance.

Un-monitored cloud logs can pose a threat to critical data and system security. Monitoring of these logs is therefore crucial.Our cloud monitoring service increases organisations&rsquo; efficiency by identifying critical threats proactively.

Cloud Security Monitoring

Cybercriminals are using savvy methods in order to circumvent conventional security controls. A failing to detect vulnerabilities and response to threats is often based on an over dependence on technology combined with a lack of experience.

Research by acclaimed industry experts supports the above statement. It has been revealed that the main reasons why organisations fail to prevent a security breach: the attack circumvented existing preventive security controls (65%) and lack of in-house expertise (35%). Cybercriminals are creating increasingly sophisticated malware designed to evade security defences, enter systems from an endpoint to the network and prey upon weak response measures. These &lsquo;zero-day&rsquo; threats make malware harder to detect. Most organisations&rsquo; security teams often have not seen similar malware before and have no countermeasures in place to prevent the intrusion.

Since these new threats can compromise sensitive data, it is imperative that organisations have a solution that ensures the right technology, intelligence, and expertise are in place to detect and respond to advanced and evasive threats.

ITSEC Asia&rsquo;s Advanced Malware Protection and Detection (AMPD) service provides a top layer of defence against rising zero-day threats by inspecting enterprise emails, files, and web traffic. Upon detection of compromised patterns, our security consultants use the information gathered to analyse the events and to provide organisations with actionable data so that they can respond to the threat quickly.

Managed Enterprise Network Monitoring

Firewalls that protect enterprise networks play a crucial role. They act on the front line of defence.



Security staff responsible for administering firewalls have a lot of responsibility. They have to ensure that only the right kind of traffic gets through when it should, and all the bad traffic gets blocked.



Firewall monitoring is a tedious task. It requires that security policies on firewall devices are continuously updated and that suitable controls are in place at all time.



Firewall administration and management is also resourceintensive and requires a high level of expertise. The potential risk of inadequate firewall management is high. Security policies and configurations on firewall devices must be updated regularly to ensure appropriate access controls are consistent with changing business environments. Monitoring of network firewall traffic must be in place to continuously identify and respond to threats before potential damage can occur



Our Firewall Monitoring and Management service provides firewall administration, log monitoring, and response to security and device health events. Security and health events are correlated across organisations&rsquo; environment and analysed by our security consultants. Our consultants use global threat intelligence and have proven expertise in the assessment of threats. When a threat is detected, our experts respond immediately to counter the threat and protect organisations.



Intelligence gathered from our yearslong experience is continuously fed into the Firewall Management service in order to strengthen policies and analysis of firewall logs. We deliver a continuously improved service

Our key services are:

<ul>
	<li>Protection of systems and data through monitoring and detection of threats before the damage occurs.</li>
	<li>Removal of the management and monitoring burden: free up resources and reduce overheads by leveraging our experts.</li>
	<li>Supporting compliance initiatives: meet requirements for perimeter security, access control, and log analysis.</li>
</ul>

Firewall Monitoring and Management

A Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution contains two segments of security management: the Security Event Management (SEM) and the Security Information Management (SIM). The former provides for real-time event monitoring, correlation of events, and notifications. The latter takes care of storage, analysis, manipulation, and reporting of data collated by the SEM segment.

Many enterprises use SIEM systems to help detecting suspicious activity on their networks. However, to be effective, SIEM systems require a lot of expertise. A SIEM system can collect millions of security events per day, but many of these may be false positive alerts. Monitoring a SIEM system twenty four seven can be challenging. Furthermore, an adequate response to real threats needs to be available. If enterprise SIEM system does not get monitored correctly and actual threat-bearing events do not get actioned upon, a security breach is all but certain. A SIEM system&rsquo;s correlation rules require constant maintenance and amendments. Many organisations fail to exploit SIEM systems fully because they do not have the expertise, the time, or the resources. ITSEC Asia&rsquo;s security experts can help organisations fully manage their SIEM system to let them truly benefit from their investment in it.

We offer:

<ul>
	<li>An increase in organisations&rsquo; capability in monitoring suspicious security events.</li>
	<li>o ensure compliance with any regulation which requires adequacy of the security event monitoring process.</li>
	<li>To allow cost cuts with our managed service at competitive rates.</li>
</ul>

Managed Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)

Numerous security measures can be implemented to create an effective information security program, but there are two tools organisations shouldn&rsquo;t be without: Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and Intrusion Detection System devices (IDS).

IPS/IDS devices need two things to provide a useful layer of security. The instruments must be tuned to the network they monitor and tuned-in to the latest threats.

To analyse big data and to know what action to take is difficult. IDS devices generate thousands of alerts daily, many of which are false positive results. Keeping the IPS/IDS devices tuned, up-to-date, and monitored appropriately can become a heavy burden especially given new emerging threats. Shifting this burden to a managed service staffed with security device experts can offer relief, along with improved insights that help organisations take the right action to remediate identified threats.

Enable a more efficient operation of the IDS/IPS by using our team of experts. We manage the maintenance, administration, and monitoring of the IDS/IPS in order to achieve another layer of excellent security.

If organisations are using Cisco, McAfee, Fortinet, Sourcefire, IBM, TippingPoint, Juniper devices, we can help them with a variety of tasks to ensure high performance, including: &bull; Device provisioning and deployment.

<ul>
	<li>Performance and availability management.</li>
	<li>Device upgrades and patch management.</li>
	<li>Policy and signature management.</li>
	<li>Real-time threat monitoring and response.</li>
	<li>Integrated intelligence.</li>
	<li>On-demand security and compliance reporting.</li>
	<li>Flexible co-management options.</li>
	<li>Unlimited expert support.</li>
	<li>Auditable and accurate change management.</li>
	<li>Enterprise-class backup and recovery.</li>
</ul>

Our service includes:

<ul>
	<li>Improving IDS/IPS effectiveness: expert signature tuning and device management in order to ensure that organisations get the maximum value out of their devices. We conduct extensive base-lining to tailor detection and alerting to their network.</li>
	<li>Identification and response to threats faster: our security consultants monitor enterprise IDS/IPS alerts in real time. When a real threat gets identified, they alert immediately and help organisations to respond quickly.</li>
	<li>Bolstering security with advanced intelligence: our visibility into billions of events per day enables us to identify and develop countermeasures for emerging threats. We correlate this intelligence with IDS events seen across our customer base and feed it back into our services to strengthen analysis.</li>
	<li>Gain of visibility into security activity with regular reports that allow organisations to comply with the regulatory requirements easily</li>
</ul>

Intrusion Protection System (IPS) and Intrusion Detection System (IDS) Management

ITSEC Asia’s Managed Security  Devices service helps organisations streamline the management and monitoring of their firewall, Intrusion Detection System (IDS), and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) devices

Managed Security Devices

To achieve that level of visibility, organisations need log management, a security control which addresses all system and network logs. Many companies work with firewalls and Intrusion Protection Systems (IPS) and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). But often an important step is not included in their security management program&mdash;log management.

Log management deals with large volumes of computer-generated log messages, including audit records, audit trails, event logs. And it usually covers the following parameters:

By collecting and analysing logs, organisations can understand what transpires within their network. Log files can have the size of a few KB to few GB and contain many pieces of information, some of them might be invaluable. With appropriate analysis of this log data, organisations can identify intrusion attempts, misconfigured equipment, and more.

Log Collection

Log aggregation is an excellent way to bring together all logs into one location. It is critical to investigate all logs generated by all devices, and this is especially true if the locations and formats of these files are different.

There are various methods and tools organisations can employ to aggregate logs. Our experts can advise which method is most suitable for a particular organisation depending on their system architecture.

Log Aggregation

When logs are collected, they also need to be preserved, compressed, encrypted, and stored. Especially large organisations need to critically analyse the functionality in their log management, so that a solution can be found as to where logs should be stored geographically. This will also help in achieving compliance requirements and ensure scalability.

Our consultants can help organisations to develop a strategy on log storage and retention that best fits their requirements

Log Storage, Rotation, and Retention

Every organisation, regardless of size, needs secure IT. However, to secure  their infrastructure adequatelyfrom cyber threats requires knowledge of what transpires in their environment.
