The NIST ‘Recover’ Domain – The importance of a good Disaster Recovery Plan

Geplaatst op: 29 August 2024

Last month was another one of those days, there was a global disruption caused by a bug in software. Unfortunately, the error turned out to be so severe that Windows machines went into a blue-screen of death (BOSD). So even though CrowdStrike had fixed the issue within 90 minutes and stopped pushing the faulty update, the damage had been done. I sympathise with the IT departments that had to deal with this as this must have caused massive chaos. This incident, where problems with CrowdStrike security software led to computer system failures worldwide, highlights the need for a robust Disaster Recovery (DR) plan. This article discusses the importance of a good DR plan and highlights the essential steps: inventory, plan, test, learn and repeat.

Inventory: understand what you need to protect

The first step in creating an effective DR plan is taking an inventory. This involves making a complete and detailed list of all critical IT assets within your organization.

This includes servers, network equipment, software applications, data storage and even physical locations. Understanding which systems and data are critical to your core processes helps prioritize protection measures, as well as develop a plan.

When taking inventory, it is important to also identify dependencies between systems. This means understanding how different components of your IT infrastructure are connected and how a failure in one system can impact other systems. It’s advisable here to look especially at the organization’s core processes and, from that perspective, determine how to get these processes back up and running when things go wrong.

Plan: develop a strategic DR plan

With a thorough inventory, you can move on to the planning phase. A strategic DR plan should include clear procedures for different disaster scenarios, such as natural disasters, cyber attacks, hardware failures and human error. It is essential to assign specific responsibilities to team members and ensure that everyone knows what is expected of them in case of an emergency.

A good DR plan also includes a communication plan. This plan should describe how to communicate internally and externally during and after a disaster. The CrowdStrike incident highlights the importance of transparent communication to prevent panic and keep customers and partners informed of the recovery measures taken.

Test: ensure regular exercises

A DR plan is only as effective as the testing you do. Regular tests are crucial to verify that your plan works in practice. This can range from tabletop exercises, where you theoretically walk through disaster scenarios, to full-scale tests where you assess the operation of your DR plan in a realistic situation.

Testing your DR plan helps identify weaknesses and potential bottlenecks. By uncovering these problems before a real disaster strikes, you can ensure that your plan remains up-to-date and effective.

Learn: draw lessons from every incident

After every test or actual disaster, it’s important to carry out an evaluation and learn from the experience. This process includes analyzing what went well, what did not go well and what improvements can be made. Learning from incidents and tests helps to continuously improve and adapt your DR plan to new threats and technologies.

Repeat: continuous improvement and updating

Developing a DR plan is not a one-off task. It is an ongoing process that needs to be repeated and updated regularly. Technologies evolve, new threats emerge and business needs change. By regularly reviewing and updating your DR plan, you can ensure that you are always prepared for the latest challenges.

The CrowdStrike incident highlights how vulnerable even the most sophisticated IT systems can be and how important it is to have a robust and up-to-date DR plan. By taking inventory, planning, testing, learning and repeating, you can minimize the impact of disasters and ensure the continuity of your business processes. The IT chain is only as strong as its weakest link!

Of course, it is good to keep in mind that despite CrowdStrike causing this catarostrophic incident, they still prevented more downtime for customers than they caused.

The NIST ‘Identify’ Domain – The Foundation of Cybersecurity

Geplaatst op: 27 August 2024

This blog addresses an important part of cyber security: the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. This framework has five domains, each addressing a different aspect of cyber security. Let’s start at the beginning with the first domain: ‘Identify’ and the 5 main sub-topics within this domain: Asset Management, Risk Management, Supply Chain Management, Data Classification, and Cyber security Roles and Responsibilities. These topics form the foundation from which you build all your cyber security measures. If you get this right you’re well on your way to protecting your organization.

Asset management: knowing what you’ve got

Asset Management is all about knowing what you’ve got. Think of every device, system, software, and bit of data your company uses. It’s the first step in the ‘Identify’ domain for a reason. It’s tough to protect something if you don’t even know it’s there. Just like when you do a big spring clean, you need to know what’s in your house before deciding what’s important and what can go. Keeping an inventory helps you figure out which assets are most critical and need the most protection. It also helps avoid surprises when something goes wrong.

4 tips for successful Asset Management:

  • Take a full inventory: Start with a detailed list of all physical and digital assets. Automated tools can make this less labor-intensive, which makes keeping your inventory up-to-date easier.
  • Categorize Your Assets: Classify assets based on their importance to your business and their risk sensitivity.
  • Keep your inventory up-to-date: Perform regular new scans and audits, especially after major changes or purchases.
  • Label your assets: use labels or barcodes to easily identify and track your assets..

Risk Management: Detect problems before they happen

Once you know what your assets are, you need to think about risks. Risk Management is about identifying and understanding the potential threats to your assets. Get creative with “what if” scenarios. Ask questions like: What if there’s a data breach? What if a critical server crashes? A good risk management strategy prepares you for the unexpected and minimizes the impact of potential incidents.

How do you succesfully apply Risk Managament?

  • Perform regular Risk Assessments: Analyze your systems and processes regularly to identify and prioritize risks.
  • Use a Risk Management Framework: Implement a structured framework, like NIST, COSO or ISO 27001, to manage your risks.
  • Involve the entire organization: Make risk management an organization-wide responsibility, instead of leaving it to the IT department.
  • Develop Incident Response Plans: Create and practice incident response plans so you can react quickly to security incidents.
  • Stay on top of new threats: Keep yourself and your team constantly updated on the latest threats and developments in the cyber security world.

Supply Chain Management: keeping an eye out on your partners

Your cyber resilience is only as strong as your weakest link, and we’ve become increasingly connected and dependent on our connections with others. To properly protect yourself, you must strengthen all links. This includes suppliers and partners. Supply Chain Management means paying attention to the cybersecurity measures and resilience of your suppliers and partners. It’s about knowing who has access to your data and systems and ensuring they follow the same strict security measures as you do. This helps prevent security issues outside your direct control.

5 Tips for Effective Supply Chain Management:

  • Screen your suppliers: Do your research before adding a new supplier
  • Set clear requirements: Clearly state the security measures you expect from your suppliers and formalize them in contracts.
  • Continuous monitoring: Continue to keep an eye on your suppliers’ cyber security practices.
  • Regular Communication: Maintain open and regular communication with your suppliers about security expectations and updates.
  • Conduct Audits: Schedule periodic audits of your most critical suppliers to ensure they continue to meet your requirements.

Data Classification: knowing what needs protection

Not all data is created equal. Data Classification is about organizing your data based on sensitivity and importance to the business. The classification is based on the confidentiality and sensitivity of the information. In essence, it comes down to how much impact an incident involving the confidentiality, integrity or availability with this information, has on the organization. Personal customer data, for example, needs more protection than a picture of a company outing. By properly classifying your data, you ensure that you provide the right protection where it’s most needed.

How to effectively implement Data Classification:

  • Define classification levels: Establish clear categories for your data, such as public, internal, confidential and strictly confidential.
  • Use labels: Label your data automatically based on their classification to reduce manual errors.
  • Implement access control: Limit access to sensitive data to only those employees who really need it. And monitor and use and disseminate this information (DLP).
  • Keep the Policy Up-to-Date: Regularly review and update the data classification policy to keep up with new threats and be able to take appropriate action.

Cybersecurity Roles and Responsibilities: Who Does What?

A strong cybersecurity strategy isn’t just about technology; it’s also about people. Cybersecurity involves everyone in the organization. It’s crucial to define clear roles and responsibilities so everyone knows what’s expected of them. From the IT department to the executive team, everyone has a role to play. Clear responsibilities ensure no confusion about who does what during an incident.

How do you get clear what the cyber security roles and responsibilities are within your organization?

  • Define Roles and Responsibilities: Make a list of who is responsible for which aspects of cybersecurity. Include these roles and responsibilities in employees job descriptions.
  • Communicate clearly: Make sure everyone understands what responsibilities they have and why.
  • Training and awareness: Offer regular training to make employees aware of their role in security. Ensure management is involved and supports cybersecurity so the whole team sees the importance.
  • Evaluate and Improve: Regularly evaluate your cybersecurity roles and responsibilities to keep them relevant and effective.

In short…

The “Identify” domain of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework is like building a solid foundation for a house. Without it, everything you build runs the risk of collapsing. By focusing on Asset Management, Risk Management, Supply Chain Management, Data Classification, and Cybersecurity Roles Responsibilities, you lay the foundation for a strong and resilient cybersecurity stance. Having these things in order increases the organization’s cyber resilience, making you more resistant to incidents.

Experience first-hand how to implement a cyber security framework such as NIS2

Geplaatst op: 4 April 2024

The NIS2 and several solutions to help you become compliant have been hot topic for a while now. The advice we’ve brought out is trustworthy, of course, but all that information can make the process a bit confusing. Want to keep track? Try deploying a GRC tooling to keep an overview and link the different solutions together in a logical way.

NIS2: the next European directive on cyber security

NIS2, the second European directive on the security of your network and information systems, sets stringent requirements for organizations managing critical infrastructure or providing digital services. It aims to increase resilience to cyber threats and minimize the impact of incidents.

For companies, compliance with NIS2 means not only meeting legal requirements, but also protecting digital assets, ensuring business continuity and preventing financial and image damage.

The role of GRC tooling

Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) tooling provides organizations with a structured approach to managing regulatory requirements, risks and compliance processes. These tools automate and streamline the audit process, allowing organizations to save time and resources while still complying with complex regulations such as NIS2.

The benefits of GRC tooling for your own NIS2 audit

  • Centralization of data: GRC tooling provides a central repository for all relevant data related to cyber security and compliance, making it easier to manage, analyze and report data during an NIS2 audit.
  • Automating processes: By automating audit processes, such as evidence collection, audit validation and report generation, organizations can improve efficiency and minimize human error.
  • Risk management: GRC tools help identify, evaluate and manage risks that may affect NIS2 compliance. By addressing risks proactively, organizations can identify potential weaknesses and take corrective action before they become a problem.
  • Compliance controls: GRC tooling provides built-in controls to ensure that organizations comply with the requirements of NIS2. These controls can be tailored to the specific needs of the organization and help demonstrate compliance during an audit.

GRC tooling makes it easier

NIS2 compliance is a complex and challenging task that many organizations have to face on top of their own activities, but with the right approach and tools, they can take the necessary steps to meet the requirements and establish a stronger cyber security culture. GRC tooling provides an integrated and structured approach to managing regulatory requirements and risks, allowing organizations to remain compliant while maintaining operational efficiency.

Is there a weak link in my supply chain?

Geplaatst op: 26 March 2024

Supply chain security is a crucial part of cyber security that companies should not neglect. In the modern world, the supply chain represents a complicated network of interconnected systems, technologies and partners. This complexity makes it susceptible to cyber attacks that can cause significant damage to businesses, including the loss of sensitive information, intellectual property and financial consequences. In this blog, we will explore the significance of supply chain security for cyber security, discuss the risks associated with supply chain attacks and examine the measures companies can implement to strengthen supply chain security.

Associated risks

Supply chain attacks are becoming more frequent and pose a serious threat to businesses. These attacks target a company’s supply chain partners, such as suppliers, subcontractors or third-party service providers, to gain access to their systems and data. Once the attacker has gained access to the partner’s systems, this can be exploited to penetrate the target company’s systems and steal sensitive data or disrupt business operations.

Risks and impact of cyber attacks in the supply chain

  • Data theft: Cyber criminals can steal valuable information such as customer data, trade secrets and intellectual property from partners, which can cause serious financial damage and loss of reputation for the company.
  • Ransomware attacks: Hackers can install ransomware on supply chain partner systems encrypting data and demanding a ransom for release. If the company depends on this partner for its operations, the ransomware attack could cause significant disruptions.
  • Business interruption: Cyber attacks on partners can lead to disruptions in business operations, resulting in significant financial losses and reputational damage.

The crucial role of supply chain security in cyber security

It is an integral part of cyber security as it relates to protecting the entire ecosystem of suppliers, partners and service providers a company relies on for its operational processes. A cyber attack on any of these parties can have serious consequences, including loss of customer data, reputational damage and legal liability. Moreover, many companies today use cloud-based services, which increases the risk of cyber attacks on the supply chain. Because cloud service providers are responsible for managing infrastructure, data and applications, a security incident in their systems could potentially impact all businesses that depend on their services.

Effective risk management and trust building in supply chain security

By taking a proactive approach to supply chain security, companies can effectively manage the risks that can affect their organization. This includes strengthening relationships with suppliers and partners, as well as developing a clear understanding of each other’s security needs and responsibilities. This allows companies to recognize early warning signs of potential incidents that could affect the organisation and identify potential dependencies on specific suppliers. Moreover, companies with strong cyber security frameworks increase their chances of winning supplier contracts, especially those from the government where security requirements are often mandatory. By implementing a solid security structure and regularly assessing and auditing supply chain partners, companies can ensure that they and their partners meet the required security standards. This helps build trust with customers and stakeholders, while at the same time reducing the risks of supply chain attacks.

Strategies for improving supply chain security in companies

To strengthen supply chain security, companies can take the following measures:

  1. Conducting a risk assessment: identification and evaluation of risks associated with supply chain partners, including assessment of security measures, vulnerabilities and potential impact on business operations.
  2. Implement a security framework: Establish a framework of standards for supply chain partners, setting requirements for access management, incident response and security awareness training.
  3. Monitoring supply chain partners: Regular monitoring of supply chain partners for security breaches and anomalies, including establishing a process for reporting and responding to security incidents.
  4. Conduct regular audits: Periodic audits of supply chain partners to ensure compliance with the established security framework, including vulnerability assessments and penetration tests.
  5. Consider cyber insurance: Consider cyber insurance for financial protection in case of a cyber attack on supply chain partners, including coverage of data recovery costs, legal expenses and reputational damage.

Collaboration is Key

Supply chain security is a crucial part of cyber security that should not be overlooked by companies. With the increasing complexity of the supply chain ecosystem and the rise of cloud-based services, the risk of cyber attacks on the supply chain is higher than ever. By implementing a robust security framework, monitoring supply chain partners and conducting regular audits, companies can strengthen supply chain security and protect themselves from the devastating effects of supply chain attacks.
