Say goodbye to standard security for smartphones (you need this instead) - CyberTalk

By Zahier Madhar, Lead Security Engineer and Office of the CTO, Check Point.

Smartphones play a pivotal role in all of our lives. In a way, smartphones today are a sort of a diary, storing pictures, organizing them and displaying them in a story telling modality. Smartphones are much more than a piece of technology that allows you to make phone calls and send text messages.

Many people, before they go to bed, they have their smartphones in their hands; they are getting the latest updates, finishing some work, or watching a movie or video shorts. And once they wake up, the first activity of the day consists of picking up the smartphone, checking the time and seeing about whether or not they have missed any updates.

Smartphones: dual uses

That very same smartphone is often used for business purposes as well; such attending or hosting meetings, emails and managing an agenda. The dual-purpose dimension is also the case with a laptop (used for both private and business purposes). The biggest different between a laptop and a smartphone is that a smartphone is always turned on and connected to the internet, while a laptop, not-so-much.

A second difference is that a laptop is managed and has a threat prevention application on it. In contrast, smartphones are, in many cases, managed by the organization but not secured by a threat prevention application.  However, the smartphone contains the same mix of private data and business related data as the laptop. See the problem?

The bakery next door

In a previous Cyber Talk thought leadership article, I talked about the bakery next door. The bakery next door can use a smartphone to get the status of the ovens, but also to control the ovens. Imagine if the baker’s smartphone were hacked and hackers took control over the most important ovens. This would impact the bakery’s output immediately. This is not just a theory; this could happen. Although this example is small-scale, the implications are immense; lack of smartphone security can jeopardize a business.

History of mobile threats

Malware targeting smartphones is not new. The difference today compared with 20 years ago is that the smartphone holds sensitive data; sensitive data on private and business level.

The question is why do organization fail to install mobile anti-malware on the smartphones? I believe it has to do with awareness, costs, and user experience or they think it is not needed (especially for iOS users).

iOS cyber security

Despite popular belief, it is possible to install malware on iOS devices and since the EU’s Digital Markets Act of 2022 came about, Apple has been forced to allow also apps outside the App store on its phones.

But regulating smartphones based on unified endpoint management and mobile device management is not enough. The reason why is simple: These security tools do not contain security controls for inspecting apps, network connections and interfaces in regards to malicious behavior.

Malware prevention

Let’s get back to the bakery next door. The baker uses his smartphone for daily business (baking bread-related tasks) and also for personal use. To avoid getting infected by malware, the baker does not install apps outside of the App store, does not scan QR codes and does not connect to public wifi.

As with his laptop, he makes sure that the smartphone and his apps are always updated with the latest software releases. Still, this is not enough. The baker won’t successfully avoid SMS phishing, malicious websites and network related attacks by taking those steps. To truly advance his security, the baker needs to install a mobile security solution that protects the smartphone from mobile security risks.

The baker is lucky because he relies on a cyber security vendor partner to deliver a platform and he can simply apply mobile security, in addition to the other security controls that have been delivered, through the platform.

In other words, what the baker has is a consolidated cyber security platform with threat prevention, ensuring that his business won’t be disrupted by opportunistic hackers.

Key takeaways

As I mentioned earlier, smartphones have become day-to-day essentials, shaping our social interactions and business operations. However, they also present security risks, as they contain sensitive personal and business information. Here are some tips to enhance smartphone security:

1. Stick to official app stores for downloading apps.

2. Avoid connecting to public wifi networks.

3. Consider installing a mobile threat prevention application.

As a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), it’s crucial to treat smartphones with the same level of security awareness as laptops. Incorporate them into your awareness campaigns and ensure they are regularly updated with the latest patches.

Implement mobile threat prevention solutions like Harmony Mobile from Check Point to serve as a security enforcement point for your Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) or Mobile Device Management (MDM) system.

These measures will enhance security maturity and provide visibility into potential malicious activities on mobile devices within your organization.

Galactic War Status: Days 50 + 51

Returning back to our schedule, let's get started on our recap.

On the beginning of Day 50, the major order to retake and hold onto land stolen by the Terminids was pronounced a success. Although many planets still remain in the clutches of the bugs, their numbers are far fewer than they could have been. For now, the liberation of these remaining planets will have to wait, as something big has begun to brew in the Automaton sectors.

On planet X-45, a hidden away planet the Automatons originally seemed to miss in their ruthless expansion, Super Earth has deemed fit to re-access a long-since abandoned research lab for advanced weaponry. Originally evacuated due to the entire planet's unusually high level of radioactivity, with the cause unknown, this research base purportedly holds the secrets to something that the Federation is referring to as an 'interplanetary battle station." Whatever such a station would actually be armed with or otherwise entail is currently unclear, but Super Earth has deemed current radiation levels to be low enough to retrieve any schematics that may be found inside the facility.

In a stroke of misfortune, however, the Automatons have already begun mobilizing towards the planet themselves. The coincidental timing of this has led High Command to believe that the robots are infiltrating Super Earth channels and databases through "malicious and deceitful" cyber attacks. 

As most forms of malware, viruses, and otherwise are often cut off at the source in Super Earth society, often with those responsible sent to re-education camps, it is very possible that a populace uneducated in cyber security, even those among the ranks of the SEAF, would be all too trusting of otherwise suspicious messages and offers from unknown sources. It would potentially be all too easy for bot networks to infiltrate Federation communications.

Returning to the topic of the new major order, High Command has ordered the Helldivers to hold the Automatons from X-45 at all costs. Considering the overwhelming force they now represent, this is going to be a tall order, but it's not the only card up Super Earth's sleeve. As the Helldivers valiantly scrap with the bots, the rest of SEAF are massing on Aesir Pass for a push straight through the machines' territory in order to relieve the Helldivers and provide a more direct warp link route to the core systems.

Hopefully, they can make it in time. The consequences of such plans being recovered by the Automatons instead of us…well, I hesitate to think of it.

Throughout Day 50, a direct assault on X-45 was repelled. Wezen was lost to the red-eyed menace as the Helldivers instead consolidated their forces on Meissa. Progress was slow but steady.

On Day 51, X-45 suffered another assault coming from the direction of Meissa. It, too, was snuffed out, and progress on Meissa continued in the hopes of establishing a protective barrier of planets surrounding X-45, cutting off direct assaults.

Day 52 is now ongoing with promising progress, and there is a possibility that the lab also contains a cache of weapons dating back to the first Galactic War, but it's too early to be sure. For now, that's all we have!

Give 'em Hell, Divers!

How to rebuild trust after a cyber security breach - CyberTalk

How to rebuild trust after a cyber security breach - CyberTalk

By Rupal Hollenbeck, President, Check Point

With cyber attacks rising and trust in institutions declining, having a cyber security resilience plan is essential for business

Consolidating fragmented cyber security systems is the key preventative strategy

Strong communications with customers is equally important in the aftermath to re-establish trust

The last several years have fundamentally changed the way we live and work. The shift to remote and hybrid work has produced significant disruption, which in turn has led to technology innovation. This enabled people to connect to their workplaces and stay productive from outside the traditional security perimeter through new platform tools, workforce collaboration solutions, internal messaging integrations, remote training and more.

At the height of this innovation, however, collective trust in institutions experienced decline. In 2019, approximately 64% of respondents indicated a degree of trust in big business, according to Gallup. By 2023, that had declined by eight percentage points, while the share of people expressing very little or no trust at all in big business jumped seven percentage points to 43%.

Rebuilding trust has been a priority for companies everywhere, but there are notable headwinds slowing this process down. Unfortunately, we get news of security breaches at major institutions with alarming regularity. It’s no wonder that in this threat environment, businesses are struggling to rebuild trust with their customers. Naturally, this involves establishing a strong, proactive and preventative cyber security posture. It also means developing a resilience plan for when a cyber security incident occurs to limit the impact from a technical, organizational and financial point of view.

Before it happens

The first and most important element is to focus on prevention. Consolidation is the best way to achieve this. Industry did well to produce the innovation the market needed to facilitate the first phase of the rapid transition to cloud, but we’ve matured past these products’ ability to provide comprehensive protection. Most companies have adopted a host of point products to execute different kinds of business. This has produced sprawling, inadequately secured networks. It’s a patchwork system, and organizations, as a result, end up with patchwork coverage incapable of evolving with the company, all while paying a premium by dealing with multiple vendors. And threat actors have taken notice. The number of data breaches experienced in private industry has more than doubled since 2019, according to Verizon’s Data Breach Incident Report.

Executives understand this: Research from Gartner shows 75% of organizations are consolidating security vendors, up from 29% in 2020. Secure access service edge (SASE) and extended detection and response (XDR) technologies are a good starting point for the consolidation journey, as these solutions secure access for distributed users and enable teams to detect and respond to threats, respectively. Most importantly, these solutions are designed not only to respond to threats, but identify and prevent them from turning into breaches. When deployed in a consolidated platform with complete interoperability with the rest of the security suite, they offer greater visibility and security by transforming the toolset into a proactive, prevention-oriented program, limiting the potential fallout from a breach before it even happens. When a security incident does occur, customers can be confident that the systems are in place to limit how much damage an intruder can do, which in turn lays a foundation to rebuild trust for the future.

When it happens

While a strong security posture can prevent the worst outcomes, threat actors only need to get lucky once. No organization is completely immune to breach. The damage from these incidents can range from monetary damages to broad loss of confidence in the company’s ability to do business safely. How does a company rebuild trust after this kind of unauthorized access?

First, you need to limit the damage. That’s why the first step to rebuilding trust is a proactive one: Build a consolidated, prevention-focused security posture, and you’ll be able to limit the fallout. If you’re unable to do so before an incident, it should be the first objective after restoring business operations. Customers will need to know that prevention is your first priority.

The key to rebuilding trust over time is to communicate. The company must demonstrate that they are acting according to a cohesive strategy. This will always include appropriate disclosures. Prompt and transparent disclosure of a breach is important, and most jurisdictions require one to be made “without unreasonable delay”, so there’s a compliance element to this. Beyond that, it enables the appropriate parties to take action to protect themselves or even help develop a fix.

Special communications should go to customers. If continuity of operations has been interrupted, provide a timeline that the company can stick to, if possible. Alert customers to their own potential exposure, and provide the tools to remediate as soon as they’re available.

Your external communications – whether that’s in the press, social media or on the company blog – must be informational, action-oriented and clear about the scope of the damage. Most importantly, these communications must highlight what the company has done to address the breach, how this fits into a broader strategy, and why a similar incident won’t compromise them in the future. Avoid taking a defensive posture, and instead approach the situation as partners.

Essentially, responding to a breach is about people, process and technology in that order. Make sure the people impacted are in the loop with consistent and clear communications first and foremost. Identify and fix process and technology failures during remediation.

Confidence is key for cyber security

Ultimately, there is no replacement in modern business for building a prevention-focused cyber security posture. A company that fails to prioritize cyber security is a soft target for threat actors of all stripes. Trust requires confidence that your partner is acting to protect your mutual interests, and that means investing in consolidated cyber security that evolves along with your business and, crucially, the threat environment.

Be prompt and transparent in your disclosures and communications – delays expand the window for additional damage and obfuscation degrades customer and public trust in the statements you do make. You must give customers and the public good reasons to trust you. Building trust takes time, and there’s no substitute for a track record. As a result, strong, consolidated cyber security is already serving as a differentiator.

### Understanding Crypto Wallets and Private Keys

A crypto wallet is a tool that allows users to interact with blockchain networks. Contrary to popular belief, wallets don’t actually store cryptocurrencies. Instead, they store the private and public keys needed to access and manage your crypto on the blockchain.

- **Private Key**: A secret alphanumeric string that grants the wallet owner access to their funds. It must be kept secure at all costs because anyone with access to your private key can control your assets. - **Public Key**: A cryptographic code that acts as the address for receiving funds. This is safe to share with others to receive cryptocurrency.

There are two main types of wallets: **custodial** and **non-custodial**. Custodial wallets are typically managed by exchanges or third-party services, while non-custodial wallets give users complete control over their keys.

### Types of Crypto Wallets

1. **Hardware Wallets (Cold Storage)** Hardware wallets are physical devices designed to store your private keys offline, providing a high level of security. Because they are not connected to the internet, they are less vulnerable to hacking attempts.

- **Pros**: Extremely secure, offline storage, protected from most online threats. — **Cons**: Requires physical access, initial cost for purchasing the device.

Popular options: Ledger, Trezor

2. **Software Wallets (Hot Wallets)** Software wallets are applications or software programs installed on your device (mobile or desktop) that store your private keys. These wallets are connected to the internet, making them more convenient for frequent transactions but also more vulnerable to cyber-attacks.

- **Pros**: Easy access, quick transactions, often free. — **Cons**: Greater exposure to online threats, reliant on the security of your device.

Popular options: MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Exodus

3. **Paper Wallets** A paper wallet is a physical document containing your private and public keys, typically generated using an offline method. It’s an effective way to store crypto offline, but it requires careful handling.

- **Pros**: Completely offline, no electronic exposure. — **Cons**: Easily damaged or lost, harder to manage.

4. **Web Wallets** Web wallets are accessible via browsers and typically managed by third parties (like exchanges). While convenient for trading and accessing funds quickly, they are less secure since your private keys are often stored on external servers.

- **Pros**: Easy to use, accessible from any device with internet access. — **Cons**: Vulnerable to hacks, relies on third-party security.

Popular options: Coinbase, Binance, Kraken Wallet

### Best Practices for Protecting Your Private Keys

1. **Use Hardware Wallets for Long-Term Storage** For large amounts of cryptocurrency or long-term holdings, it’s best to use a hardware wallet. This reduces your exposure to online attacks and provides an extra layer of security for your private keys. Ensure you store the hardware wallet in a safe, secure location.

2. **Never Share Your Private Key** The golden rule of crypto security: **never share your private key** with anyone. Be extremely cautious of phishing attempts, fraudulent websites, and scams that may ask for your private key under false pretenses.

3. **Back Up Your Wallet** Always back up your wallet, especially when using software or paper wallets. Most wallets offer a **seed phrase** (also called a recovery phrase) during setup, which is a series of words that can be used to recover your wallet. Write this seed phrase down and store it in multiple secure locations. Never store it digitally, as that increases the risk of exposure to online threats.

4. **Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)** When using web or software wallets, always enable 2FA for an additional layer of security. This will require a second form of authentication (like an SMS code or authentication app) before allowing access to your account, making it harder for attackers to compromise your wallet.

5. **Update and Secure Your Devices** Ensure your devices (computer, smartphone, tablet) are secure by using up-to-date antivirus software, firewalls, and regular system updates. Keeping your device’s software updated helps prevent vulnerabilities that could expose your private keys.

6. **Be Cautious of Public Wi-Fi** Avoid accessing your crypto wallet or performing transactions over public Wi-Fi, which can be insecure and open to attacks like man-in-the-middle attacks. Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) for added security when accessing your wallet from less secure networks.

7. **Split Your Funds** Instead of storing all your funds in one wallet, consider splitting them across multiple wallets. You could keep smaller amounts in a hot wallet for daily use and the bulk of your assets in cold storage (hardware wallet). This way, even if one wallet is compromised, the majority of your funds will remain secure.

8. **Watch for Scams and Phishing** Always double-check the authenticity of websites, apps, and emails claiming to be associated with your wallet. Scammers often create convincing replicas to trick users into revealing their private keys or recovery phrases. Only download wallet apps from trusted sources.

9. **Use Multi-Signature Wallets** Multi-signature (or multi-sig) wallets require multiple keys to authorize a transaction. This feature is useful for enhanced security, especially for institutional investors or businesses, as it requires more than one person’s approval before funds can be moved.

### Conclusion: Keep Your Keys, Keep Your Coins

Securing your private keys is paramount to ensuring that your cryptocurrency remains safe. With the right wallet type and security measures, you can significantly reduce the risk of losing access to your funds. Remember, the responsibility of safeguarding your digital assets rests with you, so taking proactive steps to protect your keys is essential in the world of crypto.

By following the best practices outlined in this guide, you can minimize your exposure to threats and confidently manage your crypto holdings. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned investor, staying informed and vigilant is the key to protecting your wealth in the digital age.
