Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-1891-03

By embracing a proactive approach to cyber-risk management, companies can better detect, prevent, and mitigate cyber threats while integrating the latest state-of-the-art technology.

COMMENTARY

In today's fast-paced world, most businesses are racing to incorporate the latest technology and innovations to meet the demands of customers craving convenience and accessibility. After all, who doesn't love banking from their phone 24/7 or shopping from their couch?

To meet these demands, companies rush to implement new technology as quickly as it emerges, but while enhancing business operations is undeniably lucrative, it comes with a price: Risk. As we embrace all the luxuries of innovation, cybercriminals are poised to exploit the vulnerabilities that these changes expose. Industries like healthcare and financial services are especially attractive targets, due to the valuable data and assets they are entrusted to protect, but cybercrime poses a threat to all. As a result, taking a proactive approach to managing cyber-risk, which involves pre-emptive and continuous action to assess and address risks caused by innovation, is being emphasized as a strategic necessity.

Traditional cybersecurity practices are like playing a never-ending game of whack-a-mole, because just as soon as one risk or vulnerability is addressed, another one pops up, presenting a new challenge. This can be frustrating, time-consuming, and ineffective in the rapidly evolving threat landscape. This ever-changing complexity further highlights the dynamic landscape of cybersecurity. We know that risk is an inherent part of all change — whether opening a new physical location, merging with another company, or implementing an online bill pay system, any modifications open the door to new vulnerabilities. Sounds bleak, right? Yes, the warnings about risk are ominous, but there is a way for businesses to participate in innovation successfully and prepare for the inevitable risk … and it's all about embracing a new mindset.

In the latest annual Global CEO Survey by PwC, CEOs in the financial sector and capital markets reported a significant concern over the threat to profitability due to changing consumer demands and behaviors. As a way to tackle this possible problem, CEOs invest significantly in technology such as AI and cloud solutions by automating processes and systems to improve the customer experience — a proactive measure to mitigate a possible threat to their bottom line.

However, a lack of attention to cybersecurity during the implementation of these technology solutions poses a significant risk to organizations where trust is critical. Cybersecurity is often an afterthought as companies integrate new processes and, especially, new technologies. This mindset leaves your business and your customers vulnerable to threat actors, so it’s time to substantially shift how change, risk, and strategy are perceived.

**An Action Plan**

Integrating cybersecurity defenses in tandem with new technology — not as a reactive action because a threat suddenly popped up — is the most effective route. Put the mallet down and approach cyber-risk with real-time data so your company stays ahead of emerging threats, instead of standing poised and hoping your reaction is well-timed. The development of technologies should be designed and planned with possible exposure to risk at the forefront. This proactive method simultaneously addresses both challenges, improves their performance through technology, and bolsters security measures. To implement this approach, a cyber framework that integrates with new projects at every stage can be implemented, even if it means extending the development timeline. In that way, businesses can address both challenges in a complementary manner, enhancing performance through technology while becoming more cyber secure.

This approach not only protects against cyber threats but also improves customer experience, since customers often demand seamless, convenient, and secure services. By integrating cybersecurity in tandem with technology implementation, companies across all industries can improve their customer experience while retaining trust. 

It’s important for businesses to work with a trusted partner in cyber-risk management to evaluate new technology for risk as it is created, rather than reacting to the risk that the technology triggered. This approach allows your company to identify potential vulnerabilities in new technology early on and implement appropriate security measures to mitigate the risks rather than addressing them after your business and your customers are already at risk. This assessment can identify potential vulnerabilities in the technology and determine the level of risk associated with each vulnerability. Based on this assessment, a plan is developed to mitigate the risks and ensure the security of systems and data. The information can be leveraged to create and implement policies and procedures for managing and monitoring the new technology to ensure ongoing security.

These recommendations serve as a reminder that being proactive doesn't just involve addressing risk due to a new product or service offering. It also means being proactive in defining, adopting, and measuring the effectiveness of risk assessments, as well as implementing the best practices that can mitigate these risks before they occur.

By embracing a proactive approach to cyber-risk management as a whole, companies across all industries can better detect, prevent, and mitigate cyber threats while integrating the latest state-of-the-art technology. And the best part? You can put that mallet away, because your company will detect threats before they even have a chance to pop up.

Addressing Risk Caused by Innovation

Red teaming is a crucial part of proactive GenAI security that helps map and measure AI risks.

Source: josefotograf via Alamy

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has emerged as a significant change-maker, enabling teams to innovate faster, automate existing workflows, and rethink the way we go to work. Today, more than 55% of companies are currently piloting or actively using GenAI solutions.

But for all its promise, GenAI also represents a significant risk factor. In an ISMG poll of business and cybersecurity professionals, respondents identified a number of concerns around GenAI implementation, including data security or leakage of sensitive data, privacy, hallucinations, misuse and fraud, and model or output bias.

For organizations looking to create additional safeguards around GenAI use, red teaming is one strategy they can deploy to proactively uncover risks in their GenAI systems. Here's how it works.

**Unique Considerations When Red Teaming GenAI**

GenAI red teaming is a complex, multistep process that differs significantly from red teaming classical AI systems or traditional software.

For starters, while traditional software or classical AI red teaming is primarily focused on identifying security failures, GenAI red teaming must account for responsible AI risks. These risks can vary widely, ranging from generating content with fairness issues to producing ungrounded or inaccurate information. GenAI red teaming has to explore potential security risks and responsible AI failures simultaneously.

Additionally, GenAI red teaming is more probabilistic than traditional red teaming. Executing the same attack path multiple times on traditional software systems is likely to yield similar results.

However, due to its multiple layers of nondeterminism, GenAI can provide different outputs for the same input. This can happen due to app-specific logic or the GenAI model itself. Sometimes the orchestrator that controls the output of the system can even engage different extensibility or plug-ins. Unlike traditional software systems with well-defined APIs and parameters, red teams must account for the probabilistic nature of GenAI systems when evaluating the technology.

Finally, system architectures vary widely between different types of GenAI tools. There are standalone applications, integrations with existing applications, and input and output modalities, like text, audio, images, and videos, for teams to consider.

These different system architectures make it incredibly difficult to conduct manual red-team probing. For example, to surface violent content generation risks on a browser-hosted chat interface, red teams would need to try different strategies multiple times to gather sufficient evidence of potential failures. Doing this manually for all types of harm, across all modalities and strategies, can be exceedingly tedious and slow.

**Best Practices for GenAI Red Teaming**

While manual red teaming can be a time-consuming, labor-intensive process, it's also one of the most effective ways to identify potential blind spots. Red teams can also scale certain aspects of probing through automation, particularly when it comes to automating routine tasks and helping identify potentially risky areas that require more attention.

At Microsoft, we use an open automation framework — known as the Python Risk Identification Tool for generative AI (PyRIT) — to red team GenAI systems. It is not intended to replace manual GenAI red teaming, but it can augment red teamers' existing domain expertise, automate tedious tasks, and create new efficiency gains by identifying hot spots for potential risks. This allows security professionals to control their GenAI red-teaming strategy and execution while PyRIT provides the automation code to generate potentially harmful prompts based on the initial dataset of harmful prompts provided by the security professional. PyRIT can also change tactics based on the GenAI system's response and generate its next input. 

Regardless of the method you use, sharing GenAI red-teaming resources like PyRIT across the industry raises all boats. Red teaming is a crucial part of proactive GenAI security, enabling red teamers to map AI risks, measure identified risks, and build out scoped mitigations to minimize their impact. In turn, this empowers organizations with the confidence and security they need to innovate responsibly with the latest AI advances.

How to Red Team GenAI: Challenges, Best Practices, and Learnings

A previously undocumented cyber threat dubbed Muddling Meerkat has been observed undertaking sophisticated domain name system (DNS) activities in a likely effort to evade security measures and conduct reconnaissance of networks across the world since October 2019.
Cloud security firm Infoblox described the threat actor as likely affiliated with the

China-Linked 'Muddling Meerkat' Hijacks DNS to Map Internet on Global Scale

Nutland says he goes into every engagement or new project with a completely open mind and a blank slate — using his background investigating terror operations to find out as much as he can about a particular adversary’s operation.

Monday, April 29, 2024 08:00

If state-sponsored actors are after one thing, it’s to spread fear and uncertainty across the internet. 

There’s always money to be made targeting individual businesses and organizations, but for James Nutland’s work, it’s always about the bigger picture. And his background in studying counterterrorism and interpersonal social dynamics provides him a unique perspective on APTs’ goals and methods. 

Nutland, an analyst with Cisco Talos’ Threat Intelligence and Interdiction team, didn’t begin his journey into cybersecurity through the traditional pathways. Instead, he went to college to obtain his bachelor’s degree in social psychology, particularly interested in social engineering, eventually obtaining his master’s in counterterrorism from the University of East London. 

That may sound like a degree someone gets to serve on a physical battlefield, but as Nutland puts it, security research and counterterrorism carry some of the same throughlines. 

“It’s providing you a set of skills you can then use in multiple modalities,” he said. “It’s the analysis, the eagerness to delve into the unknown, to assess swathes of noisy information, picking out the pieces to establish different threads to try and establish patterns and hopefully attribution — it’s that kind of analytical investigative thinking that really helps for threat hunting.” 

Nutland (right) speaking at MITRE ATT&CK Con last year.

Nutland’s technical experience comes from his undergraduate days when he started working in tech support for his college. Eventually, he got into system administration work after he moved to the U.S. during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.  

After various roles protecting both business and academic environments, Nutland decided to apply to Talos essentially on a whim after seeing a job listing whilst researching IOCs on the Talos intelligence center. In his current role, he conducts regular threat hunting and analysis campaigns to learn more about broader trends in the security landscape and state-sponsored threat actors. His work recently led to the disclosure of a campaign targeting Mexico users with tax-themed lure documents called “TimbreStealer,” and he participates in Cisco Talos Incident Response’s Intel-on-Demand service.  

Nutland says he goes into every engagement or new project with a completely open mind and a blank slate — using his background investigating terror operations to find out as much as he can about a particular adversary’s operation.  

“With my academic background, I’m very inquisitive. That’s proven to be a good asset,” he said. “I have a good understanding of the content and presentation of intelligence sought after in security management and operations. It’s great providing this intelligence, but providing actionable intelligence for security teams, understanding what’s required for that, it’s integral for many of the products we produce.” 

Recently, Nutland says he’s been focusing more on tracking prominent and burgeoning ransomware threat actors, as well as researching dark web activities where threat actors are leveraging obfuscated channels for their communication. Social media sites have gotten better about blocking this type of activity, he said, which has pushed them to decentralized communication platforms. He’s also tracking dark web sites that are used for obtaining ransom payments, spreading propaganda and trying to radicalize other users. 

Nutland’s work has also been crucial in Talos’ support of Ukraine during Russia’s invasion. He worked on several victim notifications for the Ukraine Task Force and discovered the malicious use of a defense evasion tool, which can wipe traces and logs of any USB devices that may have been connected to hardware and certain user activity on the host.  

“I initially saw a suspicious specific set of commands that were being run related to the executable, that I was able to track across multiple potential Ukrainian victims which Ukrainian organizations are now looking to crack down on,” Nutland said. 

In all his roles so far in his career, Nutland said he’s experienced various forms of imposter syndrome throughout his career, as many do. He said he often found himself questioning decisions, or feeling like other teammates were more qualified for his role. But at Talos, his managers have encouraged him to turn over every rock and go into every situation, curious and open. That’s allowed him to overcome that imposter syndrome and become a sponge, learning everything he could about a particular topic and becoming an expert in his own right. 

This culminated in a presentation to more than 300 people at the MITRE ATT&CKcon 4.0 in October, where he and his teammate, Nicole Hoffman, gave a talk about how threat actors can use the ATT&CK framework to track adversary activity. 

“Here are these titans of threat intelligence at a world-renowned convention. And here’s me, recently employed at Talos, and with incredible imposter syndrome,” Nutland said. “But there were about 300 people in the room, and Nicole and I knocked it out of the park. I never thought I’d be doing that.” 

Outside of the office, Nutland enjoys playing rugby, and he even was recently able to play a scrimmage against the Colombian National Team, a particular highlight for his career outside of cybersecurity.
