  Hackers Using Cracked Software on GitHub to Spread RisePro Info Stealer
Posted by: mrtrout - 03-16-2024 , 04:20 PM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

https://thehackernews.com/2024/03/hacker...re-on.html    Hackers Using Cracked Software on GitHub to Spread RisePro Info Stealer
Mar 16, 2024 Newsroom Malware / Cybercrime      Cybersecurity researchers have found a number of GitHub repositories offering cracked software that are used to deliver an information stealer called RisePro.

The campaign, codenamed gitgub, includes 17 repositories associated with 11 different accounts, according to G DATA. The repositories in question have since been taken down by the Microsoft-owned subsidiary.

"The repositories look similar, featuring a README.md file with the promise of free cracked software," the German cybersecurity company said.

"Green and red circles are commonly used on Github to display the status of automatic builds. Gitgub threat actors added four green Unicode circles to their README.md that pretend to display a status alongside a current date and provide a sense of legitimacy and recency."

The list of repositories is as follows, with each of them pointing to a download link ("digitalxnetwork[.]com") containing a RAR archive file -

The RAR archive, which requires the victims to supply a password mentioned in the repository's README.md file, contains an installer file, which unpacks the next-stage payload, an executable file that's inflated to 699 MB in an effort to crash analysis tools like IDA Pro.

The actual contents of the file – amounting to a mere 3.43 MB – act as a loader to inject RisePro (version 1.6) into either AppLaunch.exe or RegAsm.exe.

RisePro burst into the spotlight in late 2022 when it was distributed using a pay-per-install (PPI) malware downloader service known as PrivateLoader.

Cybersecurity
Written in C++, it's designed to gather sensitive information from infected hosts and exfiltrate it to two Telegram channels, which are often used by threat actors to extract victims' data. Interestingly, recent research from Checkmarx showed that it's possible to infiltrate and forward messages from an attacker's bot to another Telegram account.

The development comes as Splunk detailed the tactics and techniques adopted by Snake Keylogger, describing it as a stealer malware that "employs a multifaceted approach to data exfiltration."

"The use of FTP facilitates the secure transfer of files, while SMTP enables the sending of emails containing sensitive information," Splunk said. "Additionally, integration with Telegram offers a real-time communication platform, allowing for immediate transmission of stolen data."

Stealer malware have become increasingly popular, often becoming the primary vector for ransomware and other high impact data breaches. According to a report from Specops published this week, RedLine, Vidar, and Raccoon have emerged as the most widely-used stealers, with RedLine alone accounting for the theft of more than 170.3 million passwords in the last six months.

"The current rise of information-stealing malware is a stark reminder of constantly evolving digital threats," Flashpoint noted in January 2024. "While the motivations behind its use is almost always rooted in financial gain, stealers are continually adapting while being more accessible and easier to use."    https://thehackernews.com/2024/03/hacker...re-on.html

Posted by: tarekma7 - 03-12-2024 , 09:52 PM - Forum: Official & Exclusive Promo2day Giveaways - Replies (15)

[Image: 8NSyVkp.png]

WinRAR is the official client to create RAR archives on Windows

RAR archives let compress even more some files that which other formats get a lesser compression and the unicity of RAR archives is the addition of an error recovery feature that helps in case some files are being corrupted. For this aspect, the RAR format is the best compression format to preserve integrity of important files. RAR files can compress contents about 30% more efficiently than a standard ZIP file.

These are the main features of WinRAR:

·        Support for popular archive format (RAR, ZIP, ISO and many others)
·        Easy-to-use GUI
·        Splitting of archives, which makes easier to separate files if they are too big
·        AES 256-bit encryption to make your data secure
·        The ability to automatically select the best compression method for multimedia files
·        Support for over 40 languages
·        Drag-and-drop functionality
·        Recovery record, to help you recover RAR archives in case of data corruption
·        Perpetual license with no subscription and competitive pricing
·        Option to create a self-extraction archive, also known as SFX

System requirements

WinRAR is compatible with Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 7 and Vista. There is also a free counterpart for Android phones (for Android 4.4.and above), and also a command-line version for Linux, FreeBSD, and MAC OS X. More information are in the “useful resources" section

Pricing:

WinRAR costs about 29$ for a 1-license, and (only if you want) you can add a maintenance option that costs only about 5$, which lets you have the latest WinRAR version for 1-year and, in addition, it offers the support if you lost your license key, receiving it in about 48 hours from the request. Lastly, you can also order a physical CD with the software, useful is you have a slow connection and want to have a physical backup copy of your purchased WinRAR.

win.rar GmbH released the final version of WinRAR 7 just few weeks ago that includes new features, improvements and bug fixes

[Image: JpTK9mO.png]

Here are the new features of WinRAR 7:

·        Enhance compression capabilities: support dictionary sizes up to 64GB allowing for best compression ratio
·        New path length of 65365 characters, useful in cases of complex directory structures
·        Improved security with the “Propagate Mark of the Web” option, which provides advanced control over security zone information for extracted files
·        New advanced search algorithms, which enable WinRAR to locale longer and more distant repeated data blocks
·        UI and settings enhancements, with a more friendly UI and more customization options
·        Benchmarking improvements, allowing users to specify the number of threads and copy the results to the clipboard
·        Other improvements and fixes, including a fix for a critical flaw

For a detailed changelog of WinRAR 7 and previous versions, please visit this link: https://www.win-rar.com/whatsnew.html

[Image: LTJhpHo.png]

The main UI of WinRAR is very simple to use, because it has only the most features you need:

·        Add files to an archive
·        Extract files from an archive
·        Test an archive
·        View files in an archive
·        Delete files from an archive
·        Find files and archives
·        Show information about files
·        Repair an archive (in case you added a recovery record)
·        A guided wizard

The main UI features a Windows-explorer based UI which lets you select files and folders for add them into an archive

The quick method to do some basic operations, is to use the Wizard, which lets you do these three things:

·        Unpack an archive
·        Create a new archive
·        Add files to an existing archive

Let’s try to create a new archive with the wizard to see how to process is so easy to achieve:

1)      Click the Wizard button from the main toolbar
2)      Select “Create a new archive” and click on Next
3)      Select files and folders and then click on OK
4)      Click on “Browse” and select a path location and your desired name and click on Save and then Next (in my case is test.rar)
5)      In the next page you can choose some additional options and even set a password to protect your archive
6)      Let’s click on Finish

  Dark web threats and dark market predictions for 2024
Posted by: mrtrout - 03-12-2024 , 02:29 PM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

https://securelist.com/darknet-predictio...24/111763/    Dark web threats and dark market predictions for 2024
KASPERSKY SECURITY BULLETIN

17 JAN 2024

6 minute read     
SERGEY LOZHKIN

ANNA PAVLOVSKAYA

KASPERSKY SECURITY SERVICES
An overview of last year’s predictions
Increase in personal data leaks; corporate email at risk
A data leakage is a broad term encompassing various types of information that become publicly available, or published for sale on the dark web or other shadow web sites. Leaked information may include internal corporate documents, databases, personal and work login credentials, and other types of data.

Last year, we predicted that personal data and corporate email would increasingly be at risk, and the prediction proved largely accurate. In 2023, for instance, there was a significant rise in posts offering login credentials and passwords for various personal and work accounts. To be more specific, in 2023, the volume of malware log files containing compromised user data and posted for free on the dark web surged by almost 30% compared to 2022.

Throughout the past year, various companies were referenced in dark web discussions on leaked internal databases including those containing client information and documents on the darknet—nearly 19,000 posts like that were detected in January–November 2023.

Moreover, since political confrontation now inherently includes cyber-elements, some data breach attacks also occurred amid ongoing conflicts, such as the Israeli-Hamas conflict. For example, the group Cyber Toufan was reported to have claimed dozens of data breaches against Israeli firms. On the opposite side, over 1 million records from Palestine’s healthcare system were posted on the dark web. On the whole, in the digital realm of conflicts, hackers on both sides tend to engage in activities like breaching various services or websites, to expose the data publicly—sometimes not for financial gain but rather with the intent of causing the opponent harm.

Verdict: prediction fulfilled ✅

Malware-as-a-service: a greater number of cookie-cutter attacks, more complex tools
The year 2023 saw new malware families offered as a service (MaaS) emerge, contributing to the overall rise in MaaS activity on the dark web. Notable among these was BunnyLoader, inexpensive and feature-rich malware capable of stealing sensitive data and cryptocurrency. Another newcomer in 2023 was Mystic Stealer, subscription-based malware discussed on darknet forums and recognized for its ability to pilfer user credentials and valuable information. It was distributed on cybercriminal forums under the MaaS model with a monthly fee of $150, according to Kaspersky Digital Footprint Intelligence data. Existing malware, typically offered through subscription models, continued to thrive.

The number of posts on the dark web offering logs from RedLine, a widely popular malware family, also significantly increased: from 370 average monthly posts in 2022 to 1200 in 2023.

Number of posts offering RedLine logs, 2022–2023


Last year, we released an in-depth study on MaaS, offering detailed insights into the market landscape and the complexity of toolsets used by attackers.

Verdict: prediction fulfilled ✅

Media blackmail: businesses to learn they were hacked from hackers’ public posts with a countdown to release
Ransomware operators create blogs to showcase new successful hacks of businesses and reveal stolen data. In 2022, these blogs, found on both public platforms and the dark web, averaged 386 posts per month. In 2023, this figure surged to 476, hitting a peak of 634 posts in November. This points to a continuous rise in companies falling prey to ransomware.

Number of posts on ransomware blogs, 2022-2023


Not only did the number of posts increase, but we also witnessed the emergence of several new ransomware blogs. They typically emerge when a new ransomware group appears. It is important to note that the blogs of existing groups may not be “fixed in place”: they may change their site address or create multiple addresses simultaneously.

Verdict: prediction fulfilled ✅

Enjoying the fun part: cybercriminals to post fake hack reports more often
Last year, we predicted an increase in threat actors producing fake data leak reports, attempting to present them as authentic. In fact, it turned out that genuine data leaks had various motives behind them, such as hacktivism or even “marketing”. The latter means that cybercriminals reposted real data leaks as a means of advertising forums and other dark web sites, trying to enhance the reputation of these platforms.

In the Russian-speaking segment of the shadow market, we noticed numerous fakes published by “no-name” threat actors rather than well-known groups. Threat actors with a reputation refrained from claiming hacks or posting fakes.

Verdict: partially fulfilled ?

Cloud technology and compromised data sourced on the dark web to become popular attack vectors
In the past year, we did not encounter any investigations into attacks on our clients’ clouds. However, it is important to note that compromised data from the dark web could potentially be utilized for orchestrating attacks. There has been a noticeable rise in the number of leaked user credentials, suggesting growing demand within the community for this kind of information. This demand stems from the fact that it is one of the simplest methods of gaining unauthorized access to infrastructure.

Verdict: partially fulfilled ?

Our predictions for 2024
The number of services providing AV evasion for malware (cryptors) will increase
The trend observed in 2023, where services offering antivirus (AV) evasion for malware (cryptors), is expected to persist into 2024. A cryptor is a tool specifically designed to obfuscate the code present in a malware sample. Its purpose is to make the code undetectable by signature-based scanners, thus enhancing its stealthiness.

The dark market is already replete with such services. Some of these offers are very popular on underground forums. The spectrum of cryptors ranges from affordable options, priced between $10–$50 per encryption or $100 for a monthly subscription and catering to mass malware distribution with basic, short-lived protection, to premium cryptors costing between $1000–$20,000 for a monthly subscription. Tailored for targeted infection, these high-end cryptors provide advanced invasive capabilities for bypassing runtime protection by security solutions.

“Loader” malware services will continue to evolve
The landscape of “loader” malware services is anticipated to continue its evolution, offering increasingly stealthy loaders to cybercriminals. These loaders, which act as an initial vector for malware infections, pave the way for deployment of stealers, various remote access Trojans (RATs), and other malicious tools. The key capabilities of these loaders are expected to include robust persistence mechanisms, fileless memory execution, and enhanced resistance to security products. The ongoing evolution of loaders on dark markets is likely to see the introduction of new versions written in modern programming languages like Golang and Rust in 2024. This trend signifies a concerted effort by cybercriminals to enhance evasion techniques and improve the efficacy of initial infection vectors.

Crypto asset draining services will continue to grow on dark web markets
We anticipate a rise and further advancement in crypto asset stealers, leading to a corresponding increase in ads for its development and sale on the underground market. The success of malware like Angel Drainer, reportedly used in the attack on Ledger, combined with continuing interest in cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and related digital assets, is expected to fuel the proliferation of such drainers. This trend reflects the lucrative nature of targeting digital financial assets, making crypto assets an attractive target for cybercriminals. As interest in, and usage of, these assets are growing, so, too, will the sophistication and prevalence of malware designed to exploit them.

Black traffic schemes will be very popular on underground markets
The trend of utilizing Google and Bing ads for fake traffic gathering campaigns is projected to maintain its popularity. Black traffic dealers, who orchestrate these campaigns by promoting landing pages embedded with malware installers, have been effectively infecting users through these deceptive ads. These dealers are likely to step up sales activities on the underground market. At the same time, demand for such services is expected to increase, underscoring the effectiveness of mainstream ad delivery platforms for malware distribution and making it a preferred method among cybercriminals for reaching a wider audience. As a result, we can expect a continued rise in these deceptive practices, posing a persistent threat to online users.

Evolution and market dynamics of Bitcoin mixers and cleaning services
Bitcoin mixers and “cleaning” services are showing signs of a continued rise in prevalence and sophistication. With increased regulatory scrutiny and enhanced transaction tracking capabilities by law enforcement, demand for services that obscure the origin of Bitcoin funds is expected to grow in the underground markets. These services, often referred to as “tumblers” or “mixers”, provide threats actors or other nefarious users with the ability to anonymize their cryptocurrency transactions, making them challenging to trace back to the source.

In 2024, we anticipate an expansion in the variety and complexity of these services. This expansion is likely to be driven by the evolving needs of threat actors seeking to maintain privacy to engage in illicit activities, as well as by the continuous advancement in blockchain analysis tools. Bitcoin mixers and cleaning services will likely incorporate more sophisticated algorithms and techniques to stay ahead of tracking efforts.

Moreover, the rise in the popularity of other cryptocurrencies with enhanced privacy features might also influence the Bitcoin mixer market. Service providers could diversify their offerings to include mixing for these alternative cryptocurrencies, further expanding the scope of their operations.

  Cybersecurity in the AI era: How the threat landscape evolved in 2023
Posted by: mrtrout - 03-12-2024 , 02:26 PM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

https://www.kaspersky.com/about/press-re...ed-in-2023    Cybersecurity in the AI era: How the threat landscape evolved in 2023
Kaspersky’s experts reveal the profound influence of AI on the 2023 cybersecurity landscape in their latest report. Adopting a multifaceted approach, the analysis explores the implications of AI, focusing on its use by defenders and regulators, and separately assessing its potential exploitation by cybercriminals. This comprehensive examination – part of Kaspersky Security Bulletin (KSB) – is a yearly compilation of predictions and in-depth reports illuminating key shifts in the dynamic field of cybersecurity.
Amid the rapid pace of technological progress and societal shifts, the term “AI” has firmly positioned itself at the forefront of global conversations. With the increasing spread of large language models (LLMs), the surge in security and privacy concerns directly links AI with the cybersecurity world. Kaspersky researchers illustrate how AI tools have helped cybercriminals in their malicious activity in 2023, while also showcasing the potential defensive applications of this technology. The company’s experts also reveal the evolving landscape of AI-related threats in the future that might include:

More complex vulnerabilities

As instruction-following LLMs are integrated into more consumer-facing products, new complex vulnerabilities will emerge on the intersection of probabilistic generative AI and traditional deterministic technologies, expanding the attack surface for cybersecurity professionals to secure. This will require developers to study new security measures like user approval for actions initiated by LLM agents.

A comprehensive AI assistant to cybersecurity specialists

Red teamers and researchers leverage generative AI for innovative cybersecurity tools, potentially leading to an assistant using LLM or machine learning (ML). This tool could automate red teaming tasks, offering guidance based on executed commands in a pentesting environment.

Neural networks will be increasingly used to generate visuals for scams

In the coming year, scammers may amplify their tactics using neural networks, leveraging AI tools to create more convincing fraudulent content. With the ability to effortlessly generate convincing images and videos, malicious actors pose an increased risk of escalating cyber threats related to fraud and scams.

AI will not become a driver for groundbreaking change in the threat landscape in 2024

Despite the above trends, Kaspersky experts remain skeptical about AI changing the threat landscape significantly any time soon. While cybercriminals do adopt generative AI, the same is true about cyberdefenders, who will use the same or even more advanced tools to test enhance security of software and networks, making it unlikely to drastically alter the attack landscape.

More AI-related regulatory initiatives, with private sector’s contribution

As fast-growing technology develops, it has become a matter of policy making and regulation. The number of AI-related regulatory initiatives is set to rise. Non-state actors, such as tech companies, given their expertise in developing and utilizing artificial intelligence, can provide invaluable insights for discussions on AI regulation on both global and national platforms.

Watermark for AI-generated content

More regulations, as well as service provider policies will be required to flag or identify synthetic content, with the latter continuing to invest in detection technologies. Developers and researchers, on their part, will contribute to methods of watermarking synthetic media for easier identification and provenance.

“Artificial Intelligence in cybersecurity is a double-edged sword. Its adaptive capabilities fortify our defenses, offering a proactive shield against evolving threats. However, the same dynamism poses risks, as attackers leverage AI to craft more sophisticated assaults. Striking the right balance, ensuring responsible use without oversharing sensitive data, is paramount in securing our digital frontiers,” comments Vladislav Tushkanov, security expert at Kaspersky.

  WinRAR v7 full review
Posted by: Nicos18 - 03-10-2024 , 04:20 PM - Forum: Written Reviews - Replies (3)

WinRAR 7 Review

WinRAR is the official client to create RAR archives on Windows
 
RAR archives let compress even more some files that which other formats get a lesser compression and the unicity of RAR archives is the addition of an error recovery feature that helps in case some files are being corrupted. For this aspect, the RAR format is the best compression format to preserve integrity of important files. RAR files can compress contents about 30% more efficiently than a standard ZIP file.
 
These are the main features of WinRAR:
 
·         Support for popular archive format (RAR, ZIP, ISO and many others)
·         Easy-to-use GUI
·         Splitting of archives, which makes easier to separate files if they are too big
·         AES 256-bit encryption to make your data secure
·         The ability to automatically select the best compression method for multimedia files
·         Support for over 40 languages
·         Drag-and-drop functionality
·         Recovery record, to help you recover RAR archives in case of data corruption
·         Perpetual license with no subscription and competitive pricing
·         Option to create a self-extraction archive, also known as SFX
 
System requirements
 
WinRAR is compatible with Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 7 and Vista. There is also a free counterpart for Android phones (for Android 4.4.and above), and also a command-line version for Linux, FreeBSD, and MAC OS X. More information are in the “useful resources" section
 
Pricing

WinRAR costs about 29$ for a 1-license, and (only if you want) you can add a maintenance option that costs only about 5$, which lets you have the latest WinRAR version for 1-year and, in addition, it offers the support if you lost your license key, receiving it in about 48 hours from the request. Lastly, you can also order a physical CD with the software, useful is you have a slow connection and want to have a physical backup copy of your purchased WinRAR.

   

win.rar GmbH released the final version of WinRAR 7 just few weeks ago that includes new features, improvements and bug fixes
 
Here are the new features of WinRAR 7:

·         Enhance compression capabilities: support dictionary sizes up to 64GB allowing for best compression ratio
·         New path length of 65365 characters, useful in cases of complex directory structures
·         Improved security with the “Propagate Mark of the Web” option, which provides advanced control over security zone information for extracted files
·         New advanced search algorithms, which enable WinRAR to locale longer and more distant repeated data blocks
·         UI and settings enhancements, with a more friendly UI and more customization options
·         Benchmarking improvements, allowing users to specify the number of threads and copy the results to the clipboard
·         Other improvements and fixes, including a fix for a critical flaw
 
For a detailed changelog of WinRAR 7 and previous versions, please visit this link: https://www.win-rar.com/whatsnew.html
 
The installation of WinRAR is straightforward and easy to carry out:
 


1)      Go to this link https://www.win-rar.com/download.html?&L=0
2)      From this page, you can choose for the 32-bit and 64-bit version
3)      Once downloaded, run or save the file and execute it
4)      Accept the various Windows UACs
5)      Select the destination folder and click install
6)      Now you can choose which extensions associate with WinRAR and some other configurations
7)      When finished, click OK and click Done

   

   

   

At the first launch, you can obtain a discount code if you choose to buy WinRAR


     
 
 
Main UI

     
 
The main UI of WinRAR is very simple to use, because it has only the most features you need:
·         Add files to an archive
·         Extract files from an archive
·         Test an archive
·         View files in an archive
·         Delete files from an archive
·         Find files and archives
·         Show information about files
·         Repair an archive (in case you added a recovery record)
·         A guided wizard
 
 
The main UI features a Windows-explorer based UI which lets you select files and folders for add them into an archive
 
The quick method to do some basic operations, is to use the Wizard, which lets you do these three things:
 
·         Unpack an archive
·         Create a new archive
·         Add files to an existing archive
 
Let’s try to create a new archive with the wizard to see how to process is so easy to achieve:
 
1)      Click the Wizard button from the main toolbar
2)      Select “Create a new archive” and click on Next
3)      Select files and folders and then click on OK
4)      Click on “Browse” and select a path location and your desired name and click on Save and then Next (in my case is test.rar)
5)      In the next page you can choose some additional options and even set a password to protect your archive
6)      Let’s click on Finish

 
   

   

   


The Info function is very useful to see how much space you have saved with your archive and to see other useful details

   

VirusScan uses the malware engines scans found on the local system; it is a useful function to protect against viruses and malwares. You can choose between Windows Defender, which is integrated into Windows, and a third-party tool.
 
   
 
To protect an archive from potential corruption, click on the “Protect” button and then set a recovery record size to a size of your choice (remember that higher is the number and larger is the archive but the protection is also more). For sensible data it is advisable to set a large recovery size record. You can also lock an archive from modification (useful in case of a ransomware attack)
 
   
 
WinRAR has many options to let you configure it in the way you prefer, and you can even import/export settings, useful if you have multiple computers and want the same software configuration.

   

   

   


WinRAR has also an integrated Help containing many useful information and tips to help better understand how it works.
 
   
 
Wrapping things up, WinRAR is the best choice for who wants to create small and reliable archives, thanks to the many optimizations and features it has. And it is not a subscription-based software, so you need to upgrade only if you want or need it.

  KASPERSKY GLOBAL TRANSPARENCY INITIATIVE
Posted by: mrtrout - 03-08-2024 , 02:39 PM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

https://www.kaspersky.com/transparency-center    KASPERSKY GLOBAL TRANSPARENCY INITIATIVE
Today, transparency is a vital element in the digital world we all rely on. Kaspersky Global Transparency Initiative includes a number of actionable and concrete measures to engage with the wider cybersecurity community and stakeholders in validating and verifying the trustworthiness of its products, internal processes and business operations.    DATA, INDEPENDENT REVIEWS AND MORE...
Within the framework of our Global Transparency Initiative we have relocated our cyberthreat-related data storage and processing for a number of regions to Switzerland. We have also opened our first Transparency Center in the country.


User Data
Threat-related data received from users of Kaspersky products in Europe, North and Latin America, the Middle East, and also several countries in Asia-Pacific is processed and stored on Swiss servers.


Transparency Center
A facility for trusted partners and government stakeholders to review the company's code, software updates and threat detection rules. The company opened Transparency Centers in Kigali (Rwanda), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Madrid (Spain), Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), Rome (Italy), São Paulo (Brazil), Singapore, Tokyo (Japan), Utrecht (the Netherlands), Woburn (the United States), and Zurich (Switzerland).


Independent review
Third-party assessment of internal processes to verify the integrity of Kaspersky solutions and processes:
• SOC 2 audit, conducted by an independent accounting firm;
• ISO 27001 certification for data security systems.    TRANSPARENCY CENTERS
Transparency Centers serve as facilities for trusted partners to access reviews of the company’s code, software updates and threat detection rules, along with other activities. Through them, we provide governments and partners with information on our products and their security, including essential and important technical documentation, for external evaluation in a secure environment. They also serve as a briefing center where trusted stakeholders can learn more about the company’s portfolio, engineering and data processing practices.

Kaspersky Transparency Centers are operating in Kigali, Kuala Lumpur, Madrid, Riyadh, Rome, São Paulo, Singapore, Tokyo, Utrecht, Woburn, and Zurich.

At Kaspersky’s Transparency Centers, the company provides the opportunity to compile its software from the source code and compare it with the publicly available one.

No other cybersecurity provider has done anything as far reaching as this. In opening its Transparency Centers, Kaspersky makes a significant step towards becoming completely transparent about its protection technologies, infrastructure and data processing practices.

  AI and Machine Learning in Cybersecurity How They Will Shape the Future
Posted by: mrtrout - 03-06-2024 , 07:18 PM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

https://www.kaspersky.com/resource-cente...ersecurity      AI and Machine Learning in Cybersecurity — How They Will Shape the Future      AI, Machine learning, and Deep learning definition within cybersecurity
AI cybersecurity, with the support of machine learning, is set to be a powerful tool in the looming future. As with other industries, human interaction has long been essential and irreplaceable in security. While cybersecurity currently relies heavily on human input, we are gradually seeing technology become better at specific tasks than we are.

Every technology improvement brings us slightly closer to supplementing human roles more effectively. Among these developments, a few areas of research are at the core of it all:

Artificial intelligence (AI) is designed to give computers the full responsive ability of the human mind. This is the umbrella discipline under which many others fall, including machine learning and deep learning.
Machine learning (ML) uses existing behavior patterns, forming decision-making based on past data and conclusions. Human intervention is still needed for some changes. Machine learning is likely the most relevant AI cybersecurity discipline to date.
Deep learning (DL) works similarly to machine learning by making decisions from past patterns but makes adjustments on its own. Deep learning in cybersecurity currently falls within the scope of machine learning, so we’ll focus mostly on ML here.
What AI and machine learning can do for cybersecurity
AI and cybersecurity have been touted as revolutionary and much closer than we might think. However, this is only a partial truth that must be approached with reserved expectations. The reality is that we may be faced with relatively gradual improvements for the future to come. In perspective, what may seem gradual when compared to a fully autonomous future is actually still leaps beyond what we’ve been capable of in the past.

As we explore the possible implications with security in machine learning and AI, it’s important to frame the current pain points in cybersecurity. There are many processes and aspects we’ve long accepted as normal that can be treated under the umbrella of AI technologies.

Human error in configuration
Human error is a significant part of cybersecurity weaknesses. For example, the proper system configuration can be incredibly difficult to manage, even with large IT teams engaging in setup. In the course of constant innovation, computer security has become more layered than ever. Responsive tools could help teams find and mitigate issues that appear as network systems are replaced, modified, and updated.

Consider how newer internet infrastructure like cloud computing may be stacked atop older local frameworks. In enterprise systems, an IT team will need to ensure compatibility to secure these systems. Manual processes for assessing configuration security cause teams to feel fatigued as they balance endless updates with normal daily support tasks. With smart, adaptive automation, teams could receive timely advice on newly discovered issues. They could get advice on options for proceeding, or even have systems in place to automatically adjust settings as needed.

Human efficiency with repeated activities
Human efficiency is another pain point within the cybersecurity industry. No manual process is perfectly repeatable every time, especially in a dynamic environment such as ours. The individual setup of an organization’s many endpoint machines is among the most time-consuming tasks. Even after initial setup, IT teams find themselves revisiting the same machines later on for correcting misconfigurations or outdated setups that cannot be patched in remote updates.

Furthermore, when employees are tasked with responses to threats, the scope of said threat can rapidly shift. Where human focus may be slowed by unexpected challenges, a system based on AI and machine learning can move with minimal delay.

Threat alert fatigue
Threat alert fatigue gives organizations another weakness if not handled with care. Attack surfaces are increasing as the aforementioned layers of security become more elaborate and sprawling. Many security systems are tuned to react to many known issues with a barrage of purely reflexive alerts. As a result, these individual prompts leave human teams to parse out potential decisions and take action.

A high influx of alerts makes this level of decision-making an especially taxing process. Ultimately, decision fatigue becomes a daily experience for cybersecurity personnel. Proactive action for these identified threats and vulnerabilities is ideal, but many teams lack the time and staffing to cover all their bases.

Sometimes teams have to decide to confront the largest concerns first and let the secondary objectives fall to the wayside. Using AI within cybersecurity efforts can allow IT teams to manage more of these threats in an effective, practical fashion. Confronting each of these threats can be made much easier if batched by automated labeling. Beyond this, some concerns may actually be able to be treated by the machine learning algorithm itself.

Threat response time
Threat response time is absolutely among the most pivotal metrics for a cybersecurity teams’ efficacy. From exploitation to deployment, malicious attacks have been known to move very quickly. Threat actors of the past used to have to sift through network permissions and disarm security laterally for sometimes weeks on end before launching their attack.

Unfortunately, experts in the cyber defense space are not the only ones benefiting from technology innovations. Automation has since become more commonplace in cyber attacks. Threats like the recent LockBit ransomware attacks have accelerated attack times considerably. Currently, some attacks can even move as quick as half-an-hour.

The human response can lag behind the initial attack, even with known attack types. For this reason, many teams have more often engaged in reactions to successful attacks rather than preventions of attempted attacks. On the other end of the spectrum, undiscovered attacks are a danger all their own.

ML-assisted security can pull data from an attack to be immediately grouped and prepared for analysis. It can provide cybersecurity teams with simplified reports to make processing and decision-making a cleaner job. Going beyond just reporting, this type of security can also offer recommended action for limiting further damage and preventing future attacks.

New threat identification and prediction
New threat identification and prediction serve as another factor that impacts response timeframes for cyber attacks. As noted previously, lag time already occurs with existing threats. Unknown attack types, behaviors, and tools can further deceive a team into slow reactions. Worse, quieter threats like data theft can sometimes go completely undiscovered. An April 2020 survey by Fugue gathered that roughly 84% of IT teams were concerned over their cloud-based systems being hacked without their awareness.

Constant attack evolution leading to zero-day exploits is always an underlying concern within network defense efforts. But for some good news, cyber attacks are not commonly built from scratch. Being that they are often constructed atop behaviors, frameworks, and source codes of past attacks, machine learning has a pre-existing path to work from.

Programming based in ML can help highlight commonalities between the new threat and previously identified ones to help spot an attack. This is something that humans cannot effectively do within a timely fashion and further highlights that adaptive security models are necessary. From this viewpoint, machine learning can potentially make it easier for teams to also predict new threats and reduce lag time due to increased threat awareness.

Staffing capacity
Staffing capacity falls under the scope of ongoing issues plaguing many IT and cybersecurity teams globally. Depending on the needs of an organization, the number of qualified professionals can be limited.

However, the more common situation is that hiring human help can also cost organizations a healthy amount of their budget. Supporting human staff requires not only compensating for daily labor but providing assistance in their ongoing need for education and certification. Staying current as a cybersecurity professional is demanding, especially in regard to the perpetual innovation that we’ve continued to mention throughout the discussion thus far.

AI-based security tools can take the lead with a less dense team to staff and support it. While this staff will need to keep up with the cutting-edge areas of AI and machine learning, cost and time savings will come alongside the smaller staffing requirements.

Adaptability
Adaptability is not as obvious of a concern as other point mentioned but can shift the abilities of an organization’s security dramatically. Human teams may be lacking in their capacity to customize their skill set to your specialized requirements.

If the staff is not trained in specific methods, tools, and systems, you may find that your team’s effectiveness is stunted as a result. Even seemingly simple needs like adopting new security policies can move slowly with human-based teams. This is just the nature of being human, as we cannot learn new ways of doing things instantly and must have time to do so. With the right datasets, aptly trained algorithms can be morphed to be a bespoke solution specifically for you.

machine learning in cybersecurity

How AI is used in cybersecurity
Artificial intelligence in cybersecurity is considered to be a superset of disciplines like machine learning and deep learning cyber security, but it does have its own role to play.

AI at its core is concentrated on “success” with “accuracy” carrying less weight. Natural responses in elaborate problem-solving are the ultimate goal. In a true execution of AI, actual independent decisions are being made. Its programming is designed for finding the ideal solution in a situation, rather than just the hard-logical conclusion of the dataset.

To further explain, it’s best to understand how modern AI and its underlying disciplines work currently. Autonomous systems are not within the scope of widely mobilized systems, especially in the field of cybersecurity. These self-directed systems are what many people commonly associate with AI. However, AI systems that either assist or augment our protective services are practical and available.

The ideal role of AI in cybersecurity is the interpretation of the patterns established by machine learning algorithms. Of course, it's not yet possible for modern-day AI to interpret results with the abilities of a human yet. Work is being done to help develop this field in pursuit of humanlike frameworks, but true AI is a distant goal that requires machines to take abstract concepts across situations to reframe them. In other words, this level of creativity and critical thought is not as close as the AI rumors would like you to believe.

How machine learning is used in cybersecurity
Machine learning security solutions are different from what people envision to be of the artificial intelligence family. That said, they are easily the strongest cybersecurity AI tools we have to-date. In the scope of this technology, data patterns are used to reveal the likelihood that an event will occur — or not.

ML is somewhat opposite to that of true AI in some respects. Machine learning is particularly “accuracy” driven, but not as focused on “success.” What this means is that ML proceeds intending to learn from a task-focused dataset. It concludes by finding the most optimal performance of the given task. It will pursue the only possible solution based on the given data, even if it’s not the ideal one. With ML, there is no true interpretation of the data, which means this responsibility still falls on human task forces.

Machine learning excels at tedious tasks like data pattern identification and adaptation. Humans are not well suited to these types of tasks due to task fatigue and a generally low tolerance for monotony. So, while the interpretation of data analysis is still in human hands, machine learning can assist in framing the data in a readable, dissection-ready presentation. Machine learning cybersecurity comes in a few different forms, each with its own unique benefits:

Data classifying
Data classifying works by using preset rules to assign categories to data points. Labeling these points is an important part of building a profile on attacks, vulnerabilities, and other aspects of proactive security. This is fundamental to the intersection of machine learning and cyber security.

Data clustering
Data clustering takes the outliers of classifying preset rules, placing them into “clustered” collections of data with shared traits or odd features. For example, this can be used when analyzing attack data that a system is not already trained for. These clusters can help determine how an attack happened, as well as, what was exploited and exposed.

Recommended courses of action
Recommended courses of action elevate the proactive measures of an ML security system. These are advisories based around behavior patterns and former decisions, providing naturally suggested courses of action. It is important to restate here that this is not intelligent decision making via true autonomous AI. Rather, it’s an adaptive conclusion framework that can reach through preexisting data points to conclude logical relationships. Responses to threats and mitigating risks can be assisted immensely by this type of tool.

Possibility synthesis
Possibility synthesis allows for the synthesizing of brand-new possibilities based on lessons from previous data and new unfamiliar datasets. This is a bit different from recommendations, as it is concentrating more on the chances that an action or the state of a system falls in line with similar past situations. For example, this synthesis can be used for a preemptive probing of weak points in an organization’s systems.

Predictive forecasting
Predictive forecasting is the most forward-thinking of the ML component processes. This benefit is achieved by predicting potential outcomes by evaluating existing datasets. This can be used primarily for building threat models, outlining fraud prevention, data breach protection, and is a staple of many predictive endpoint solutions.

Examples of machine learning in cybersecurity
To explain further, here are a few examples that underline the value of machine learning as it pertains to cybersecurity:

Data privacy classification and compliance
Protecting your organization from violations of privacy laws has likely risen to be a top priority over the past few years. With the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) leading the way, other legal measures have appeared such as the California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA).

Managing the collected data of your customers and users must be done under these acts, which usually means this data must be accessible for deletion upon request. The consequences of not following these legislations include hefty fines, as well as, damage to your organization’s reputation.

Data classifying can help you separate identifying user data from that which is anonymized or identify-free. This saves you from manual labor in attempts to parse out vast collections of old and new data, especially in large or older organizations.

User behavior security profiles
By forming custom profiles on network staff based around user behaviors, security could be tailor-made to fit your organization. This model can then establish what an unauthorized user might look like based on the outliers of user behavior. Subtle traits like keyboard strokes can form a predictive threat model. With the outline of possible outcomes of potential unauthorized user behaviors, ML security can suggest recommended recourse to reduce exposed attack surfaces.

System performance security profiles
Similar to the user behavior profile concept, a custom diagnostic profile of your entire computer’s performance can be compiled when healthy. Monitoring the processor and memory use alongside traits like high internet data use can be indicative of malicious activity. That said, some users may regularly use high volumes of data through video conferencing or frequent large media file downloads. By learning what a system’s baseline performance generally looks like, it can establish what it should not look like, similar to the user behavior rules we mentioned in an earlier ML example.

Behavior-based bot blocking
Bot activity can be an inbound bandwidth drain for websites. This is especially true for those that depend on internet-based business traffic, such as those with dedicated e-commerce storefronts and no brick-and-mortar locations. Authentic users may have a sluggish experience that causes a loss of traffic and business opportunity.

By classifying this activity, ML security tools can block the bots’ web, regardless of tools used like virtual private networks that can anonymize them. Behavioral data points on the malicious parties can help a machine learning security tool form predictive models around this behavior and preemptively block new web addresses for displaying this same activity.

The Future of Cybersecurity
Despite all the glowing dialogue around the future of this form of security, there are still limitations to be noted.

ML needs datasets but may conflict withdata privacylaws. Training software systems requires plenty of data points to build accurate models, which doesn’t meld well with “the right to be forgotten.” The human identifiers of some data may cause violations, so potential solutions will need to be considered. Possible fixes include getting systems to either make original data virtually impossible to access once software has been trained. Anonymizing data points is also in consideration, but this will need to be examined further to avoid skewing the program logic.

The industry needs more AI and ML cybersecurity experts capable of working with programming in this scope. Machine learning network security would benefit greatly from staff that can maintain and adjust it as needed. However, the global pool of qualified, trained individuals is smaller than the immense global demand for staff that can provide these solutions.

Human teams will still be essential. Finally, critical thinking and creativity are going to be vital to decision-making. As mentioned much earlier, ML is not prepared or capable of doing either, and neither is AI. To continue this thread, you’ll have to use these solutions to augment your existing teams.

3 Tips for embracing the future of cybersecurity
On the road to artificial intelligence security, there are a few steps you can take to get yourself closer to the future:

Invest in staying future-focused with your technology. The costs of being exploited due to outdated technology or using redundant manual labor will be far greater as threats become more elaborate. Staying ahead of the curve can help mitigate some risk. By using forward-thinking solutions such as Kaspersky Integrated Endpoint Security, you’ll be more prepared to adapt.
Supplement your teams with AI and ML, do not replace them. Vulnerabilities will still exist, as no system on the market today is foolproof. Since even these adaptive systems can be deceived by clever attack methods, be sure your IT team learns to work with and support this infrastructure.
Routinely update your data policies to comply with evolving legislation. Data privacy has become a focal point for governing bodies across the globe. As such, it will remain among the top points of concern for most enterprises and organizations for the foreseeable future. Be sure that you are keeping per the most recent policies.
