🎥 Webinar - AWS and Suricata (Fundamentals)

We will be hosting an open webinar about the applicability and usage of Network Intrusion Detection Systems (specifically Suricata) and traffic analyses in AWS environments.

In it we'll cover the role network intrusion detection systems play in the MITRE ATT&CK AWS Matrix, networking, deploying and configuring Suricata as well as spending some time with 3CS AutoMirror to create an automated workflow that increases resiliency and security of your NIDS deployments.

The event is interactive and attendees are encouraged to participate as much as possible.

The undetectable way of exporting an AWS DynamoDB

Image
In this post we'll go over how we found a limitation in the current AWS CloudTrail logging features that limit detection capabilities of possible abuse against AWS DynamoDB, in the event of the user's AWS IAM keys being compromised. The objective of this article is to make users aware of this limitation and discuss alternatives for increasing the detection of attacks that might abuse it. This information was shared initially with AWS and only after going through the disclosure process with their security team did we decide to write it. Introduction & Methodology  A big part of the work done for our MDR platform comes from adversary simulation. Even though a lot of effort is put into developing our detection capabilities against a known killchain , we're constantly looking for alternative ways of attacking AWS workloads, regardless if the techniques are seen being used in the wild or not. Our methodology for doing these simulations is quite straightforward. We sta

Trapdoor - The serverless HTTP honeypot

Image
  Today we are announcing the release of Trapdoor , our AWS-based serverless honeypot.  The idea of a serverless honeytoken isn't new. Adel released his honeyLambda a few years ago and we've been working with it for quite some time. It was because of this experience and the goal of improving on what was already a great idea that we decided to go to the drawing board and see how we would change and tweak the concept.  What is it? Trapdoor is a serverless application that can be deployed in any AWS environment. Its goal is to receive HTTP requests with the intent of identifying, and alerting, on its visitors. The URLs generated by Trapdoor can also be referred to as honeytokens .  While you can get creative on how to use it, one of the goals of a honeytoken is to be hidden or stored in a "safe" place and, if accessed, fire of an alarm, as access to the token would be considered a compromise or unauthorized access.  This example is the passive way of using deception ta

Detection as Code (DaC) challenges - Introducing Automata

Image
This blog post is the second part of our Detection as Code (DaC) challenges series. You can read part one here . The development process of detections by itself doesn't pose a lot of barriers for security engineering teams, as they are typically done in a lab/controlled environment, but after tuning and deploying rules to a SIEM, the work is only starting. Many things can go wrong after this, and a process of continued and automated testing is crucial. Detection Validation In an ideal (and fictional) world, once the datasets are parsed, normalized, and put into production, detections developed by your team would work forever. Still, the reality is quite different. Maintenance is heavy work that needs to be done frequently - especially if you work on an MSP - but the reality is that the ecosystem lacks tooling and processes to do it proactively. Effectiveness is an important metric and crucial to the successful response of incidents in time, and effectiveness is what we aim to ensu
