CompTIA International Policy Priorities

CompTIA has established itself as one of the leading authorities when it comes to international trade and how laws and regulations impact the U.S. tech sector. While ongoing negotiations with China tend to make most of the headlines, there are a number of other issues on tap for 2019 and more will no doubt pop up throughout the year.
Advance Customs Procedures and Practices that are Streamlined, Effective and Transparent

CompTIA advocates for policies that ensure the safety and security of shipments crossing borders. The aim is to support best practices for compliance with laws and regulations in a way that also minimizes financial and administrative impacts on our member companies.
Support Reasonable and Clearly Defined Export Regulations and Sanctions

CompTIA educates and keeps members current on U.S. export regulations for dual-use goods and technology and munitions items, as well as works with the U.S. Congress and the Administration as necessary to make U.S. export controls streamlined, effective, and transparent for both government and industry.
Expand Markets, Reduce Barriers, and Advocate for U.S. Tech Globally

International trade is vital to the U.S. technology industry and economy as tech is one of the largest sectors for exports. Tech exports reached an estimated $322 billion in 2017 and directly supported an estimated 805,000 American jobs. Further, exports account for approximately $1 out of every $4 generated in the nation’s tech industry. CompTIA supports trade policies that expand and open markets for the U.S. technology sector, prevent or eliminate trade barriers, and boost the global competitiveness of the industry.

DDoS Attack Mean for My Security?

You need to prepare and plan to manage a DDoS attack against your systems. You need to monitor, generate alerts, and quickly diagnose a DDoS attack in progress. The next step is shutting down the attack quickly without affecting your users. You can block the IP addresses using your Next-Gen Firewall, or close inbound traffic to the targeted system and failover to a backup. There are other response plans you can implement, make sure to have one. Some CDNs, like Cloudflare, also act as a reverse proxy which can further protect your WordPress site from DDoS attacks. An HTTP Flood attack, for example, is an application layer attack that targets a web server on the target and uses many fast HTTP requests to bring the server down. Think of it as pressing the refresh button in rapid-fire mode on your game controller. That kind of traffic from many thousands of computers at once will quickly drown the webserver. Who should consider using a CDN: Most websites can benefit from integrating a CDN

Profiling Hackers in the MITRE ATT&CK Navigator

Using the MITRE ATT&CK Navigator or similar tools, organizations can categorize attacks by specific threat groups and threat actors. It is even possible to profile the technologies and the procedures attackers use. In short, you will have a strong idea of the next move your opponents are going to make. Notice that each of the technologies is categorized into a version of the hacker lifecycle. The top of the page reads Initial access, Execution, Persistence, Privilege Escalation and so forth. These are the general steps that attackers take as they compromise a network. The MITRE ATT&CK Navigator then allows you to profile specific attack groups. Each group profiles an actual group of cyberattackers. Using this model, you can quickly identify how each group operates. Going back to my baseball analogy, imagine if you knew that a group of pitchers behaved a certain way. Now, you can profile that behavior and train your batters to best address how those pitchers are trying to defea

The Importance of Post-Attack Analysis

Comprehensive visibility into an organization’s network activity is essential not only to quickly combat DDoS threats, but also to enable compliance reporting and archive security event data that enables security audits and forensic analysis of past threats. Organizations can learn from past attacks to uncover hidden patterns of data and identify emerging vulnerabilities within the massive streams of security event data Without this level of visibility, it is impossible to determine how effectively an attack was mitigated and whether there were any false-positives which led to collateral damage that substantiates any service level agreement (SLA) claims. For over a decade, Corero has been providing state-of-the-art, highly-effective, automatic DDoS protection solutions for enterprise, hosting and service provider customers around the world.
