Trust in Tech – Modern Awareness Building through Nudging, Gamification & Co – Quick Recap

Modern Awareness Building through Nudging, Gamification & Co: Why is Psychology So Important in Cyber ​​Security? How do employees become the human firewall of a company? Dr. Niklas Hellemann from Cologne-based SoSafe GmbH presented current findings from cognitive psychology and learning theory and their implications for modern security awareness programs – mixed with lively anecdotes and application tips from practice as well as data stories from their own phishing simulation projects for various types of companies. So let us recap some of his findings.

Dr. Niklas Hellemann is a certified psychologist, long-term management consultant and CEO of SoSafe Cyber ​​Security Awareness. As an expert in social engineering, he deals with innovative methods of employee awareness. SoSafe is a young Start-Up, founded in Cologne. Together with Lukas Schaefer and Felix Schuerholz the Team consist of 20+ people from different domains such as CyberSec, Sofware Dev, Design, Marketing and Engineering.

No rise of user focused threats

Cybercriminality became a business, phishing quickly took the throne of the most common threats. Small costs but potentially high revenue is what Cybercriminals can expect. According to data from Proofpoint and Forbes 91 Percent of all threats start with a phishing mail, causing damage up to 3 million Euro in 2018. Especially small-mid organizations with an underdeveloped security posture are preferred targets.

Cybercriminals don`t aim for the technical solutions like exploits, as the Service as a Service market grew larger, sophisticated phishing campaigns can be build with less resources. These Mails cannot be recognized from spam filters and will find their way to a user.

Next Generation Security Awareness

Regular Security Awareness campaigns like on-site lectures are time consuming, not flexible and hard to apply to all employees. Communication-campaigns via mail are doomed to stay unread and won´t last in the minds.

Next generation security awareness focuses not only on creating awareness but on changing the habits. SoSafe has identified 3 Ways to change habits. Incidential Learning, Nudging and Gamification.

The first is learning through immediate Feedback, Nudges are small “hints” in your daily life that could make you, change your decision (like having fruits in eye sight, when you enter your kitchen). Through gamification will start seeing awareness as a contest, maybe through placing QR Badges at stair-houses.

Some interesting Observations

In one of their interactions, the customers employees probability to click on a mail, has doubled when the supervisor is the sender.

“Loose lips save ships!” – People who don´t work remote are less likely to click on a mail. The communication between the desks is key.

Thank you Dr. Niklas Hellemann for your talk and showing us this side of Cyber Security.

Trust in Tech – Active Directory Security 

December, 12th.

https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/Trust-in-Tech-Cologne/events/255966245/

Abstract:

Identities are an crucial part in modern attack scenarios and impersonate identities is one of the main goals for an attacker.
In the first part of this meetup we will guide you through the basics of building an Active Directory, where we explain roles and services. In the 2nd part we then talk about, how an attacker can start his lateral movement with compromised accounts, using pass the hash attacks and golden tickets, to reach their end game goals and getting persistence in the companies network. In the 3rd part we’ll than discuss the latest and greatest in identity protection where we introduce you to solutions like Microsoft Advanced Threat Analytics and Azure Advanced Threat Protection – which are the enterprise solutions in Microsoft portfolio to protect, detect and respond to cyber attacks focused on identities.

 

Speakers:
Thomas von Fragstein:
Thomas works as an IT-Security Consultant at sepago GmbH since 2012 with a wide experience from configuring and securing Active Directory to migrating customers to Office 365. As customers awareness for detecting compromised identities is growing, Thomas has focused on helping customers to deploy Microsofts Adavanced Threat Analytics and Azure Advanced Threat Protection for identity protection.

Sven Bloch:
When Sven joined sepago GmbH his first task was to learn everything about Active Directory Domain Services and their features. Quickly, he built up experience in how to manage, deploy and protect an Active Directory.

 

Cologne is be the place to be, the exact Location will be announced soon…

Trust In Tech – Let’s talk about Security II – Session Abstracts

 

Hasain Alshakarti 

Securing Privileged Access First

Cyber-attackers target accounts and other elements of privileged access to rapidly gain access to targeted data and systems using credential theft and reuse attacks like token manipulation, Pass-the-Hash and Pass-the-Ticket.

 

Traditional security approaches have focused on using the organizations network as the primary security perimeter, but the network security is often bypassed especially when data and resources are hosted outside the traditional network boundary or when the adversaries obtains access on workstations inside the network boundary through phishing and other attacks.

 

Using examples from incidents, attacks and red team assignments to demonstrate the importance of governing privileged access and how it minimizes your organization’s attack surface and thwart in-progress attacks.

 

 

DIY – Cybersecurity Detection and Response Today’s biggest challenge is that many organizations are not capable of detecting security breaches and are not able to properly respond to attacks. The major failure noted when investigating a breach is the gap between the speed of compromise and the speed of detection.

 

IT security needs to shift from prevention and protection to investing in capabilities that can detect a threat when it occurs. Responders must be able to act quickly while investigating a threat and the potential business impact of the breach.

 

Using insights from numerous incident cases we walk you through a sample attack to showcase the importance of good detection and response capabilities.

 
 

Alexander Benoit

The new era of endpoint security. Why you should at least build showcases to detect, analyse and react to cyber-attacks now!

 

Cyber Security & Defense is the emerging topic of the IT industry these days. A secure environment is no longer just a well-maintained firewall or a well-managed network. Rather, it is made up of several layers. However, most companies are „reactive“ instead of „proactive“, or neither, when it comes to securing their IT environments and detecting security breaches. In addition to this, the product portfolio and the security market is changing rapidly, and these changes make our jobs as IT Professionals significantly more difficult. But how can we deal with this challenge? In my session I will take a look into supposed “obvious“ security threats and how the Microsoft Cybersecurity stack can help to detect attackers and threats that have evaded our defenses.

The Lost Boys – How Linux and Mac platforms intersect with a Windows-centric Security World

 

So often the fact that Windows has such a large market share of the desktop/laptop market renders Linux and Mac as the Lost Boys in the world of security.  The session will focus on how neglecting Linux and Mac systems in your environment can radically affect your overall security posture.  We’ll cover quite a few real-world scenarios to highlight the importance of ensuring full and total coverage of endpoints, servers and cloud infrastructure, regardless of operating system.

Social Media: How you make yourself a target and help obstruct corporate security

 

In today’s world, online presence is important. Social networking profiles can create a competitive advantage for many organizations and individuals. Despite the benefits, a strong online presence can also become a vulnerability. Christina Lekati, a social engineering expert, will explain how the online presence of a company’s employees on social media can attract social engineers to target them, and then use them as “open doors” through the organizational security. The talk will cover the topic of information gathering through social media (information gathering is the most common denominator in every social engineering attack) and explain how even seemingly innocent information can be exploited and used to manipulate targets. The talk includes a two-part demonstration on how a hacker’s mind works when harvesting information on social media; The first part includes real examples of posts that expose vulnerabilities, attract attackers and ultimately lead to security breaches. The second part includes a demonstration on how the information one provides online are gathered, categorized, analyzed and then used to craft an attack, as well as how one ends up revealing online more than one intends to. The talk closes with practical recommendations and best practices. Keep in mind, that the purpose on this talk is not to turn people away from using online platforms but rather, to teach them how to use them responsibly. In security, training and awareness can be the catalytic factor between a successful or an unsuccessful attack attempt.
