Design, build and deploy automation leveraging manually discovered security findings to scale vulnerability discovery efforts across thousands of microservices.Collaborate with solution experts to develop and deploy secure solutions.This position will be expected to identify security vulnerabilities and apply information technology solutions to mitigate security concerns.Įssential Functions, Responsibilities & Duties may include, but are not limited to: This position will also support our customer’s Enterprise Information Systems by applying cybersecurity technology solutions to their enterprise infrastructure, cloud, and applications.

This position is for junior cybersecurity analyst to support our team’s Managed Detection & Response (MDR) and Penetration Testing programs. This is a hybrid opportunity and the individual will need to be able to commute to Ashburn, Virginia. If there’s a compromise, it was always “someone else”.Obscurity Labs LLC is seeking an experienced Junior Cybersecurity Analyst to support our Commercial Cybersecurity customers. Think about group account logins, with more than one individual knowing the password. Who authorised the policy is only important to those that did authorise it, but not to the policy target readership! Having a broken policy with no clarity on who should be allowed to access what, with impeccable engineering implementation, does not result in a peaceful night’s sleep. The gaping holes here are “who” determines the “need to know” and how do they determine it? What do the employees have to do to obey this policy? Must the system enforce it, or is this a trust exercise? It doesn't need to be more than a page, but it must be a clear statement of the protection objectives of a system and what it is meant to achieve.

Information shall only be available to those with appropriate privileges.

All instances of nonconformity must be reported to the Security Office.

This policy has been approved by the Board.

Here’s an example of some particularly poor policy waffle: However, that policy piece in the middle is often neglected and quickly becomes the weakest link. Risk mitigation using the top-down design of a threat model, then a security policy and ultimately your security engineering mechanisms, can be an effective approach. If you know about it, you have a head-start on the bad guys – exploit it. With the ever increasing sophistication of reconnaissance toolkits available to theīad guys, relying on an information system vulnerability to remain hidden or unnoticed should never be part of your security policy. The repeating theme here is that nothing has been prevented, merely delayed. If we SSL encrypt our data feed to our business partner’s service, using self-signed SSL certificates, the bad guys can generate their own or acquire a copy of the certificate to read it all. If we don’t talk about the bugs found during testing of our new mobileapp, the bad guys have to fiddle around until they work them out.

If we don’t share our password to our bank website, the perpetrator has to guess it, compute it, or find the post-it note on our monitor.

It slows down the initial reconnaissance phase of an attack, but does nothing to prevent it. Security through obscurity is the use of secrecy to provide security. A defence in depth approach using more than one mechanism may benefit from a dose of obscurity, but otherwise obscurity is a toy. The diamond crew were daring, audacious and wouldn’t be able to pull the same stunt again for some time, having revealed their covert transportation channel. This is one of Bruce Schneier’s favourite examples in his book Beyond Fear, however the general consensus is that obscurity alone should not be used when protecting assets. It did, once, with the transportation of the 3,106 carat Cullinan Diamond, the world’s largest uncut diamond from South Africa to Edward VII in England.
