The Defense Information Systems Agency(DISA Services Development (SD) Directorate DevSecOps Program is focused on the development of a Continuous Compliance Monitoring (CCM) approach for all DoD mission partners that monitors and provides compliance enforcement of containerized applications which cover all the DevSecOps pillars - Develop, Build, Test, Release and Deploy, and Runtime - for a secure posture with the focus being on automation and integration going forward. CCM is an automated process by which the DevSecOps team, including ISSMs and SCAs, can detect compliance issues and security threats during each phase of the DevSecOps pipeline. To date, the DevSecOps team...

Agency modernization, expanding cloud deployments, and distributed workforces create new planes of privilege for adversaries to exploit. When designing the future state of The Defense Department’s complex enterprise network, a least-privilege approach is critical to keep pace with adversaries and to lower your attack surface. With users and devices now accessing critical information, systems, and applications from anywhere, the mindset must be to never trust, always verify, and only allow privileged access when needed or contextual parameters are met.
Join BeyondTrust to understand why Privileged Access Management (PAM) is integral to secure the adoption of emerging initiatives across the government.

While the current defense-in-depth architecture has protected DoD data from adversaries in the past by placing various security products at multiple tiered locations, it has created silo’ed security architectures across NIPR and SIPR. The purpose of Thunderdome is to create a new zero trust security and network architecture that is dynamic, adaptable and can be extended from the user to the data edge. There are a lot of ways to describe zero trust, but there are three big, basic tenets of modern zero trust implementations: verify the user AND the device, make access and privileges conditional, and lastly, verify the data and applications explicitly. The bottom...

In the contested peer environment, speed, mobility, and cyber assurance are more critical than ever. This is particularly true in the joint coalition environment. To ensure future success, joint coalition interoperability needs data-management-as-a-service to leverage a substantial data plane for rapid access to assets in information warfare. When enabled for this capability, identity-focused cyber assurances across the security domains enable all joint coalition partners to operate at full speed to access data for the mission while minimizing risks by using least privilege and secure identity controls to attribute data.

Lumen’s Black Lotus Labs detected a new remote access trojan we’re calling ReverseRat. Based on our global telemetry and analysis, we identified that the actor is targeting government and energy organizations in the South and Central Asia regions with operational infrastructure hosted in Pakistan. ReverseRat was deployed in parallel with an open-source RAT called AllaKore to infect machines and achieve persistence. Given the critical nature of the sectors the actor is targeting, we advise security practitioners to learn the actor’s current tactics, tools and procedures to better defend their organizations against potential attacks.
The ReverseRat infection chain is noteworthy because of...

Being completely cut off is the only way to achieve 100% trust, but such a "Cone of Silence" approach didn't work for Agent Smart and it won't work for your federal agency if you need to collaborate with others.

Quantum computers can launch attacks that break asymmetric cryptography, rendering the entire PKI-based encryption method obsolete. In fact, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is researching way to deal with the effects of quantum power. As quantum technology advances, agencies will be forced to protect their information and communications against cryptographic attacks through quantum resistant technology.

Those methods are current techniques of key agreement procedures also known as key exchange protocols, regardless of Layer-1 encryption, MACsec, IPsec or TLS.
• Emergence of quantum computers with ultra-high processing power poses a significant threat to established methods of securing communications networks by breaking the asymmetric crypto algorithms
• Attackers today can read and store the dataflow including the key exchange, waiting until the quantum computer exists and decrypt stored data
