Priceless Artifacts in Iraq Protected Against Theft Using New SmartWater ‘Forensic Fingerprinting’

Leave a comment

LONDON, May 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Hundreds of thousands of priceless artifacts in several museums in Iraq have been protected from the threat of theft and looting by marking them with a unique invisible code, in a new security protocol that is to be made available around the World to protect ‘at risk’ museums, historic and archaeological sites.

Invisible to the naked eye, SmartWater glows yellow under UV black light.
Invisible to the naked eye, SmartWater glows yellow under UV black light.

Funded by the British Council, approximately 273,000 artifacts held in two Iraqi museums have been protected using this new approach. The project allows the priceless objects to be traced back to the site they were stolen from, making it easier for law enforcement agencies to prove theft, thereby creating a powerful deterrent to would-be thieves and traffickers.

The innovative project, led by renowned archaeologist Professor Roger Matthews at the University of Reading, utilizes a specially prepared SmartWater forensic liquid to attach a unique chemical signature onto museum objects. The solution is invisible to the naked eye, only detectable under UV black light and scientists only need to recover a speck of SmartWater to prove which location the artifact was stolen from, the date the solution was applied and by whom.

Tests by scientists at Reading University established that the forensic liquid causes no damage to stone, pottery, metal, or glass and can withstand intense heat, harsh solvents, and extreme environmental conditions for decades. All the costs of R&D were funded by the SmartWater Foundation, the not for profit arm of The SmartWater Group, one of the World’s fastest growing risk management companies.

Professor Matthews said: “The items in the museum collections we worked with are priceless, with regards to the immense cultural value they offer to Iraq. This initiative effectively gives objects a chemical fingerprint, allowing them to be traced if they fall into the wrong hands. Moreover, it provides law enforcement agencies with the necessary evidence to arrest and prosecute those found in illegal possession of artifacts.”

The artifacts include inorganic pieces from all periods of Iraq’s past; stone-age axes to Neolithic pots dating back to 7000 BC when the world’s first agricultural villages were being established. In 2003, and during the ISIS occupation of Mosul between 2014 and 2017, items like this were frequently looted from museums, later resurfacing on international antiquity markets.

The problem of theft of artifacts from museums, archaeological and historic sites is growing, with temples in India being targeted, as well as archaeological sites in South America. In the USA, Native American sites are at risk, particularly the remote burial grounds that can be an easy target for thieves.

Colette Loll, Senior Advisor to the SmartWater Foundation, the not for profit arm of the SmartWater Group. said: ‘Due to their SmartWater forensic signature, these important museum collections are now traceable and can be repatriated if stolen or trafficked. We are essentially putting the art market on notice – forensic markers present a real risk to sellers AND buyers of stolen artifacts.”

Phil Cleary, CEO of the SmartWater Group said “We’re delighted that we’ve been able to support the implementation of this important initiative in Iraq, as it is totally aligned with our mission to reduce the risk of  theft, wherever it occurs.”

CyCraft Accelerates Growth in Japan by Allying with SecureBrain (a Hitachi Systems subsidiary) and Launching AI Security Services

Leave a comment

TAIPEI, May 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — On Cycraft Japan’s first anniversary, it announces SecureBrain (Headquarters: Chiyoda, Tokyo, President and CEO: Kenichi Aoyama) has become an authorized CyCraft Japan partner, and will now offer CyCraft AIR in Japan to achieve a new height in AI-driven cyber protection.

Hackers have grown far stealthier and potent than ever before, making it virtually impossible to completely prevent intrusions. Organizations, now adopting an “assumed breach” mindset, deploy security tools accordingly. Among them, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is used to strengthen the depth of endpoint defense, and AI is used to increase the speed of information security analysis and operations. CyCraft AIR combines these two technologies to make the most effective solution to combat modern cyber threats.

Before the advent of CyCraft AIR, EDR required professional-level security experts, took a lot of time to conduct large-scale investigations and analysis, and was difficult to integrate successfully into an organization’s daily defense. CyCraft AIR solves those issues with its automated AI engine that supports the MITRE ATT&CK® information security framework. In minutes it can analyze every threat an organization is facing, no matter the scale, and produce an actionable, easily understood report, in addition to regularly issuing security notifications, clearly visualized analyses, and remediation recommendations. For the first time ever, the problem of information security can now be solved without expert interpretation or combing through voluminous security data.

“CyCraft’s artificial intelligence and SecureBrain’s talented experts together bring a new security service level to Japanese customers in defending modern hackers: full-scale monitoring, deep analytics, and the fastest response yet,” said James Cheng, CyCraft Japan COO.

CyCraft AIR can simultaneously achieve lightweight deployment, clear visualization of attacks, and rapid reporting of cases. The software that scans the endpoints can be run once (installation-free), scheduled, or continuously to fit customer needs. Horizontal correlation analysis of attacks and hidden devices are marked with topological maps and threat severity is easily understood by color. The complex intrusion routes of hackers pass through AI processing, creating simple and easy-to-understand Japanese reports for decision makers to quickly ascertain and act on their situation. As such, CyCraft AIR can conduct security investigations in minutes without the need for installation. In Japan, it has already successfully helped many organizations respond quickly, thoroughly, and accurately to cybersecurity emergencies. Through AI, companies can quickly take countermeasures early in a cyber attack, and vastly reduce time-consuming evidence collection at the risk of further harm.

“SecureBrain is excited to partner with CyCraft to deliver an AI-driven SecOps platform to help Japanese enterprises respond faster to new cyber attacks and stay one step ahead,” said Motoaki Yamamura, SecureBrain COO.

Remote Work Trend Boosts Global Demand for Network Access Control Solutions

Leave a comment

The global NAC market is estimated to reach $2.21 billion by 2024, finds Frost & Sullivan

SANTA CLARA, California, April 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis, Global Network Access Control Market, Forecast to 2024, finds that the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), the convergence of information technology (IT) and operation technology (OT), and customers’ migration to the cloud at a faster pace are rapidly driving the NAC market. The sector is estimated to increase by two-thirds, reaching $2.21 billion by 2024 from $1.35 billion in 2019, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. With 60.2% market share, North America will continue to be the largest market for NAC until 2024; APAC is the fastest-growing region and its share of the global NAC market is estimated to increase from 9.9% in 2019 to 11.9% in 2024. The COVID-19 pandemic will cause a severe slowdown in 2020. Thereafter, the NAC market is expected to regain annual double-digit growth rates as organizations settle into a “new normal.”

“Security vendors are working closely with their customers in order to support them in this unprecedented transition to work from home (WFH). They are focused on ensuring their clients’ business continuity, and the pandemic has underlined the value of cloud services in delivering and deploying security solutions to remote devices,” said Tony Massimini, Senior Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “However, the cloud environment needs security as well. Having a remote workforce highlights the need to leverage NAC. Large cybersecurity vendors with broad product portfolios will want to add this solution as well.”

Vendors should continue to innovate cloud security, work closely with AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and other tech vendors, and focus on virtual appliances and NAC as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Additionally, NAC is adapting to a more mobile environment as enterprises expand beyond the traditional secure walls.  

The complexity of 802.1X deployment (one of the best methods for authentication), surging diversity of IoT devices, and increasing NAC solution costs for large enterprises are likely to hinder the market. NAC vendors’ move to work beyond the traditional IT perimeter and innovation in other technologies will boost growth opportunities via:

  • Incorporating NAC into OT to improve security tools for better coordination and to leverage IoT technology.
  • Focusing on virtual appliances and SaaS for customers’ quick migration to public and private clouds.
  • Instrumentalizing the concept of zero trust networking (ZTN)—the never trust, always verify principle—so security vendors, including NAC, can promote their capabilities via integration of their product portfolios.
  • Capitalizing on use cases of IoT, BYOD, and mobility, which are increasing at a significant rate. Most IoT devices do not have the resources to handle an agent, so agentless technology is required.

FORTINET: Protecting Remote Workforce and Distributed Network

Leave a comment

SINGAPORE, April 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Organizations around the world are engaged in one of the most rapid network transformation exercises in history. In Singapore and across the region, thousands of workers are now working from home, small branch offices, or in modified shifts to ensure their health and safety while ensuring business continuity.

A teleworker program requires careful handling to safeguard  infrastructure and accommodate new network demands, whilst coping with the sudden surge of endpoints across multiple environments. Once an organization’s basic teleworker solution is in place, consider enhancing it with additional tools to provide extra security and simplification.

Security is critical now more than ever because cybercriminals are likely to target organizations that have made a sudden transition to a mobile worker framework. Fortinet’s threat intelligence unit has tracked an increase in malicious activity related to the novel coronavirus. Unfortunately, FortiGuard Labs researchers found that cybercriminals are using the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to try and steal money and personal information by generating social engineering scams via email, text, and phone calls. 

Over the past few weeks, there has been an increase in attempts to lure unsuspecting victims into going to malicious sites, clicking on malicious links, or providing personal information over the phone under the auspices of COVID-19. Many of these scams attempt to impersonate legitimate organizations, such as the Ministry of Health (MOH) or the World Health Organization, by offering fake information updates and even promises of access to vaccines – all for a price, of course.

One way to strengthen security is educate employees to heighten security awareness as the workforce moves to a more autonomous and exposed remote environment. While businesses can compensate for many of the new risks that new technologies pose to the organization (such as updating or upgrading secure email gateway and web filtering solutions), it is also essential that leaders understand that these workers have become, in many ways, both the most vulnerable targets as well as the front line for defending the network.

Fortinet’s threat intelligence shows that anyone can be a target to obtain access to business networks and sensitive information. For employees now connecting to the office through home networks, even children are potential targets. Beware. Cybercriminals are experts in the art of masquerading, manipulating, influencing, and devising lures to trick targets into divulging sensitive data, and/or giving them access to home and business networks and/or facilities.

There is already a global shortage of 4 million cybersecurity professionals according to a study conducted by (ISC2). This problem is exacerbated with the recent mass migration to ‘work-from-home’ environments that put even more pressure on infrastructure teams to balance performance and security. Another way to strengthen security is to use artificial intelligence (AI) and automation as part of the threat protection strategy.

Over 440,000 organizations that deploy Fortinet solutions already enjoy advanced threat protection using AI. Fortinet devices are linked by the Fortinet Security Fabric platform that takes advantage of a common Fortinet operating system and an open application programming interface (API) environment to create a broad, integrated, and automated security architecture.

When managing a remote and distributed workforce, centralized security visibility and management are essential. It is important that support for telecommuting does not jeopardize an organization’s cybersecurity. This is where automated security comes in to alleviate the manpower crunch. With the Fortinet Security Fabric, all of an organization’s devices, including those deployed remotely to support telework, can be monitored and managed from a single pane of glass.

Fortinet solutions offer an integrated solution to support telework. For organizations using Fortinet, their existing technology deployment already contains this functionality. FortiGate next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) have integrated support for IPsec VPNs, enabling remote workers to connect securely to the company network.

Additional measures that companies should take as more work is done remotely:

  • Confirm the VPN capabilities/utilization and determine if they are adequate
  • Require the use of multi-factor authentication
  • Log and monitor everything and pay attention to anomalous behaviour
  • Monitor the final disposition of data accessed by privileged access users
  • Monitor the key applications and dependencies for anomalous behavior

Deploying large-scale VPN solutions for remote users is a thoughtful process. Beyond enabling simple access, things such as segmenting users based on role, security profile, and the content and resources they require are first-order tasks. Teams also need to identify users that require special access to resources.

Risk management and resiliency require careful planning, combined with an experienced team trained to deal with critical situations in flux. It is essential that teams keep their heads, understand their objectives, and execute strategies with a common goal in mind – maintaining operational consistency, including ensuring that the organization does not compromise on security for the sake of expediency.

People have all been practicing social distancing over the last few weeks to protect against viruses and illness. Likewise, companies should consider cyber distancing from the attackers. Maintain cyber distance by staying wary of suspicious requests, unknown attempts at contact, and unsolicited information and be the protector of information, networks, and health.
