Is Encryption the Answer to Data Security Post Lockdown? #NCSAM – Infosecurity Magazine

Remote work and working from home has grown exponentially over the past decade. In fact, a 2018 study from Apricorn found that 100 per cent of surveyed IT decision makers noted that they had employees who work remotely at least some of the time.

However, theCOVID-19 pandemicand resulting lockdown have forced a large number of employees into unfamiliar territory, not just remote work, but full-time working from home (WFH). While some businesses may have long adopted remote work strategies as part of increased flexibility, others have resisted due to the risks posed to data security and compliance efforts.

Worryingly, a more recent (2020) survey by Apricorn found that more than half (57 percent) of UK IT decision makers still believe that remote workers will expose their organization to the risk of a data breach. Employees unintentionally putting data at risk remains the leading cause of a data breach, with lost or misplaced devices the second biggest cause.

More than a remote risk

Whilst some are already transitioning back into the workplace, many are questioning whether WFH could become the new norm. The issue remains however, that remote working brings a number of challenges to data protection: be it an increased risk of external attacks, or employees tendency to relax security practices when working from home. Whatever the case, sensitive information leaving the confines of the office walls will always be more vulnerable than when it is safely secured on the corporate network.

Employees may well be tempted to use personal devices when working from home, or businesses may have introduced the need for video conferencing tools, or document sharing services, but it is critical that businesses take the onus on securing information before employees further put data at risk.

Our survey found that, of those with an information security strategy that covers employees use of their own IT equipment for mobile/remote working, forty two per cent said they permitted only corporate IT provisioned/approved devices, and have strict security measures in place to enforce this with endpoint control. Additionally, seven percent tell employees theyre not allowed to use removable media, but dont have technology in place to prevent this.

Every organization should cover the use of employees own IT equipment for mobile and remote working in their information security strategy. If businesses want to secure data on the move, it is essential that encryption and endpoint control is applied to all devices, whether that be laptops, mobile phones, or removable devices such asUSBs.

Data must remain on lockdown

Despite COVID restrictions showing some signs of easing, data must always remain on lockdown. Whether working from home or not, the GDPR has clear mandates for data encryption; firstly for compliance (Article 32); secondly to mitigate the impact on any organization who suffers a breach (Article 34) which removes the obligation to individually inform each citizen affected if the data remains unintelligible.

Additionally, article 83 suggests that fines will be moderated where the company has been responsible and mitigated any damage suffered by data subjects. Businesses will find that they are in a stronger position to defend themselves in the event of a breach should they be able to demonstrate the use of encryption practices.

The good news is that we have seen an increase in encryption and endpoint control. Nearly all survey respondents (94%) say their organization has a policy that requires encryption of all data held on removable media. Of those that encrypt all data held on removable media, more than half (57%) hardware encrypt all information as standard.

Businesses are seeing the value of encryption, but this is an ongoing process and it needs to cover all devices. The research highlighted that a number of those surveyed have no further plans to expand encryption on USB sticks (38%), laptops (32%), desktops (37%), mobiles (31%) and portable hard drives (40%). With so much data now moving beyond the corporate perimeter, its imperative to address the importance of encryption in protecting sensitive information, whilst giving staff the flexibility required to work remotely.

The value of encryption

Hardware encryption offers much greater security than software encryption and PIN pad authenticated, hardware encrypted USB storage devices offer additional, significant benefits. Being software-free eliminates the risk of keylogging and doesnt restrict usage to specific Operating Systems; all authentication and encryption processes take place within the device itself, so passwords and key data are never shared with a host computer. This makes it particularly suited for use in highly regulated sectors such as defense, finance, government and healthcare.

By deploying removable storage devices with built-in hardware encryption, a business can roll this approach out across the workforce, ensuring all data can be stored or moved around safely offline. Even if the device is lost or stolen, the information will be unintelligible to anyone not authorized to access it.

The pandemic has thrown up many challenges this year, but data protection should not have been one of them. It should not be an afterthought, something incorporated into the business strategy as a result of an incident, but one thats core to business operations and security best practice.

Organizations should analyze their data, identify everything that should be protected, understand where it exists and how it is transported, and ensure that it is encrypted at all stages of its lifecycle. Encryption and endpoint control can ensure that data remains secure and businesses can be prepared for the risks that come with an enduring remote workforce.

The Police Can Probably Break Into Your Phone – The New York Times

The companies frequently turn over data to the police that customers store on the companies servers. But all iPhones and many newer Android phones now come encrypted a layer of security that generally requires a customers passcode to defeat. Apple and Google have refused to create a way in for law enforcement, arguing that criminals and authoritarian governments would exploit such a back door.

The dispute flared up after the mass shootings in San Bernardino, Calif., in 2015 and in Pensacola, Fla., last year. The F.B.I. couldnt get into the killers iPhones, and Apple refused to help. But both spats quickly sputtered after the bureau broke into the phones.

Phone-hacking tools have served as a kind of a safety valve for the encryption debate, said Riana Pfefferkorn, a Stanford University researcher who studies encryption policy.

Yet the police have continued to demand an easier way in. Instead of saying, We are unable to get into devices, they now say, We are unable to get into these devices expeditiously, Ms. Pfefferkorn said.

Congress is considering legislation that would effectively force Apple and Google to create a back door for law enforcement. The bill, proposed in June by three Republican senators, remains in the Senate Judiciary Committee, but lobbyists on both sides believe another test case could prompt action.

Phone-hacking tools typically exploit security flaws to remove a phones limit on passcode attempts and then enter passcodes until the phone unlocks. Because of all the possible combinations, a six-digit iPhone passcode takes on average about 11 hours to guess, while a 10-digit code takes 12.5 years.

The tools mostly come from Grayshift, an Atlanta company co-founded by a former Apple engineer, and Cellebrite, an Israeli unit of Japans Sun Corporation. Their flagship tools cost roughly $9,000 to $18,000, plus $3,500 to $15,000 in annual licensing fees, according to invoices obtained by Upturn.

The encryption war is on again, and this time government has a new strategy – ZDNet

We could soon be in for a new round of the encryption wars, but this time governments are taking a different approach.

Seven governments from across the world have started a new campaign to try and persuade big tech companies to reduce the level of security they offer to customers using their services.

The seven -- US, UK, Canada, Australia , New Zealand, India and Japan -- are worried that the use of end-to-end encryption makes it impossible for tech companies to identify dangerous content like terrorist propaganda and attack planning, and makes it harder for police to investigate serious crimes and protect national security.

SEE: Security Awareness and Training policy (TechRepublic Premium)

Their statement starts boldly: "We, the undersigned, support strong encryption", saying that it plays a crucial role in protecting personal data, privacy, intellectual property, trade secrets and cybersecurity, and in repressive states protects journalists, human rights defenders and other vulnerable people.

Then, of course, comes the big caveat: "We urge industry to address our serious concerns where encryption is applied in a way that wholly precludes any legal access to content." The sort of end-to-end encryption that means messages can't be intercepted, or that a hard drive can never be read without the key, "pose significant challenges to public safety", the seven governments warn.

This of course is where things get trickier. These governments want tech companies to make it possible to act against illegal content and activity, but with no reduction to safety -- something that tech companies insist is impossible.

"We challenge the assertion that public safety cannot be protected without compromising privacy or cybersecurity. We strongly believe that approaches protecting each of these important values are possible and strive to work with industry to collaborate on mutually agreeable solutions," the statement concludes.

Tech companies argue that end-to-end encryption protects users' privacy rights, and it to weaken it -- by creating a so-called 'backdoor' that would allow the authorities to look at messages -- would put all sorts of private communications at risk from hackers and force them to decide whether to hand over messages to oppressive regimes. End-to-end encryption makes the tech companies' lives easier, and also allows them to claim the moral high-ground when it comes to privacy.

So it there anything new in this? Governments have been half-heartedly trying to refight the cryptowars for years now, with little success -- largely because they know that coming up with a fix for this is hard.

They know it's all but impossible to ban the use of end-to-end encryption. Sure, you could pass laws to ban it, and maybe block encrypted apps from local app stores if they used it, or make it illegal to posses them. But that's insanely hard to justify and even harder to enforce -- even for states like Russia, which have tried to ban encrypted services.

And even if you did go for a ban, organised crime would simply get hold of encryption on the black market or from abroad, and would be just as well-protected as ever. But the average person on the street would be unable to access strong encryption, and would be more at risk of hacking as a result.

A policy that makes the average person less secure, while doing little to tackle the real problem, seems unlikely to gain much support. Imagine being the politician who has to explain to the country that their data has just been scooped up by a foreign power as a result.

The UK's GCHQ has come up with an idea called 'ghost protocol', which would add the government as a secret eavesdropper into every call. But although GCHQ's scheme has technical merit, if tech companies said 'yes' to one agency they would struggle to exclude others -- that chat with your mates about what to watch on Netflix could quickly become crowded with spies from around the world.

That's because governments will inevitably over-reach and use such powers to increase their general surveillance. It's worth remembering that many of these tech companies introduced end-to-end encryption precisely because governments were cheerfully snooping on everyone's conversations in the first place. Many would say it's brazen of governments to now ask us to trust them again.

So what's going on here? Adding two new countries -- Japan and India -- the statement suggests that more governments are getting worried, but the tone is slightly different now. Perhaps governments are trying a less direct approach this time, and hoping to put pressure on tech companies in a different way.

"I find it interesting that the rhetoric has softened slightly," says Professor Alan Woodward of the University of Surrey. "They are no longer saying 'do something or else'".

What this note tries to do is put the ball firmly back in the tech companies' court, Woodward says, by implying that big tech is putting people at risk by not acceding to their demands -- a potentially effective tactic in building a public consensus against the tech companies.

SEE: Network security policy (TechRepublic Premium)

"It seems extraordinary that we're having this discussion yet again, but I think that the politicians feel they are gathering a head of steam with which to put pressure on the big tech companies," he says.

Even if police and intelligence agencies can't always get encrypted messages from tech companies, they certainly aren't without other powers. The UK recently passed legislation giving law enforcement wide-ranging powers to hack into computer systems in search of data.

So will governments find more success with their new softer approach? In the short term, probably not. End-to-end encryption creates real and tragic problems for police and the victims of crime, yet governments have not made a decent case for making us all less secure in response to those problems. Still, governments are increasingly conscious of the impact of big tech companies, and are increasingly willing to take them on. It may only take a few high-profile situations where strong encryption prevents a terrible crime from being stopped or investigated, for governments to think that public opinion can be shifted in their direction.

US and 6 allies pressure tech companies to weaken encryption – Business Insider – Business Insider

The US and six of its allies are calling on big tech companies to weaken encryption in order to make it easier for law enforcement to break into messaging apps like iMessage or WhatsApp.

Officials from the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and India joined US Attorney General William Barr to issue an international statement last week criticizing tech companies that currently offer end-to-end encryption.

Barr has been pressuring tech companies to weaken encryption for years, arguing that end-to-end encryption makes it harder for law enforcement to track down criminals. The Department of Justice has called out Facebook and Apple for providing end-to-end encryption, but both companies have so far refused to weaken their security protocols.

Services like WhatsApp, iMessage, Signal, and Zoom use end-to-end encryption, which means all messages are automatically encrypted and can only be decrypted by the unique "key" found on the devices of the sender and recipient. That means nobody including law enforcement or even the companies that own the apps can access the messages without obtaining a users' device and logging in.

The seven governments want tech companies to find a way to build "back doors" into messaging apps that would let police easily access the messages of suspects in criminal investigations. They also argue that encryption makes it impossible for tech companies to enforce their own terms of service and prevent illegal activity on their apps.

"Law enforcement has a responsibility to protect citizens by investigating and prosecuting crime and safeguarding the vulnerable," the countries wrote in the statement. "End-to-end encryption that precludes lawful access to the content of communications in any circumstances directly impacts these responsibilities, creating severe risks to public safety."

Last year, all of the same countries except Japan and India issued a similar statement calling on tech companies to create backdoors. Tech companies have consistently objected, arguing that there's no way to build such backdoors without eliminating end-to-end encryption altogether.

Security experts have echoed that sentiment. Chris Howell, CTO of encrypted messaging app Wickr, said the governments' calls would effectively imperil people's privacy and make apps more vulnerable to cybercriminals in an interview with Business Insider earlier this year.

"There is no security mechanism that can discriminate between a hacker trying to crack it and a law enforcement officer trying to do the same thing," Howell said. "Either we secure it or we don't, it's that simple."

Down the encryption tunnel with NordVPN – ComputerWeekly.com

The lions share of the product analysis carried out by Inspect-a-Gadget is typically hardware-based.

Theyre things, devices, tools, machines and extensions i.e. the focus here is gadgets thats why its called Inspect-a-Gadget.

But lets just stop for a moment we did say tools and, increasingly, we are referring to applications, web services and app components as tools. After all, these things are built by engineers; but in this case (obviously) its software engineers.

Of all the laptops, tablets, smartphones and cameras we typically take on the road, there is one software-based tool that come up again and again a VPN.

As many readers will know, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a piece of software designed to create a safe and encrypted web connection. TechTarget clarifies further and says that a VPN typically, it is used over a less secure network, such as the public Internet. It uses tunneling protocols to encrypt data at the sending end and decrypt it at the receiving end. The originating and receiving network addresses are also encrypted to provide better security for online activities.

Crucially (especially in 2020) a VPN can also be used to provide remote employees with access to software applications hosted on proprietary networks.

Among the more vocal providers in this space is NordSec, the company behind NordVPN, an organisation with offices in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Cyprus, the USA, Lithuania, Switzerland, and Panama.

NordVPN says that logging into a UK server via its service renders Evil Twin, MITM, WiFi sniffing etc. useless, but you (the users) still need to be wary of phishing and all other forms of malware and ransomware etc.

So how does it work and, is VPN encrypted public WiFi is safer than WiFi you have at home?

When a user connects to the Internet through a VPN, the Internet traffic goes through an encrypted tunnel, securing data and redirecting it to one of the servers of the VPN provider. Not only does a VPN tunnel encrypt data, but it also hides IP address and location.

The difference between home connection and the VPN protected WiFi is as follows a home connection is protected with WPA2 encryption that encrypts local networks. Local network is also password protected, which makes it harder to crack. A VPN encrypts all online traffic coming out of the device.

So what happens when your data reaches a VPN providers server?

When the data arrives at the VPN server, the outer packet is removed to access the data within through decryption. Neither ISPs nor hackers can read it, even if they manage to intercept it. Since there are no logs, information cannot be traced back to the user, said Daniel Markuson, digital privacy expert at NordVPN.

Markuson continues, Any data sent over the Internet needs to be split into packets. Visually speaking, private data is split, encapsulated and passed through the encrypted VPN tunnel. When the data arrives at the VPN server, the outer packet is removed to access the data within through decryption. This is how information entered to the banking site is invisible to hackers.

So the position from NordVPN states that an unprotected public Wi-Fi is more vulnerable than a home Wi-Fi connection. However, when comparing the two, the level of safety depends on the configuration of both networks.

When it comes to using a home Wi-Fi, malware injections and Wi-Fi sniffing are just as plausible. Most routers are protected with WPA2 encryption, but security holes can appear due to delayed updates. Old devices usually dont use encryption, and their outdated firmware does not receive security patches, which are essential to avoid hacking attempts, said Markuson.

In 2017, Australia joined the US and UK authorities in holding Russia responsible for a series of cyberattacks that had affected millions of commercially available routers worldwide. According to the joint technical alert issued by the US Department of Homeland Security and the FBI and the UKs National Cyber Security Center, the attacks were not that difficult to pull off, as many network devices lack proper protection against remote intrusions.

Cybersecurity aside, the team at NordVPN explain that privacy can be equally threatened on public Wi-Fi and at home. Both of these networks are supplied by a particular Internet Service Provider (ISP), which might eavesdrop on connections or log user traffic. With Net Neutrality repealed in the US, ISPs are free to exploit paid prioritisation a concept where telecom companies charge an additional fee to transport a video stream or other content faster through its network.

Markuson concludes by reminding us that a VPN wont compensate for basic security awareness. Even though cybersecurity tools block part of malicious domains, if users deliberately access unsecured sites, click on malware-loaded ads and follow suspicious URLs, cybercrime is inevitable.

Zoom Announces the Availability of End-to-End Encryption Offering – Enterprise Security Mag

Zooms first priority is the trust and safety of its users, and our implementation of E2EE will allow us to continue to enhance safety on our platform.

FREMONT, CA: Zoom announces the availability of its end-to-end encryption (E2EE) offering as a technical preview, proactively compiling feedback from users for the first 30 days. Zoom users - free and paid -around the globe can host up to 200 participants in an E2EE meeting on Zoom, delivering increased privacy and security for Zoom sessions.

In May, Zoom announced its plans to build an end-to-end-encrypted meeting option into its platform, on top of Zooms already strong encryption and advanced security features. The company is pleased to roll out Phase 1 of 4 of its E2EE offering, which offers robust protections to prevent the interception of decryption keys that could be used to monitor meeting content.

Precisely, Zooms E2EE uses the same powerful GCM encryption users get now in a Zoom meeting. The only difference is where these encryption keys live. In typical meetings, the Zoom cloud creates encryption keys and distributes them to meeting participants using Zoom apps as they join. With Zooms E2EE, the meeting host creates encryption keys and uses public-key cryptography to distribute these keys to the other meeting participants. Zooms servers become oblivious relays and never see the encryption keys needed to decrypt the meeting contents.

End-to-end encryption is another step toward making Zoom the most secure communications platform in the world. This phase of its E2EE offering delivers the same security as existing end-to-end-encrypted messaging platforms, but with the video quality and scale that has made Zoom the communications solution of choice of many people and the worlds largest enterprises. Zooms E2EE will be available as a technical preview next week. To use it, customers must allow E2EE meetings at the account level and opt-in to E2EE on a per-meeting basis.
