T0142 - Accidental public disclosure of internal resources

M1240

Mitigation

Enable data encryption at rest

Encryption at rest is essential for preventing data breaches, complying with data privacy regulations, and protecting sensitive data. Organizations must identify which data needs encryption, select appropriate encryption algorithms and key management strategies, and regularly audit and assess their encryption at rest implementation. Check your cloud provider documentation for more details on how to enable data encryption at rest.

Mitigation

Enable data sencryption in transit

Data encryption in transit is a critical security control in cloud computing that involves encrypting data as it moves between two points over a network or the internet. This is important to prevent data breaches, protect sensitive data, and comply with data privacy regulations. Cloud service providers use various encryption protocols to establish a secure communication channel, and organizations should ensure that encryption is properly implemented and verified. To implement data encryption in transit, cloud service providers use various encryption protocols such as Transport Layer Security (TLS), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), and Internet Protocol Security (IPsec). These protocols use encryption keys and digital certificates to establish a secure communication channel between the sender and receiver. The encryption process ensures that data is scrambled and unreadable to anyone without the proper decryption key. Check your cloud provider documentation for more details on how to enable data encryption in transit.

M1550

Mitigation

Implement strict access control for clouds

Limit access to cloud resources to only authorized users and ensure that proper authentication and authorization mechanisms are in place.

M1720

Mitigation

Implement regular patches and updates

Regular patches and updates are necessary to improve the security, performance, and reliability of software and systems. They include bug fixes, security updates, and performance improvements. Regular patches and updates also ensure compatibility with new technologies and can help maintain compliance with regulatory standards. Failure to install patches and updates can leave systems vulnerable to security threats, cause system failures or crashes, and limit the functionality of software and systems.

D1260

Detection

Implement regular security audit and review

Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments of your systems and storages configurations to identify and address any potential misconfigurations or vulnerabilities that could lead to exposed storage. This includes reviewing access controls, encryption settings, and other security configurations to ensure they are aligned with best practices and organizational security policies.

D1261

Detection

Implement penetration testing

Penetration testing, also known as ethical hacking or vulnerability assessment, is a proactive approach to mitigating cybersecurity risks. It involves simulating real-world cyber attacks on a system, network, or application in a controlled and authorized manner to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors.

D1262

Detection

Implement vulnerability assesment

Vulnerability assessment is a proactive approach to mitigating cybersecurity risks by systematically identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing vulnerabilities in a system, network, or application. It involves conducting regular assessments to identify potential weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers, and taking appropriate actions to remediate or mitigate those vulnerabilities.

D1510

Detection

Implement Intrusion Detection System and anti-malware

An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a security tool designed to detect and alert on unauthorized access to a computer system or network. Implementing intrusion detection systems (IDS) and anti-malware software can help to identify and block malicious activity. IDS is a critical security tool that helps organizations to detect and respond to security incidents in a timely manner. By providing real-time monitoring and analysis of network traffic, IDS can help organizations to stay ahead of potential threats and reduce the risk of a security breach.

D1520

Detection

Implement endpoint detection and response system

An endpoint detection and response (EDR) system is a security tool designed to detect and respond to security incidents on endpoints, such as desktops, laptops, servers, and mobile devices. There are several reasons why an EDR system is essential for maintaining the security of endpoints: 1. Threat Detection: EDR can detect and alert on a wide range of threats, including malware, ransomware, and other types of attacks that may not be detected by traditional antivirus software. 2. Rapid Incident Response: EDR can help security teams to rapidly detect, investigate, and respond to security incidents on endpoints. EDR systems can provide detailed information about the scope and impact of an attack, enabling security personnel to respond quickly and effectively. 3. Behavioral Analysis: EDR can monitor endpoint behavior to detect and alert on suspicious or anomalous activity. This helps security teams to identify and respond to threats that may be missed by traditional signature-based detection. 4. Endpoint Visibility: EDR provides visibility into endpoint activity, including processes, network connections, and file activity. This helps security teams to identify potential attack vectors and take proactive measures to prevent future incidents.
