<p>The inspection, which the DHS Office of Cybersecurity and Communications is rolling out as the EINSTEIN 3 Accelerated program, will permit network security analysts to look at the content of electronic communications, as opposed to just the IP packet headers the department has examined through network flow data under implementation of EINSTIEN 1.</p>


<p>The examination will be done for cybersecurity purposes and threat signatures developed by the office--and shared with Internet Service Providers that deliver connectivity to federal agencies--and will minimize "information that could be considered" personally identifiable information to the extent possible. Signatures most often will be based on network traffic metadata, such as IP addresses, but they may potentially include any packet data, "including the payload."</p>


<p>The privacy assessment says it uses the phrase "information that could be considered PII" because some threat indicators contains the same type of information people use to identify themselves in online communication, such as an email address. In the context of Einstein 3 Accelerated, "these types of information are not used to identify an individual; instead, they are used as a reference point for particular known or suspected cyber threats," it says.</p>


<p>Information collected under deep packet inspection can be used for secondary purposes and shared with federal, state or local law enforcement, the assessment says. If information "appears to indicate involvement in activities that may violate laws," it can be sent to law enforcement authorities. Sharing with police can occur also should that sharing be "done in the performance of a lawful government function," the assessment says.</p>


<p>"Only information that is necessary to understand reports will be included in any of these products," it adds.</p>
<p>Initially, the office will also operate two cyber threat countermeasures, the assessment says: Domain Name Server sinkholing and quarantining email that filtering determines may be malicious.</p>

<p>Nineteen organizations, including the Homeland Security Department and international law enforcement agencies, contribute to the report, which analyzes more than 47,000 security incidents.</p>
<p>For 75 percent of the breaches reviewed, researchers were able to identify a country of origin. Financially-motivated breaches involved actors from Eastern Europe, while 96 percent of espionage cases were attributable to threat actors in China, according to the report.</p>


<p><img alt="" style="width:540px;min-height:282px" height="282" width="540"></p>
<p>Ninety-two percent of breaches in 2012 were perpetrated by outsiders and 19 percent were state-affiliated actors, finds the report.</p>
<p>"State-affiliated actors tied to China are the biggest mover in 2012. Their efforts to steal IP compromise about one-fifth of all breached in this data set," write report authors.</p>
<p>Report authors note that attack attribution to a person, group or country is difficult.</p>
<p>"While we don't require evidence that will stand up in a court of law, we also don't guess or simply rely on low-confidence indicators like geolocation of IP addresses," says the report. "Sometimes attribution is based on arrests and prosecutions, but it often comes down to the use of particular tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) associated with known threat groups."</p>


<p>State-affiliated actors have resources to create specialized tools that are less easily recognized, write report authors. That being said they also often use the same formula and pieces of multi-functional malware in campaigns.</p>


<p>"More than 95 percent of all attacks tied to state-affiliated espionage employeed phishing as a means of establishing a foothold in their intended victims' systems," write report authors.</p>
<p>As for what breach techniques were most prominent overall last year, the DBIR points to hacking and credentials.</p>
<p><img alt="" style="width:537px;min-height:420px" height="420" width="537"></p>
<p>According to the report 52 percent of breaches used some form of hacking and 76 percent exploited weak or stolen credentials. The number of breaches that used social tactics, such as phishing, were four times higher in 2012 than the previous year, which report authors attribute to targeted espionage campaigns.</p>

<p><img alt="" style="width:246px;min-height:207px;float:left" align="left" height="207" width="246">Some of the common criticisms against Agile Development--that it produces sloppy code, that documentation gets overlooked, that user development stories are cumbersome--are unfounded or the result of bad Agile implementations, a group of federal chief information officers said April 23.</p>


<p>"Folks think that Agile is undisciplined. I think just exactly the opposite is true," said Barclay Butler, director of the Defense and Veterans Affair departments interagency program office charged with developing joint electronic health record software. He cited the process of reconciling different user stories to make decisions about tackling backlogs as an example; he spoke during an Association for Federal Information Resources Management event in Washington, D.C.</p>


<p>But it's possible under Agile to make the mistake of pushing completion of more complex requirements from sprint to sprint until they accumulate to a project-damaging degree, acknowledged Liz DelNegro, CIO of the Federal Acquisition Service within the General Services Administration. One such GSA Agile project did exactly that, she said. "That came back to hurt us, I'd say," DelNegro added.</p>


<p>And it's also true that "a lot of developers will use any excuse they can to not write documentation, and Agile is a very good excuse, sometimes," said Mark Schwartz, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services CIO.</p>


<p>Documentation should be treated as a deliverable due at the end of a sprint, he added. "It should be assessed by quality assurance, the same way you test any code--it's just another artifact that you're producing," he said.</p>


<p>When it comes to ensuring good code, a principle of Agile is to refactor often, Schwartz said. "It's perfectly acceptable that you went down one path and now you need to change and refactor. ... The reason why that doesn't cost you more is because you didn't get into analysis paralysis upfront," Schwartz said.</p>


<p>Asked later if "Agile" in government is synonymous with "scrum," Schwartz said not necessarily so. USCIS uses scrum for development, he said--when it's possible to define the contents of a sprint, or when "you can say 'these are the things that we're going to do in this time box.'" But, the agency prefers Kanban for operations and maintenance, he said, since it "works better when you have a continuous flow of requirements and you want to limit your work in progress."</p>

<p>The National Institute of Standards and Technology says it will establish the first information system security federally funded research and development center.</p>
<p>In an April 22 <i>Federal Register</i> <a href="http://links.mkt1985.com/ctt?kn=121&ms=NDg5NDgzNAS2&r=Mzg3MzU1MzU4OTAS1&b=0&j=MTUwNjk0MDkwS0&mt=1&rt=0" name="13e56b72985e5f04_13e3d44a5972897d_federalregister_gov_artic_HKQPzow5yH66GYNdVlBA" target="_blank">notice</a>, NIST says the FFRDC will support its National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, a public-private cybersecurity effort to find remediation for cybersecurity problems.</p>


<p>FFRDCs are nonprofit institutions; that model is "the most effective way the center can work with private companies to accelerate industry's adoption of integrated tools and technologies," said NIST Director Patrick Gallagher in a <a href="http://links.mkt1985.com/ctt?kn=38&ms=NDg5NDgzNAS2&r=Mzg3MzU1MzU4OTAS1&b=0&j=MTUwNjk0MDkwS0&mt=1&rt=0" name="13e56b72985e5f04_13e3d44a5972897d_nist_gov_itl_nccoe_042213_PBMJ4siROD1odCX4XDrAHA" target="_blank">statement</a>.</p>


<p>Among the tasks the NIST FFRDC will undertake is to research and develop "frameworks and implementation strategies for inducing industry to invest in and expedite adoption of effective cybersecurity controls and mechanisms" and provide systems engineering support to the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, the <i>Federal Register</i> notice states.</p>


<p>FFRDCs have come under some recent criticism; a June 2012 <a href="http://links.mkt1985.com/ctt?kn=49&ms=NDg5NDgzNAS2&r=Mzg3MzU1MzU4OTAS1&b=0&j=MTUwNjk0MDkwS0&mt=1&rt=0" name="13e56b72985e5f04_13e3d44a5972897d_google_com_url_sa_t_rct_j_Sz4gkfo4EMvSvdCwmX6vvQ" target="_blank">paper</a> (.pdf) from the Professional Services Council, an industry advocate group, says "there is strong evidence that FFRDCs are significantly more expensive than for-profit contractors on a per capita basis."</p>
