Burned out security teams fight back against geopolitically motivated attacks and lateral movement inside networks

core/heading

PALO ALTO, Calif. – At Black Hat USA 2022, VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) released its eighth annual <a href="https://www.vmware.com/content/microsites/learn/en/1553238_REG.html">Global Incident Response Threat Report</a>, which takes a deep dive into the challenges faced by security teams amid pandemic disruptions, burnout, and geopolitically motivated cyberattacks. Sixty-five percent of defenders state that cyberattacks have increased since Russia invaded Ukraine, according to report findings. The report also shines a light on emerging threats such as deepfakes, attacks on APIs, and cybercriminals targeting incident responders themselves.

core/paragraph

“Cybercriminals are now incorporating deepfakes into their attack methods to evade security controls,” said Rick McElroy, principal cybersecurity strategist at VMware. “Two out of three respondents in our report saw malicious deepfakes used as part of an attack, a 13% increase from last year, with email as the top delivery method. Cybercriminals have evolved beyond using synthetic video and audio simply for influence operations or disinformation campaigns. Their new goal is to use deepfake technology to compromise organizations and gain access to their environment.”

Additional key findings from the report include:

core/list

“In order to defend against the broadening attack surface, security teams need an adequate level of visibility across workloads, devices, users and networks to detect, protect, and respond to cyber threats,” said Chad Skipper, global security technologist at VMware. “When security teams are making decisions based on incomplete and inaccurate data, it inhibits their ability to implement a granular security strategy, while their efforts to detect and stop lateral movement of attacks are stymied due to the limited context of their systems.”

Despite the turbulent threat landscape and rising threats detailed in the report, incident responders are fighting back with 87% saying that they are able to disrupt a cybercriminal’s activities sometimes (50%) or very often (37%). They’re also using new techniques to do so. Three-quarters of respondents (75%) say they are now deploying virtual patching as an emergency mechanism. In every case, the more visibility defenders have across today’s widening attack surface, the better equipped they’ll be to weather the storm.

VMware conducted an online survey about trends in the incident response landscape in June 2022, and 125 cybersecurity and incident response professionals from around the world participated. Percentages in certain questions exceed 100 percent because respondents were asked to check all that apply. Due to rounding, percentages in all questions may not add up to 100 percent.

VMware Carbon Black Workload for AWS delivers comprehensive visibility and security across on-premises and cloud environments for AWS customers

PALO ALTO, Calif. – VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) today introduced <a href="https://www.vmware.com/products/carbon-black-cloud-workload.html">VMware Carbon Black Workload</a> for Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deliver advanced protection purpose-built for securing both traditional and modern workloads. Using a single unified console that integrates into existing infrastructure, security and information technology (IT) teams can reduce attack surface and strengthen security postures, while achieving consistent and unified visibility for workloads running on AWS, VMware Cloud and on-premises.

“Security and IT teams lack visibility and control in highly dynamic and distributed environments,” said Jason Rolleston, vice president of product management and co-general manager for VMware’s Security Business Unit. “VMware Carbon Black Workload for AWS improves collaboration between these teams via a single consolidated platform for all workloads, regardless of where they’re running, to help defenders see and stop more threats. This real-time visibility into workloads helps prevent attacks on your most valuable assets and provides AWS customers a finite surface area to protect.”

By enabling security teams to see workloads that are ephemeral and transient in nature, VMware Carbon Black Workload for AWS provides authoritative context to help AWS customers better secure modern applications. Automatic gathering and listing of vulnerabilities help identify risk and harden workloads, further shrinking the attack surface, while CI/CD packages for sensor deployment further simplify agent lifecycle management. Additionally, by onboarding their AWS account, AWS customers can achieve more complete, comprehensive, and deeper visibility into the workloads that extend beyond when the VMware Carbon Black Workload sensor was first deployed.

VMware Carbon Black Workload for AWS combines foundational vulnerability assessment and workload hardening with next-generation antivirus (NGAV) to analyze attacker behavior patterns over time and help stop never-seen-before attacks. With enterprise threat hunting for workloads that includes behavioral endpoint detection and response (EDR), AWS customers can turn threat intelligence into a prevention policy to avoid hunting for the same threat twice. This telemetry feeds into <a href="https://www.vmware.com/security/contexa.html">VMware Contexa</a>, a full-fidelity threat intelligence cloud that shrinks the gap between attackers and defenders while enabling greater visibility, control, and anomaly detection for workloads.

VMware Carbon Black Workload for Amazon Web Services (AWS) delivers advanced protection purpose-built for securing both traditional and modern workloads.

I originally signed up for a half marathon. The 13.1-mile distance felt manageable, unlike the massive effort I imagined a full marathon would require. There was just one problem: I’ve never been good at doing things halfway.

With the idea of the big race nagging at me, I decided to push my training — week by week, my runs getting longer and more frequent. Before I knew it, I felt confident enough to take on the full 26.2 miles—something that only a few months before felt impossible.

What does running a marathon have to do with business? More than you think — especially when you’re in the <a href="https://news.vmware.com/tech-innovation/terror-thrill-transformational-change" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">business of transformation</a>.

I spend a lot of time talking with VMware’s customers. Just about all of them tell me the same thing: Their company’s future success depends on having a resilient, nimble digital foundation. They’re looking for platforms and tools that can thrive amid uncertainty and flex to meet evolving demands.

Now, my team and I know most of these needs can be met by embracing multi-cloud solutions, which have customer choice and flexibility baked into their architecture. But we also know the process of implementing multi-cloud comes with its own complexity. It’s a major commitment, one that requires time, skills, and resources over the long-term. In the face of that marathon, the lure of half-measures can be strong.

In this environment, my team’s job becomes two-fold: creating a vision for the future that is compelling enough to inspire action, while also charting a realistic path to get there that feels manageable. How do we do it? The same way I eventually ran my marathon.

core/pullquote

Learn to Love the Process

As soon as I signed up for my race, I knew I needed to make a plan. Training isn’t something you can procrastinate on. It requires consistent effort over the long-term. So, I started mapping out what the next few months would look like: the weekly mileage I would need to hit, the time it would take, the days I would run.

Broken up into smaller pieces, the impossible starts to become possible. That’s why creating a process is so important to the success of any digital transformation. When my team starts working with a customer, we spend a lot of time upfront thinking about the business outcomes they’re trying to achieve and the most efficient way of getting there. We’re also constantly looking for ways to improve our own processes so that it’s easy for our clients to onboard, find information and best practices, and get value from our services as soon as possible.

Focus on Short-term Wins

Training for a marathon is a marathon in itself — one that can feel overwhelming when you’re just starting out. That’s why I didn’t think about running 26.2 miles at first. Instead, I focused on hitting better times in my hill and speed work. I pushed to run one mile faster than the week before.

Small wins have a way of boosting your confidence and keeping you motivated over the long-term. That’s why my team and I often work with our customers to identify what workloads make the most sense to move to the cloud and in what order. By executing on specific use cases that create big value early on, we can build momentum for the larger-scale transformation we’re working towards. These customer wins also have the added benefit of keeping our own team motivated because we can see just how much our work moves the needle.

When I think back to my marathon training, one factor above all others contributed to my success: I wasn’t doing it alone. I was part of a running club that helped me keep showing up, even on the bad days. I once took a bad fall during one of my long runs, and I probably would have packed it in for the day if I’d been on my own. But my team was with me, and they inspired me to keep going. I ended up running another 10 miles.

When you’re surrounded by people you trust, just about anything is possible. I remind my team about this all the time. We’re there to be partners to our customers in their digital transformation journeys, as well as partners for each other as we do it. This is especially important when the unexpected occurs. Setbacks are inevitable when you’re trying to do big things. But they don’t have to derail progress toward bigger goals — a fact that’s a lot easier to focus on when you’re surrounded by a team that’s as invested in your success as you are.

When the day finally came and I completed my marathon, it was exhilarating. I couldn’t believe what I had achieved and how far I’d come. That’s the feeling I wish for every one of VMware’s customers when they work with us to. And my team and I are committed to delivering it.

Setbacks don’t have to derail progress — a fact that’s easier to focus on when you’re surrounded by a team that’s as invested in your success as you are.

smayowa@vmware.com

Much has been said about the way COVID-19, the biggest global health crisis in a century, has changed business. Not surprisingly, the change in healthcare itself has been profound. 

Telehealth visits <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/healthcare-systems-and-services/our-insights/telehealth-a-quarter-trillion-dollar-post-covid-19-reality" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">have skyrocketed</a> globally since the pandemic began, and patients now want providers to offer more "digital front doors” to monitor their health.

As the most populated region in the world, Asia Pacific is witnessing first-hand this incredible growth in trust and optimism for digital healthcare. <a href="https://news.vmware.com/asean/releases/digital-firstexperiencestopavethewaytothefutureofconnectedhealthcareinsoutheastasia%22%20/h%20%20HYPERLINK%20%22https://www.vmware.com/asean/company/news/releases/2021/Digital-FirstExperiencestoPavetheWaytotheFutureofConnectedHealthcareinSoutheastAsiaMY.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VMware’s Digital Frontiers 3.0 Healthcare Study</a> showed that in local regions like Southeast Asia, two-thirds (66 percent) of respondents now prefer remote video calls with medical professionals over face-to-face consultations. Because of lockdowns and other restrictions, health providers have finally begun to use digital services to fulfill potential that has been flagged for decades.

“Dr. Google” and Informed Patients

At VMworld 2021, I enjoyed listening to Armin de Greiff, Head of IT at University Hospital Essen — Germany’s first “smart hospital” — provide insight into what has been driving the big changes in global healthcare (<a href="https://www.vmware.com/vmworld/en/video-library/search.html#text=%22MCL2667%22&year=2021" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">on-demand here</a>).

De Greiff says today’s patients are “informed patients,” arriving at their consultations with opinions on symptoms and treatments based on their own research, often conducted with the help of “Dr. Google.”  

This changes expectations. Medical data used to be gathered by clinicians on pieces of paper. But now the patient comes with their own online research and an expectation it will be factored into their care.  

If today’s digital-first patients are turning to online resources for fast and trusted responses to their health problems, there is an opportunity for healthcare providers.  

Malaysia’s Sunway Medical Centre (SMC) is one provider already leaning into this trend. After establishing the country’s first 24-hour <a href="https://www.sunwaymedical.com/press-release-and-statements/cat-like-autonomous-robots-start-work-in-sunway-medical-centre" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Telemedicine</a> Command Centre, patients can now access professional care at all times from the comfort of their homes.

SMC has been on a journey to integrate its IT systems so patients can easily and securely access their own records. Most importantly, it’s ensured patient privacy is kept front and center. 

Medical facilities that want to access patient information must seek the patient’s approval first, giving patients the power to choose what information is shared or withheld. 

Technology also helped healthcare providers in our region manage the heavy demand for health services during COVID-19. With many patients unable to visit hospitals, Ramsay Sime Darby Health Care (RSDH) introduced <a href="https://www.thesundaily.my/business/ramsay-sime-darby-health-care-introduces-digital-healthcare-app-HY2573229" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Telehealth Plus</a> in Malaysia to enable follow-up consultations via video. Patients, who have already had an in-person consultation, could access timely advice through a laptop or mobile device from a variety of health specialists.

The pandemic has also accelerated the adoption of digital tools in delivering public healthcare. For example, Singapore’s technology agency for public healthcare, <a href="https://news.vmware.com/asean/releases/singapore_leads_in_delivering_superior_digital_government_services_and_establishing_trust_with_citizens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Integrated Health Information Systems (IHiS)</a>, developed new care models during the pandemic by leveraging technology as a “workforce multiplier.” New methods of doctor-patient consultations through digital channels were developed, empowering patients to be actively involved in their healthcare.

With 49 percent of Singaporean respondents in the Frontiers 3.0 study stating the government now delivers better digital experiences, including public healthcare, Singapore has made digitali<s>s</s>zation a core agenda in its pursuit of becoming a Smart Nation.

Healthcare providers that can deliver accessible, trusted and secure care are well positioned to meet the expectations of today’s digital-first patients.

“Super Diagnostics” and Data-Powered Health Services

The explosion of available patient data has also created an opportunity to deliver more data-driven healthcare.  

Modern hybrid-cloud systems can consolidate patient data held across departments like laboratories, pathology, and genomics which have traditionally been data silos. The multi-cloud approach enables intelligent apps to analyze patient data for “super-diagnostics” and support decisions around the potential effectiveness of therapeutic treatments for cancer and other diseases. 

Increasingly, this is what patients want. According to the Frontiers 3.0 study, more than half (55 percent) of patients in Southeast Asia are comfortable and excited with receiving a diagnosis from a powerful computer — one that can learn to detect anomalies such as cancerous cells, for example — rather than seeing a human doctor. 

Healthcare providers that enable wearables and sensors as an avenue for secure data sharing can provide real-time monitoring, professional advice and more patient freedom — true patient-first care. It is clear patients want this option right now. The Frontiers 3.0 Study found 61 percent of respondents believed digital healthcare services, like sensors and real-time data monitoring wearables, would provide more freedom to patients with chronic and long-term illnesses.  

In Asia-Pacific, healthcare providers are moving fast on this trend. <a href="https://polyclinic.singhealth.com.sg/ptec-shp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SingHealth Polyclinics</a> has installed a Primary Tech-Enhanced Care (PTEC) program to support self-management of conditions through digital services like vital signs monitoring (VSM), chatbot support, Bluetooth enabled blood-pressure devices and more.

Security, Safety and Trust

But if we are going to keep growing patients’ trust in technology-augmented healthcare, then the security of patient information will have to be central to telehealth experiences. 

Despite our region’s embrace of digital healthcare, trust remains a key issue. For example, while the <a href="https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/company/vmware-healthcare-infographic-my-05.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Frontiers 3.0 Study</a> revealed Malaysian respondents increasingly preferred digitized healthcare services, only 28 percent said they trusted the healthcare industry to keep their data secure. Across Southeast Asia, only 31 percent of respondents said they thought their data is safe with healthcare providers.

More remote healthcare workers and a boost in telehealth services increase the number of points at which services could potentially be attacked. The humanitarian nature of healthcare no longer rules it out as a target. In Australia, for example, the healthcare sector had the <a href="https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/anz/australia-report-shows-most-data-breaches-first-half-2021-occurred-healthcare-organisations" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">highest number</a> of data breaches of any industry in the first six months of 2021.

To maintain security, healthcare providers need to better protect cloud access for a distributed workforce. This is most effectively done through software-defined networks and <a href="https://www.vmware.com/vmworld/en/video-library/search.html#text=%22EDG1965%22&year=2021" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Secure Access Service Edge</a> (SASE) models that move data to the cloud and between edge points more securely. Controlling access through constant verification and Zero Trust security models is another way we are helping providers build trust with their patient base. These are the types of features needed if we are to create accessible, trusted, virtual healthcare experiences.

For a healthcare provider, building a robust digital foundation requires transformation investments, but it’s clear to me that technology should be an enabler of care, not a barrier. Whether it’s giving patients secure and easy access to the services they need at a time they want or empowering doctors to work from a remote location, technology can improve the way we deliver care — and is becoming increasingly expected from patients.

As <a href="https://blogs.vmware.com/industry-solutions/2021/10/22/next-in-digital-medicine-moderna/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stéphane Bancel, CEO, Moderna</a>, one of the first drugmakers to produce a COVID-19 vaccine, says, “The biggest revolution we’re going to see in healthcare in the next five to 10 years is a massive increase in the quality of care because we have data, and the ability to act upon data.”

“Smart health services” are leveraging emerging technologies and multi-cloud to deliver data-driven digital healthcare to today’s patients.

PALO ALTO, Calif. – June 28, 2022 – Over the past decade, the successful adoption of VMware vSphere and VMware vSAN was driven in no small measure by a robust and thriving global partner ecosystem. These foundational technologies have been built into the fabric of our partners’ technology solutions to transform how IT operates and delivers business value to enterprises large and small. In the new era of multi-cloud, today’s launch of vSphere+ and vSAN+ will deliver the benefits of the cloud to on-premises workloads.

You can read the announcement here -- <a href="https://news.vmware.com/releases/vmware-unveils-vsphere-plus-and-vsan-plus" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://news.vmware.com/releases/vmware-unveils-vsphere-plus-and-vsan-plus</a>.

Read what VMware partners are saying about how vSphere+ and vSAN+ are expected to deliver high-value cloud services for IT admins and developers to easily build, run, manage, and better secure today’s mission critical and tomorrow’s next-generation applications.

“3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors are the ideal choice for virtualized environments powered by VMware vSphere, providing the high core density needed to deliver the impressive performance, modern security features, optimal TCO and sustainability our joint customer's demand,” said Kumaran Siva, Corporate Vice President, Software & Systems Business Development at AMD. “The latest VMWare vSphere+ offering leverages the exceptional per-core performance of AMD EPYC processors, enabling the consolidation of customer infrastructure and workloads.”

“As organizations’ on-premises and cloud infrastructure needs evolve, they can accelerate innovation by focusing on improving system efficiency and maintenance, among other areas,” said Rajesh Pohani, Vice President of PowerEdge and Core Compute at Dell Technologies. “Solutions such as VMware vSphere+ and vSAN+ can help streamline on-premises workloads and centralized governance, simplifying processes for IT administrators and developers.”

“VMware vSphere+ changes the game for IT admins. It gives them a cloud-delivered single pane of glass to manage across their entire distributed vSphere estate — not to mention the benefits of a cloud financial and operating model across any environment,” said Juan Orlandini, Chief Architect and Distinguished Engineer at <a href="http://solutions.insight.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Insight</a>. "Additionally, developer services that speed time to value are incredibly important to our clients and something that’s built into vSphere+. With a common set of APIs that developers can learn once and deploy—regardless of where an app or service will be located—businesses are able to innovate faster.”

“Since the first days of virtualization technology, Intel and VMware have been collaborating to disrupt the IT industry, opening new possibilities for increased efficiency and value to our mutual customers,” said Das Kamhout, Vice President & CTO, Intel Cloud and Enterprise Software. “Together we have introduced innovative capabilities for IT operators and developers that transformed on-premises infrastructure.  The next leap forward is now here with the vSphere+ and vSAN+ platform that simplifies the complexity of cloud services and provides flexibility to run your workloads and data where you want. Choice, performance, reliability, and security with the well-established, trusted combination of Intel and VMware.”

“Making AI accessible to all industries requires the ability to run NVIDIA AI software and infrastructure for developers in a way that’s easy for IT to manage,” said Justin Boitano, vice president of Enterprise and Edge Computing at NVIDIA. “VMware vSphere+ introduces enhanced multi-cloud support for flexible, modern computing to advance the work of the customers that NVIDIA serves with VMware and our partner ecosystem.”

“For most enterprises today, vSphere is the de facto on-premises workload platform of choice to support their enterprise applications,” said Brian Connors, VP & GM,  Software and Business Development, Lenovo. “Our customers are transitioning the deployment of software licenses from a perpetual license model to a subscription and SaaS model, so we’re excited to see VMware provide the flexibility in licensing and deployment options of vSphere+ and vSAN+. Combining these new capabilities with Lenovo ThinkAgile VX and TruScale as-a-Service capabilities is a great opportunity for our mutual customers to modernize their environments, accelerate developer innovation, and improve overall IT efficiency and security.”
