7MS #464: Interview with Christopher Fielder of Arctic Wolf

Today our friend Christopher Fielder of Arctic Wolf joins us on the show again (check out his first appearance in episode #444 - this time to talk about the security journey, and how to start out in your "security diapers" and mature towards a stronger infosec program. Specifically, we talk about:

  • When the company has one person in charge of IT/security, how can you start taking security seriously without burning this person out? First, it's probably a good idea to take note of what you have as far as people, tools and technology to help you meet your security goals.

  • Early in this process, you should inventory what you have (see CIS controls) so you know what you need to protect. A few tools to help you get started:

  • As you go about any phase of your security journey, don't ever think "I'm good, I'm secure!"

  • Quarterly/yearly vulnerability scans just won't cut it in today's threat landscape - especially your external network. Consider scanning it nightly to catch show-stoppers like Hafnium early)

  • Limiting administrative privileges is SUPER important - but don't take our word for it, check out this report from Beyond Trust for some important stats like "...enforcing least privilege and removing admin rights eliminates 56% of critical Microsoft vulnerabilities."

  • Install LAPS, because if an attacker gets local admin access everywhere, that's in many ways just as good as Domain Admin!

  • Train your users on relevant security topics. Then train them again. Then....again. And after that? Again.

  • There are many ways to conduct tabletop exercises. They don't have to be crazy technical. Start with the internal tech teams, practice some scenarios and get everybody loosened up. Then add the executives to those meetings so that everybody is more at ease.

  • How do you know when it's time to ask for help from an outside security resource?

  • Not sure what kind of shape your company's security posture is in? Check out Arctic Wolf's free security maturity assessment.

TLDL: get into a printer interface, adjust the LDAP lookup IP to be your Kali box, run nc -lvp 389 on your Kali box, and then "test" the credentials via the printer interface in order to (potentially) capture an Active Directory cred! Today we also define an achievement that's fun to unlock called DDAD: Double Domain Admin Dance.

Today’s episode is brought to us by Blumira, which provides easy to use, automated detection and response that can be setup in…well…about 7 minutes! Detect and resolve security threats faster and prevent breaches. Try it free today at blumira.com/7ms! Today we have a really fun interview with Nato Riley of Blumira. He cut his IT/security teeth working for a cell phone company, exorcising malware demons out of workstations, and even building an email-based SIEM. He has had a very cool career path that involves embracing newbness, pushing aside imposter syndrome, and even begging for jobs! I think this interview can best be summed up by a direct quote from Nato: "Things absolutely go wrong, and I think that's what deters people from trying. But just because something goes wrong, doesn't mean you're necessarily going to die from it. So why not try?"

7MS #540: Tales of Blue Team Bliss

Today we're excited to kick off a new series all about blue team bliss - in other words, we're talking about pentest stories where the blue team controls kicked our butt a little bit! Topics include: The ms-ds-machineaccount-quota value is not an "all or nothing" option! Check out Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment > Add workstations to domain. We installed LAPS on Twitch last week and it went pretty well! We'll do it again in an upcoming livestream. Defensive security tools that can interrupt the SharpHound collection! EDRs are pretty awesome at catching bad stuff - and going into full "shields up" mode when they're irritated!
