Publishers’ note
In his book, “Where is Technology Taking the Economy?”, economist and author W. Brian Arthur purports: Digital technologies have created a second economy, a virtual and autonomous one. It’s that it is steadily providing an external intelligence in business—one not housed internally on human workers but externally on the virtual economy’s algorithms and machines. While the book emphasizes the positive aspects of this second economy in terms of productivity, efficiency and convenience brought to human activities, we must remind ourselves that algorithms and machines are created by people, and human being behavior sometimes falls on the negative end of the spectrum; with greed and evil that can be cruel and destructive. Cyberattacks have increased with each technological advancement and as such have become an on-going battle in modern business practices, with most intelligent functions powered by big data. Based on findings by IDG, International Data Group, the cost of data breaches worldwide for enterprises rose 11 percent in 2017. In the U.S., the average cost of a cyber attack for enterprises grew from $1.2 million in 2016 to $1.3 million in 2017. And the trend is expected to continue. Having said that, we have compiled this issue of CyberAsia360 to bring more awareness to increasing cyber threats and to provide a prevention guide against potential cyber attacks. We are fortunate to share with you, on page 6, the words of wisdom and industry insights of Mr. Ashok Banerjee, CTO of Enterprise Symantec. To better protect businesses, Cyber Space Asia and CyberAsia360 magazine aim to serve as an across-board platform to facilitate exchange among industry intelligence through collaboration and cooperation on a global scale. We hope to receive your feedback and to have a dialogue as to how we can best serve you, our faithful readers! Send inquiries, comments and suggestions to sunny@cyberasia360.com.

CEO Corner
My Conversation with
Mr. Ashok BANERJEE CTO, Enterprise Security at Symantec by SUNNY SUN Editor’s note: A statement holds true by ARM’s CEO, Simon Segars: “The Internet of Things will change the way we live, but we’re s ll plagued by one big thing: a lack of security”. With increased connec vity and breaches to businesses, large and small, occurring more frequently, I felt an urgency to know how we can protect both our enterprises and our selves. Most of us habitually lock our cars and our homes, which are physically obvious to us. But are we consciously aware of how we should protect ourselves, when we can’t rely on passwords or updated firmware on our devices? How can we be prepared to live in the newly connected world of IoT? In pursuing answers to this, I was very fortunate to have had a conversa on with Mr. Ashok Banerjee, CTO Enterprise Security for Symantec, one of the world’s leading pure-play cyber security companies. I am pleased to share his valuable insights on awareness, preven on, and protec on against poten al threats.
How will security awareness help prevent ransomware for a majority of no-tech equipped SMEs ? I recommend anti-malware like Symantec Endpoint Protection for Corporate Endpoints and Norton for Consumer Endpoints to safeguard against ransomware. Where will you be attacked – home laptop or work laptop or will you be targeted at all? You have to understand why the hackers target you or your organization. Are you or your business the target (wealthy or confidential information), or are you a part of the supply chains to some target entity (wealthy or confidential information). In Supply Chain attacks you are attacked by the hacker as a stepping stone to a desired destination. No one will be immune from being targeted or attacked. We all have to be on “security-ready” mode both in your awareness and technology preparedness. The more we depend on digital technology, the more we become vulnerable. How can we balance innovation and safety? It is always Convenience vs. Safety. With IoT the motiva-

tion of the attacker moves from exfiltration of information to sabotage in physical world. Many of the systems in IoT were built pre-connectivity. Security was an after thought because there were physical layers of security mitigating the otherwise vulnerable operational things. Pre IoT the operational things were vulnerable but were not internet accessible so physical layers of security could mitigate the digital vulnerabilities. IoT opens the floodgates to both opportunities and risks. A selfdriving car halted in the middle of the freeway can cause a cascade of accidents. A railroad crossing-gate remotely opened when it should be down to prevent collisions with trains can cause accidents. Attackers can attack remotely attack repeatedly with no fear or consequence. Remote attacks can be from outside the jurisdiction of the country. From power grids, self-driving cars, emergency services, medical systems to nuclear plants are all suddenly within reach of attackers. Attackers infiltrate and hold control of activation/ deactivation or IOT controls. All this is achieved from outside the jurisdiction without the dirty work of breaking into physical systems risking arrest etc. The awareness people have for the physical world with locking doors and windows somehow does not extend as well to the digital world. We make sure to lock our doors and windows when we leave the house to protect ourselves from a possible burglary invasion; however, we lack the conscious awareness to shut down our digital access to prevent potential hackers’ invasions and we have little knowledge about how to go about it. That is why we need to collaborate on a global scale and
Issue: 002; Novem November 2017
laws to be implemented at the UN level. A lack of law and jurisdiction in cyberspace will be the problem that amplifies the danger. What would be the best prevention you can recommend? There is no silver bullet we need to secure every line, as a layered defense from social awareness and training, to network security, endpoint security, data loss prevention identity and IOT Security everything matters. Given the consequence of breach for Banks, Hospitals, Oil and Gas etc I believe it is better to have unavailability than to have security breaches. What lesson should we learn from the recent Equifax breach? Once again layered defense. Symantec has many layers of security for a reason. Stay cyber-resilient. Background information: Atlanta-based Equifax disclosed a little over a month ago that cyber criminals had breached its systems between mid-May and late-July and stolen the sensitive information of 145.5 million people. Randy Abrams, an independent security analyst, said he noticed the issue late on Wednesday when he was attempting to check some information in his credit report and a bogus pop-up ad appeared on Equifax’s website. The pop-ups could trick visitors into installing fraudulent Adobe Flash updates and infect computers with malware, he said in an interview with Reuters on Thursday “You’ve got to be kidding me,” he recalled thinking when he first saw the ads. Then he successfully replicated the problem at least five times, making a video that he posted to YouTube. (bit.ly/2z3GTLc) Equifax’s security protocols have been under scrutiny since Sept. 7 when the company disclosed its systems had been breached. As a credit reporting agency, Equifax keeps vast amounts of consumer data for banks and other creditors to use to determine the chances of their customers’ defaulting.
From your perspective, are most security breaches more likely a business issue or a technology issue? A single breach crushes the reputation of biggest icons in the industry. Attackers always look for the weakest spot from social to technical. The larger the company the greater the attack surface.. For example, for a company with a staff of 10,000, the attack surface of employees is hundred times larger than a company with a staff of 100. So the bigger the company the bigger the target and it should focus increasingly more on CyberSecurity. There will be cloud-based platform applications/services. Will it introduce more open outlets for potential breaches? The cloud-based providers are more automated in DevOps, Provisioning etc., However the larger more successful cloud services are also excellent targets for attackers: hack ONE, to hack ALL. For example, if hackers are able to hack into Salesforce, the attacker gets the CRM data for a large number of companies. A single such breach would give the attacker a com-
Issue: 002; November 2017
plete picture of every sales pipelines for every industry around the globe. Today the attackers are much more organized. Its not a lone wolf attempting things at night, this is not after work, hacking is the work for entire teams. Could Artificial Intelligence be introduced to Cybersecurity? AI has actually been used by Symantec for10 years. My impression is McAfee and Trend were also possibly using AI given the attack volumes. We have more data than anyone else in determining attacks. We have more data, but the attacker has more time. It comes down to game theory and adversarial machine learning - my area of focus. For a Netflix movie there is no one trying to make Netflix believe you like movies you don’t however in CyberSecurity we have a active adversary. With CyberSecurity we aren’t just looking for needles in a haystack but active needles that make a conscious effort to look like hay. The 21st century will not just be machine learning but increasingly adversarial machine learning. My machine learning versus your machine learning in a increasingly connected increasingly adversarial world. “Seeing is Believing and Hearing is Believing” may themselves be attacked. Facial Reenactment for instance if used with Adobe Photoshop and a effective fake news campaign the consequences are scary. With advancements in AR (Augemented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality) can fake news be far behind. What would be game-changing cyber-security technologies or standards to maximize security in the digital environment? There are two things: first, security is a layered sport which is why Symantec focuses on the entire span from Network to Endpoint to Email to Storage to Data Loss Prevention and IOT. The hacker targets vulnerability everywhere—hardware, software, network, email --so cybersecurity needs to be everywhere as well. This domain is unique because 1+1 = 3 the shared context of Email, Network, Identity and Endpoints enables us to do machine learning on data that no one else in the industry has. Second, most in cybersecurity focus on machine-learning too much, and too little on game theory. Cyber attack and cyber defense have co-evolved. Every move results in a counter move of the adversary and all that matters is the Nash equilibrium of the adversarial game. In conclusion, cybersecurity should be ingrained from design to threat modeling to runtime at network, email, endpoint, storage and through the entire process. It is always easier to attack than to defend given the ever increasing surface of our companies. Multi-week vulnerability remediation is no longer good enough, almost instantly we need a mitigation so though the system is vulnerable the vulnerability is mitigated in the environment of the customer instantly. If we mitigate after attackers incursion teams have set up a reverse shell a remediation after that still leaves the reverse shell for the attackers. Overall I highly recommend a layered defense strategy.

Reset Ellen Pao’s memoir about her experience as a woman working in male-dominated Silicon Valley
Recommended Business Books for 2017
In 2015, Ellen K. Pao sued a powerhouse Silicon Valley venture capital firm, calling out workplace discrimination and retaliation against women and other underrepresented groups. Her suit rocked the tech world—and exposed its to cu vee PR PR toxicc culture and its homogeneity. Her message overcame negative attac attacks that took aim at her professional conduct and her personall life, Shortlisted an the and she won widespread public support—Time hailed her as ““the for the 2017 Financial f face of change.” Though Pao lost her suit, she revolutionized the Times and McKinsey ld. conversation at tech offices, in the media, and around the world. In Reset, she tells her full story for the first time. The daughter of immigrants, Pao was taught thatt through hard work she could achieve her dreams. She earned Named multiple Ivy League degrees, worked at top startups, and in a best fall book 2005 was recruited by Kleiner Perkins, arguably the world’s by Elle and Bustle le leading venture capital firm at the time. In many ways, she did everything right, and yet she and other women and people of colo color were excluded from success—cut out of decisive meetings and email discussions, uninvited to CEO dinners and lavish networking trips, and had their work undercut or appropriated by male executives. It was time for a system reset. Ellen K. Pao’s Reset is a rallying cry—the story of a whistleblower who aims to empower everyone struggling to be heard, in Silicon Valley and beyond.

The Great Leveler Walter Scheidel’s exploration of the regularity with which violent events like wars and plagues remake society Ho only violence and catastrophes have consistently reduced inequality throughout world How history history? A Are mass violence and catastrophes the only forces that can seriously decrease economic ineq equ u inequality? To judge by thousands of years of history, the answer is yes. Tracing the global histo history of inequality from the Stone Age to today, Walter Scheidel shows that inequality never dies peacefully. Inequality declines when carnage and disaster strike and increases when peace and stability return. The Great Leveler is the first book to chart the crucial role of violent sh h shocks in reducing inequality over the full sweep of human history around the world. Ever since humans began to farm, herd livestock, and pass on their assets to future generations, economic inequality has been a defining feature of civilization. Over thousands of years, only violent events have significantly lessened inequality. The “Four Horsemen” of leveling―mass-mobilization warfare, transformative revolutions, state collapse, and catastrophic plagues―have repeatedly destroyed the fortunes of the rich. Scheidel identifies and examines these processes, from the crises of the earliest civilizations to the cataclysmic world wars and communist revolutions of the twentieth century. Today, the violence that reduced inequality in the past seems to have diminished, and that is a good thing. But it casts serious doubt on the prospects for a more equal future.

Adaptive Markets And Andrew Lo’s critique of the efficient-markets hypothesis evolutionary explanation of markets and investor behavior A new, n Half of all Americans have money in the stock market, yet economists can’t agree on w whether investors and markets are rational and efficient, as modern financial theory assumes, or irrational and inefficient, as behavioral economists believe―and as financial bubbles, crashes, and crises suggest. This is one of the biggest debates in economics and the value or futility of investment management and financial regulation hang on the outcome. In this groundbreaking book, Andrew Lo cuts through this debate with a new framework, the Adaptive Markets Hypothesis, in which rationality and irrationality coexist. Drawing on psychology, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and other fields, Adaptive Markets shows that the theory of market efficiency isn’t wrong but merely incomplete. When markets are unstable, investors react instinctively, creating inefficiencies for others to exploit. Lo’s new paradigm explains how financial evolution shapes behavior and markets at the speed of thought―a fact revealed by swings between stability and crisis, profit and loss, and innovation and regulation.
