Youve heard all about shadow IT, but theres another shadow lurking on your systems: Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

These smart devices are the IoT in shadow IoT, and they could be maliciously or unintentionally exposing information. Threat actors can use that to access your systems and sensitive data, and wreak havoc upon your company.

A refresher on shadow IT: shadow IT comes from all of the applications and devices your employees use without your knowledge or permission to get their jobs done and handle their work data. Some examples of shadow IT include departments purchasing and installing their own software, users making unauthorized changes to their endpoints and employees using cloud services that arent company standard.

Add a few IoT devices into the mix, and your security efforts are suddenly and obviously more vulnerable. However, whats not as obvious is that the shadow IoT phenomenon can include things like multicolored light bulbs, coffee makers and Bluetooth speakers.

These devices pose new security risks for the enterprise, as IoT is typically not as secure as it should be. In 2021, 12.2 billion devices connected to the internet worldwide, with an expected growth up to 14.4 billion active connections in 2022. If you think none of those devices are shadow devices on your network, think again. According to Infoblox, 35% of U.S., UK and German companies have more than 5,000 shadow devices connected to their network on any given day.

TikTok personality and security engineer Jose Padilla (@secengineer) knows how to see which devices might be at risk. His frequent TikTok posts test different IoT devices to determine just how risky they are and examine what kind of network traffic the devices are outputting.

The Mirai botnet was created almost entirely by IoT devices, he said. Thats what inspired me to start looking more into what these IoT devices are doing on my network. Of course, I want to use smart things. Theyre very convenient. I obviously love technology. But as a security engineer, I always have to second guess these kinds of things.

Padilla has tested almost two dozen devices and explains that he takes each through a rigorous process that requires at least three or four hours of sifting through logs to establish patterns to see if anything stands out.

What surprised Padilla most from his testing is the security issues arising from something as simple as a smart lightbulb. You can watch his video for more detail, but we wont name the product here.

Its such a well-known brand; a premium IoT brand, he said. I expected it to go completely smooth and be boring, and it definitely wasnt boring.

Padilla explained that the traffic generated from the smart bulb would raise serious red flags for any security team.

Here are the highlights of what he discovered:

What concerned Padilla the most was a vulnerability that, if exploited, could unleash significant damage.

One of those things that I found was the authentication sessions, he said. The authentication sessions are the connection between the companys cloud servers and the bulbs smart hub itself. So if you wanted control from the cloud, this is the connection thats going to do it.

Plus, he had this feature turned off in his tests, but the hub was still connecting to the cloud. All relevant tokens the single sign-on token, the session token and the authentication token were transmitting data in the clear.

According to Padilla, a similar bug or vulnerability was found in another of the manufacturers products a few years ago, a smart air filter, but was quickly fixed.

Theres no excuse for IoT devices to send traffic over the Internet unencrypted, he said. Its just opening up more risk. Its another threat vector, whether it will be easy to exploit or not.

While most of the attacks that could be potentially launched against the lightbulb are benign, there are proofs of concept that should raise eyebrows.

Weve seen that some light bulbs can have a faster flicker rate, and one potential attack could produce a strobe light effect, he said. It could be harmful to anyone thats photosensitive. But those are more minor in comparison to some of the other attacks or vulnerabilities and proof classes Ive seen for this lightbulb.

Padilla explains that security testers were able to upload malicious firmware to the light bulb, and it was not difficult for them to control the light bulb and force an unsuspecting user to connect to a bad bulb. The attack chain would go from the bulb to their phone to the hub.

The proof of concept demonstrates the kill chain that can happen from just controlling one device, he said. Its not just turning a light on or off; it can go from there to either running code on your phone or the hub and it can get your network to trust those two devices. From there, the skys the limit.

Preventing threats resulting from shadow IoT is never easy. After all, shadow IT and shadow IoT are so named because IT teams are in the dark. But, like everything in cybersecurity, good cyber hygiene goes a long way. If your organization is already deploying network segmentation, vulnerability scans, pen tests and patch management, youre many steps ahead.

The thing I can advise for organizations wanting to use smart devices is the same thing I suggest for home users: put it on an isolated network and dont allow it to talk to your main network, he said. Treat it as a completely untrusted zone. If the shadow IoT devices are on an isolated network, there should be a safe disconnect.

It should also come as no surprise that the most basic of security basics should be prioritized.

The same importance should be applied to patch management, he said, adding that scanning devices for vulnerabilities via vulnerability assessments and pen tests are also critical.

Finally, for the best protection against shadow IoT, Padilla suggests companies apply principles that align with zero trust.

Whether its shadow IT, shadow IoT or other common threats, users will only have access to the resources they need and only to the devices they should have access to. And shouldnt that be the table stakes for security policy today anyway?

Beyond Shadow IT: Expert Advice on How to Secure the Next Great Threat Surface - Security Intelligence

The datacenter industry may be starting to feel the effects of the economic slowdown, leading to further impacts on IT vendors and other suppliers, according to reports, while operators in the UK in particular are feeling the pain from rising energy costs.

Cloud and hyperscale companies may have seemed less vulnerable to swings in the wider economy, thanks to the growing adoption of cloud services over the past decade. This was especially so during the pandemic, when many businesses were forced to upscale their use of cloud services to ensure staff could continue to work remotely.

But the signs are starting to point to a possible slowdown, with Reuters reporting that Google Cloud, Microsoft's Azure, and Amazon's AWS all showed slower growth in their recent results.

For example, Google Cloud reported $6.3 billion of revenue for Q2 2022, a 35 percent year-on-year increase, but a slower increase than the 44 percent jump it reported for its Q1 results.

In June, analyst outfit TrendForce was predicting that the global server market will grow more slowly in 2022 than in the past, with China's cloud companies Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent all lowering their procurement this year. It warned that this could also spread to cloud and hyperscale companies in the US, leading to overall server shipments falling.

All the big cloud players have recently extended the life of their servers in order to save on procurement costs. Microsoft announced this month it was extending the life of its machines by two years, which it expected to save it $3.7 billion next year. Google announced in February an extension of its server lifecycle from three years to four, while Amazon said it expected to save a billion dollars in this quarter by running its servers for six years instead of five.

This could be bad news for the IT industry, which had already seen demand falling away on the consumer device side and may now face weakening demand for servers and lucrative components such as memory chips that servers have so far kept buoyant.

However, as The Register reported this month, enterprises are spending more on cloud infrastructure services than ever before, and falling prices for components may leave the hyperscalers well positioned to take advantage of this and add more capacity at a lower cost.

But supply chain issues may still be a complicating factor, with Microsoft's Azure cloud reported to be having difficulty providing enough capacity to meet customer demand last month.

Meanwhile, another factor affecting datacenter operators is the spiraling cost of energy. According to a recent report, datacenter operators in the UK and Ireland have seen their energy bills increase by as much as 50 percent.

In the UK, 57 percent of operators indicated that they are currently spending between 10 and 30 percent of their entire operating costs on electricity, with some paying more and many expecting this figure to hit 40 percent or higher.

The report, from power generation supplier Aggreko, says that this is causing problems because the all-in pricing models adopted by co-location providers mean they are forced to absorb additional costs and price increases.

It was based on a survey of 253 datacenter professionals, with 58 percent of those in the UK reporting that energy bills have had a significant impact on their company's margins.

The report concludes that operators are struggling to remain competitive, particularly as confidence in government support is "tepid" in both the UK and Ireland, and suggests some remedies.

However, it would seem there is still a danger that customers may be asked to pay more to offset some of the rising energy costs. For example, customers of cloud and network provider M247 were hit with a 161 percent hike in charges late last year, with rising energy prices blamed for the increase even then.

Google Cloud has revealed it blocked the largest distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on record, which peaked at 46 million requests per second (rps).

The June 1 attack targeted one Google Cloud customer using the Google Cloud Armor DDoS protection service.

Over the course of 69 minutes beginning at 9:45 am PT, the attackers bombarded its customer's HTTP/S Load Balancer with HTTPS requests, starting at 10,000 rps and within minutes scaling up to 100,000 rps before peaking at a whopping 46 million rps.

Google says it is the largest ever attack at Layer 7, referring to the application layer the top layer in the OSI model of the Internet.

The attack on Google's customer was almost twice the size of a HTTPS DDoS attack on a Cloudflare customer in June that peaked at 26 million rps. That attack also relied on a relatively small botnet consisting of 5,067 devices spread over 127 countries.

The attack on Google's customer was also conducted over HTTPS but used "HTTP Pipelining", a technique to scale up rps. Google says the attack came from 5,256 source IP addresses across 132 countries.

"The attack leveraged encrypted requests (HTTPS) which would have taken added computing resources to generate," Google said.

"Although terminating the encryption was necessary to inspect the traffic and effectively mitigate the attack, the use of HTTP Pipelining required Google to complete relatively few TLS handshakes."

Google says the geographic distribution and types of unsecured services used to generate the attack match the Mris family of botnets. Mris is anIoT botnet that emerged in 2021that consisted mostly of compromised MikroTik routers.

Researchers at Qrator who previously analyzed Mris' use of HTTP Pipelining explained the technique involves sending trash HTTP requests in batches to a targeted aimed server, forcing it to respond to those request batches. Pipelining scales up rps, but as mentioned by Google, that technique didn't require it to complete TLS handshakes.

Cloudflare attributed the 26 million rps attack to what it called the Mantis botnet, which it considered an evolution of Mris. Mantis was powered by hijacked virtual machines and servers hosted by cloud companies rather than low-bandwidth IoT devices, according to Cloudflare.

SEE: How to find out if you are involved in a data breach -- and what to do next

Google noted that this Mris-related botnet abused unsecured proxies to obfuscate the true origin of the attacks.

It also noted that around 22% or 1,169 of the source IPs corresponded to Tor exit nodes, but the request volume coming from those nodes amounted to just 3% of the attack traffic.

"While we believe Tor participation in the attack was incidental due to the nature of the vulnerable services, even at 3% of the peak (greater than 1.3 million rps) our analysis shows that Tor exit nodes can send a significant amount of unwelcome traffic to web applications and services."

Hybrid cloud deployments are the new norm, allowing workloads and data to run and reside on a combination of on-premises systems, private clouds, and public cloud services.

Hybrid cloud lets businesses deploy workloads and data on a mix of on-premises, private cloud, or public cloud infrastructure. That gives businesses great flexibility and allows them to optimize workloads by selectively matching infrastructure to needs. And as such, hybrid cloud is ideally suited to the evolving infrastructure needs of modern business.

How much interest is there in hybrid cloud? Some industry surveys found hybrid cloud adoption is on the rise. Roughly half (48 percent) of the respondents in one surveyplan to migrate 50 percent or more of their applications to a cloud this year. That aligns with the findings of another survey conducted last year that found that more than a third (38 percent) of the organizations already had a hybrid cloud strategy in place.

Whats driving the interest in hybrid? Hybrid cloud goes well with the embracement of cloud-native development and the composable enterprise. New applications are being built as an assembly of components based on microservices and APIs. Similarly, old monolithic applications are being deconstructed, offering up particular services, code, or data for use in new applications. A hybrid cloud strategy allows businesses to run different elements of such distributed applications where they would run best in the most cost-effective manner.

Digital transformation is another driver for the adoption of hybrid cloud. Digital transformation is about developing innovative offerings quickly and meeting customer availability and app performance expectations. A hybrid cloud strategy makes that all possible so that software developers can iterate as quickly as possible without having to wait for IT to set up servers, storage, and networking on-premises. Yet, it allows a business to keep apps and data that need to be secured on-premises.

Hybrid cloud also gives businesses the ability to place and shift workloads and data to the right infrastructure as requirements evolve. For example, it might make sense to move data on a public cloud back on-premises or to a private cloud if data privacy regulations are strengthened in a particular region. Similarly, an AI or ML model might be proven out on-premises but moved to a highly-scalable public cloud when deployed in production so that the needed compute power is available.

Such deployment flexibility is increasingly essential. Some applications will be best targeted to one type of cloud early in its development life cycle, only to have that shift to another later on. For example, it is quite common for a new consumer application to have wildly varying demand when first released, but over time to have its usage settle. A hybrid approach gives a business the option to use a public cloud to quickly scale and meet surges in demand but then bring an app back on-premises when demand plateaus to reduce costs.

The old adage whats old is new again rings true for hybrid cloud. Back in 2009, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) started developing a working definition of cloud computing. After 16 iterations, it finalized its work, noting that multiple deployment models included private, public, and hybrid, which together offered a new way to deliver services.

The NIST touted reasons for using hybrid cloud back then were that cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. And it noted that organizations that used cloud were more likely to reap the promised benefits of cloudcost savings, energy savings, rapid deployment, and customer empowerment.

It is safe to say those insights hold true today. But what of the future? Hybrid cloud reflects enterprise ITs overall and ongoing shift from a centralized to a distributed model. And perhaps the best indication of hybrid clouds value going forward is the synergies it brings with edge.

Edge is exploding. Sensors, IoT devices, and other data-producing units provide status and operational data for everything from an IT device to equipment on a production line to a pallet in a tracker trailer. Rapid analysis of that data is key to many aspects of business operation.

As such, there is a great overlap between hybrid cloud and edge. Hybrid cloud is about running workloads in the best possible environments; edge computing is aboutbringing the environment to a workloadand its associated data.

Hybrid deployments are the new norm. Most businesses are shifting workloads to the cloud or building new cloud-native applications from scratch. With few exceptions (e.g., pure cloud-native startups), workloads and data will run and reside on a combination of on-premises systems, private clouds, and public cloud services.

Melding these deployment options gives businesses the ability to support digital transformation efforts while also scaling existing applications and services.

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) has several benefits, including the capacity to identify threats in real-time and enable an immediate halt to a breach. Additionally, EDR tools help analyze data to spot threat patterns, automatically react to threats to neutralize them or take other measures, and alert security staff.

New York, Aug. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Global Endpoint Detection and Response Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Vertical, By Component, By Deployment Type, By Organization Size, By Enforcement Point, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 - 2028" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06315005/?utm_source=GNW It can be used as a forensics tool to support an investigation, which is anticipated to offer the industry lucrative growth potential. Furthermore, it tracks events and processes including registry changes, logins, and network connections to enable real-time visibility across all endpoints.

That makes it possible for the group or businesses to look into any suspicious conduct right away. The workload involved in identifying and responding to threats or hazards can also be lessened with the use of enhanced endpoint detection and response (EDR) processes. Removing the requirement for the security team to constantly monitor several tools and dashboards, which fuel the markets growth, saves time and resources.

Technology platforms known as EDR tools enable quick analysis and containment of attacks on endpoints in addition to warning security teams of potentially harmful activities. A workstation or laptop used by an employee, a server, a cloud system, a smartphone, or an IoT device are all examples of endpoints. EDR systems typically aggregate endpoint data, such as process execution, terminal communication, and customer logins; analyze data to find anomalies and suspicious attacks; and record data about harmful conduct. This gives security teams the information they need to look into and handle issues. They also make it possible to perform manual and automatic tasks to neutralize threats on the endpoint, such as wiping and reimaging the device or isolating it from the network.

Security teams now have the insight they need to find problems that might otherwise go undetected due to EDR security solutions, which keep track of all endpoint and workload activity and events. Continuous and thorough visibility into what is occurring on endpoints in real-time must be offered by an EDR system. An EDR tool should have sophisticated capabilities for threat detection, investigation, and response, such as incident data search, investigation alert triage, and validation of suspicious activity, threat hunting, and detection and containment of malicious activity.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused social unrest and economic turbulence all across the world. The lockdown imposed by many governments has positively affected the adoption of endpoint detection and response (EDR). Following the effects of COVID-19, businesses are focusing on cutting-edge technologies to perform contactless operations safely and securely. These technologies include AI-powered remedies, computing technology, automation, and cloud-based endpoint detection and response across industries like BFSI, healthcare, government, and others. Additionally, as companies transition to digitalization, there is a growing need for an EDR solution that is reliable, AI-integrated, and has real-time reporting capabilities.

Market Growth Factors

Malware, crypto-jacking, and enterprise email hacks are all on the rise.

Crypto-jacking incidents drive companies to update unsecure systems, eliminating a potential point of entry for ransomware. Organizations implemented recommended fixes to address the exploited vulnerability. Every single moment in the web application compromises Expel conducted research that led to the introduction of a coin miner in 2021. This typically occurs when a victim unwittingly installs malicious scripts that let a cybercriminal access the device or other Internet-connected devices, such as by clicking on an unknown link in an e-mail or going to a malicious website. Because they are digital, cryptocurrencies can only be produced by computer programmers and processing power.

Security rules and compliance reporting can both be changed.

A companys rules and laws are unique to it. They may include goals, procedures, and risks that are specific to that company. Using the finest EDR tools, each user can create a security policy based on a customized rules engine. By using this engine, users can implement security and operational guidelines that will then be updated to address shifting business needs, changing threats, and applicable laws and regulations. Using custom security rules, the EDR team can filter out unimportant noise and remain focused on identifying both predictable and unanticipated risks. A flexible rules engine helps the providers efficiency and accuracy, enabling them to identify and protect against a wider range of threats in the particular environment of the business.

Market Restraining Factors

Poor And Erratic Third-Party Software

The security of the third-party infrastructure and a loss of control are just two disadvantages of outsourcing security tasks to a third-party EDR network operator. The service companys cyber architecture must be secure and up to date if it is to be effective in fending off the most recent sophisticated threats. An EDR service providers infrastructure may include sensitive customer and employee information from multiple companies, making it more susceptible to frequent and intricate attacks. Because of this, businesses could be reluctant to provide these service providers access to valuable data.

Component Outlook

On the basis of the Component, the Endpoint Detection and Response market is divided into Solution and services. The services segment witnessed a significant revenue share in the endpoint detection and response market in 2021. It is because The Endpoint Detection and Response service provides a skilled team of threat hunters, cutting-edge EDR technology, and up-to-the-minute threat data to discover threats that other measures may miss. This dramatically improves the visibility of attacks aimed at endpoint devices.

Deployment Mode Outlook

Based on the Deployment Mode, the Endpoint Detection and Response market is classified into On-premise and Cloud. The on-premise segment procured the largest revenue share in the endpoint detection and response market in 2021. This is due to the many benefits that come with on-premises deployment, including the high level of data protection and safety. Companies favor on-premises models over cloud-based deployment models because they offer greater data security and experience fewer data breaches, which is what drives demand in both the public and private sectors.

Organization Size Outlook

By Organization Size, the Endpoint Detection and Response market is bifurcated into Large Enterprises and SMEs. The small & medium enterprises segment recorded a significant revenue share in the endpoint detection and response market in 2021. It is because cyber-attacks on SMEs result in severe data and financial losses. Since most businesses are struggling as a result of COVID-19, banks are seeing an increase in demand for business loans, especially from SMEs, to maintain operations during the pandemic, reduce operational risks associated with remote working practices, and comply with regulations to avoid fines.

Enforcement Point Outlook

Based on the Enforcement point, the Endpoint Detection and Response market is segmented into Workstations, Mobile devices, Servers, Point of sale terminals, and others. The workstation segment acquired the largest revenue share in the endpoint detection and response market in 2021. Enterprises often offer alternatives for remote management so security professionals can set the proper parameters. To be audited and analyzed, each endpoint transmits audit data to a central repository. Consumers dont require the same level of centralized management. A specialized computer called a workstation is made for use in technical or scientific tasks.

Vertical Outlook

On the basis of the vertical, the Endpoint Detection and Response market is fragmented into Retail, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Manufacturing & Automotive, Government & Public Sector, BFSI, IT &Telecom, and Others. The IT & Telecom segment procured the highest revenue share in the endpoint detection and response market in 2021. It has been established that automatic speech recognition systems depend critically on endpoint detection. The system analyses the signals static (energy) and dynamic (delta energy) characteristics frame by frame. The endpoint detector can be adjusted to the working environment such as telephone lines and can keep track of changes in the background noise levels.

Regional Outlook

Region-wise, the Endpoint Detection, and Response market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. The North America segment acquired the highest revenue share in the endpoint detection and response market in 2021. In the North American region, the market is anticipated to exhibit robust growth due to the rising use of endpoint detection and response for security applications in forensic, governmental, and banking & finance. However, during the Endpoint Detection and Response Market Forecast period, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to develop at the fastest rate.
