I gotta say, Proventia XGS is a pretty fuckin sweet security solution.

In addition to an antivirus, firewall, and web filter, ofc.

Speaking of user training and Knowbe4, I'm just finishing up some of our baseline testing and the results are kind of scary.

We did a simple test, from cmnnews@cmn.info.eu or something with a link to "Prince Death Video". That had a click through rate of 15%. Some stupid coupon toolbar had a click through rate of 5%. I'm really glad we got approval from management to do some training on this. Upper level management has been hell bent on all things security after a competitor got hit with a fake wire transfer a while back. Hopefully this will pay for itself in just limiting the number of re-images help desk has to do for users.

I'm a little late to the party, but I just got an invite to this webinar about Malvertising

https://webinar.darkreading.com/2063/

quote:

This webinar give the audience a better understanding of the impact of malvertising and ransomware. It will also tackle some of the biggest misconceptions, latest tactics/incidents, how these attacks are delivered and why your company may be at risk without you even knowing it.

It could be mildly entertaining to see what they have to say.
It could also be good propaganda to show some higher ups if you're worried about crypto variants.

I hope this doesn't earn me a red title :ohdear:

No we're using KnowBe4s service to handle everything. We just pick the templates and customize as needed, handle the scheduling and then send it off. We've been very impressed with the service and it was dirt cheap. I've had a ton of fun creating the phishing emails, its a nice break from my normal day to day work. We do have a cuckoo VM setup just to inspect real attachments our users are getting to try and at least educate them on how they are being targeted.

Oh nice, I didn't realise that they let you pick and choose the emails that you felt were most relevant for your org. I ran a trial and got a 25% hit rate which was quite scary, including some people who said they knew it was a phishing test and clicked it anyway, which is worse than people who didn't know. The price of being curious I guess.

Anyway the pricing is pretty positive (it's gently caress all really) and I can't see any reason to go for the gold level service as people's email addresses aren't meant to be secrets. I kind of agree with the guy in the infosec thread that decided the training had a dumb name, have you looked at any of it yet and is it as cheesy as the name suggests? In reality I could probably take the earlier advice and run a PowerPoint session and do a couple of test campaigns but having an online portal with web-based training will suit our staff better as they aren't ever going to be in the same place long enough for classroom delivery to work, and having a thing that tracks users progress makes it straightforward to write it into staff terms and conditions and keep tabs on things. We've already got configuring two-factor auth as a step in the induction so the business is quite reasonable about giving IT the framework they need to operate in.

An email came in, warning me and other staff that people are complaining about cellphone use. After some investigation I find out we have a crotchety old office manager who bitched about everything new employees do.

We pay a part of people's plans, let them use exchange on their phones and complain about phone usage? :sigh:

Yeah there are hundreds of emails to choose from, lots of community created ones, and you can make your own. For instance we've made a few based off of real incoming messages that have targeted some of our executives.

The training look and feel is pretty cheesy, though not bad by any means. Kind of looks like the creative crew from the set of Hackers just picked up shop and decided to make corporate training videos. They have different level courses that range time wise anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. The courses are pretty well done, and based on the feedback I've gotten from some users its clear and concise. It does a good job teaching users the basics like checking email message headers and how to hover over links to see the url it's linked to. For us we've decided to have everyone take the quick 15 minute course as time allows. All of the courses are slide based so they can start and stop as needed. The users who click on any phishing email get added to a clickers group and then get automatically enrolled in one of the longer courses. After this initial round of training we plan on sending out monthly security tips emails from KnowBe4 just as a reminder. Those emails are nice too because they give users a heads up on whatever seems to be the latest trending scam email.

We've tried the powerpoint in the conference room training before and just found it ineffective. For the people who know better already its a waste of time. For the people who need it only a few get it after sitting through one quick training session. This training is nice because it doesnt tie up someone from IT and they can do it on their own time. The videos seem to be interesting enough to keep peoples attention too which is huge. For the price it's definitely worth it.

We went with the gold tier just because it is so cheap. I think at the next level they do like USB drops and phone calls to try and get info from users. We decided to skip that for now, at least until some user starts giving out bank routing info over the phone.

Some of the KnowBe4 training is dumb (there's like four slides of utterly irrelevant stuff in the beginning like "what is spearfishing? What's an APT*") but once you get past the initial stupid slides I thought the 15 minute security training was pretty good - it hit on the major points and broke down some important things like "how to hover over a link to check the destination", "is this sender legit", etc. into something that I could reasonably expect my users to understand. Only gripe with it really is that you have to create accounts for your users to access that stuff and frankly I just cannot be bothered with trying to do that and force compliance, so the videos will pretty much go unused for us.

On the upside like everyone says it's dirt cheap and I get my money's worth out of the phishing campaigns alone so whatever.

* or some other totally irrelevant jargon that even I forgot, and users definitely don't give a poo poo about or need to know.

They're pretty secretive about it on the website, but they do say you just change your DNS records. Does this gently caress things up for clients that are in the office needing to access internal resources since they don't get the internal DNS servers any more, or is there an agent that deals with swapping the servers out?

If the thinking behind AV is that it's a waste of money and is so poorly written that it is likely to present a larger attack surface, then I guess something that isn't installed on your machine can at worst be a waste of money.

You just change the dns forwarders on your dns servers, and then setup the networks on the OpenDNS side so the traffic is filtered instead of just getting dns results back like non paying users. Then you still get all the same internal dns resolution. For clients that are traveling a lot they have a roaming client to install.

I wouldn't count on it.

Enterprise is a good product but moving onto it for an organisation that has increased the deployment count of Pro licenses involves a fairly large initial order to get the Enterprise Upgrade for each machine, after that you just need to keep SA active.

Are any of the adblockers able to be centrally managed yet (is central management of extensions even a thing Chrome supports or would the extension writer need to build it themselves?). I know you can install extensions via GPO or through the Google Apps management assuming your users are signed into Chrome, but I'd be wary of rolling out Ublock Origin company-wide unless I could easily drop an exception in for certain sites.

uBlock origin is a zero-config option that is what is actually being recommended, not some form of script whitelisting.
