I just ran into an issue where some of our partners were pulling the incorrect IPv4 addresses for their payment processor (CES / FirstData).

The payment gateways are:
vxn.datawire.net
vxn1.datawire.net
vxn2.datawire.net

The correct IP's are 216.220.36.75, 205.167.140.10, and 64.243.142.36. However, our affected locations (in Alaska on two different ISP's) were getting 45.227.252.17 as the IPv4 address, which I think is registered to a web hosting company in the Caribbean.

According to good old What's My DNS, most of the world has it correct, but there are a few out there (in Pakistan and Australia at the time I ran the test) with the 45.x.x.x address. Might be something malicious, might just be a misconfiguration. But anyway, it's NOT just you, and the datawire people are the ones who need to look into it and fix it.

For the grizzled and seasoned infosec pros in this thread: Would you recommend making the jump from IT Manager to CISO at an organization with ~700 employees? We don't currently have a separate infosec team, so I am already performing much of the function already.

Yes, but be aware

A) the job, if done right, is VERY different than typical manager positions. You will be the one setting policy and practices and all responsibility for security starts and stops with you.

B) You’ll spend more time in meetings than you thought existed.

B) You’ll be painting a BIG target on your back.

Who would you report to? You need high level buy in from the start; if you don’t have that, or are not in a position to be able to quickly build it things might be tough.

Typically a CISO will report directly to the CEO or COO. Occasionally for very large companies, I've heard of them reporting to the CIO, but that seems counterproductive.

I am in the position where I am trying to decouple IS from IT already. I am on a first name basis with every executive as well as numerous board members. If I were to guess, the reporting would be a solid line to the board with a dashed lines to the CIO and the CRO.

Management buy in would not be an issue.

I'd definitely go for it.

I'm currently fighting the "divorce IS from IT" battle myself. I'm getting some traction, but it's so god drat frustrating to explain to people why it needs to be done over and over again.

CSO, responsible for both internal IT and product-behaviour security. GC is general counsel.

I've never heard it being done that way, but that might be a good way to ensure compliance. "Do this, because not doing this can open us up from a liability standpoint". Plus it keeps InfoSec silo'd away from IT.

I'm not saying IS shouldn't work with IT, but security should absolutely have a different reporting line than IT. Especially when it comes to incident handling and postmortems. IT should not be investigating itself.

There's a diff between inplementing policies and implementing policies well. I've seen several new CISOs think their word is law and gently caress you just immediately lose control and try to fight back to respect through years of corporate security report bitch work.

Important is also your relationship with not only the other executives (you should be able to turn any complex CVE into a three sentence explanation with an additional sentence to explain why your company is at risk) but also business. Mannnn, the wins I got because I knew and socially connected to the people that made the money. If they are on your side, even the CIO will not be able to gently caress with you if business has a stink in their mind about security.

I wanna know what CISOs you've been hanging around, the majority of the ones I have had interactions with would struggle stringing 3 sentences together and that's even before we start getting things like computers involved.

My angle is I try to turn the target to "us as the company" rather than "random Linux machine".

Educated generalizations is key.

A CISO needs to be able to speak business and convince his peers and "higher ups" through common knowledge and relationships. Usually fed with domain knowledge. But my God, I pity you if you have a raw technical CISO. You're hosed. They are cursed with knowledge and more often than not struggle to get their very specific message across to people who regularly ask their son to reboot their laptops.

Oh and that they should report to CEO or COO is about right. If a CISO reports to CIO or CTO you're way on the track towards conflict of interest and you'll see the problem being turned back at you.

I reported to the audit committee of the supervisory board for actual content, and to CEO for salary/bonus purposes. Advice and personal results are decoupled from what IT and Dev are doing, and that's good also: they have very different targets. Your strategy will lie in having them understand the importance of the strategy and you make agreements based on that. However, as soon as they fail to live up to those agreements; shareholders will know in detail through the committee reports.

Moving on from infosec to privacy however gave me a lot more handholds to get poo poo done because somehow that suddenly hits home with colleagues.

That's my CISO story thanks for reading

I got a yubikey and I’m starting have some buyers remorse. Seems like the implementations and vendor support aren’t really there yet, especially for mobile. Like for google I have to use chrome to use it for authentication.

I guess I should have read closer into it.

U2F is a great idea that just isn't ready for primetime outside Enterprise space. Hell, Google still "strongly recommends" putting a phone number as a backup 2FA, completely defeating the point of using non-SMS 2FA options. Asking companies to support USB/NFC dongles is apparently asking the impossible at the moment.

And have fun selling ordinary people on the need to buy a $50-$100 phone-compatible auth dongle when we still can't even get more than less of a third of them to spend a few bucks a month on password managers.

G Suite can ask people for an employee ID as well now, though that's not much use if all your staff wear their lanyards on the train and people are really determined to get into your systems.

Windows is going to work with FIDO2 shortly, so with any luck that will kick adoption up a notch.

Can anyone recommend a good, free password vault for iOS that supports sync? My 73 year old mom is finally willing to move away from having a printed list of passwords, her only devices are an ipad and an iphone, but I can't seem to find anything good as far as keepass apps.

I use 1password and like it. There is an extension to fill passwords in iOS. And in iOS 12, they are supposed to support auto-fill

I wouldn't recommend Keepass for non-techies, anyway. In my experience, Keepass is just a bit too finicky and user-unfriendly for regular older folks to use without handholding. 1Password is your best bet in this case.

Apple keychain on iCloud or 1password are your only bets.

Dropbox account and iOS app Keepass Touch are also any option. Fair comments about simplicity/usability, though.
