CYBER THREAT INTELLIGENCE“Martin takes a thorough and focused approach to the processes that rule threat intelligence, but he doesn’t just cover gathering, processing and distributing intelligence. He explains why you should care who is trying to hack you, and what you can do about it when you know.”—SIMON EDWARDS, Security Testing Expert, CEO SE Labs Ltd., Chair AMTSO EFFECTIVE INTRODUCTION TO CYBER THREAT INTELLIGENCE, SUPPLEMENTED WITH DETAILED CASE STUDIES AND AFTER ACTION REPORTS OF INTELLIGENCE ON REAL ATTACKSCyber Threat Intelligence introduces the history, terminology, and techniques to be applied within cyber security, offering an overview of the current state of cyberattacks and stimulating readers to consider their own issues from a threat intelligence point of view. The author takes a systematic, system-agnostic, and holistic view to generating, collecting, and applying threat intelligence. The text covers the threat environment, malicious attacks, collecting, generating, and applying intelligence and attribution, as well as legal and ethical considerations. It ensures readers know what to look out for when considering a potential cyber attack and imparts how to prevent attacks early on, explaining how threat actors can exploit a system’s vulnerabilities. It also includes analysis of large scale attacks such as WannaCry, NotPetya, Solar Winds, VPNFilter, and the Target breach, looking at the real intelligence that was available before and after the attack. Topics covered in Cyber Threat Intelligence include:* The constant change of the threat environment as capabilities, intent, opportunities, and defenses change and evolve* Different business models of threat actors, and how these dictate the choice of victims and the nature of their attacks* Planning and executing a threat intelligence programme to improve an organistation’s cyber security posture* Techniques for attributing attacks and holding perpetrators to account for their actionsCyber Threat Intelligence describes the intelligence techniques and models used in cyber threat intelligence. It provides a survey of ideas, views and concepts, rather than offering a hands-on practical guide. It is intended for anyone who wishes to learn more about the domain, particularly if they wish to develop a career in intelligence, and as a reference for those already working in the area. MARTIN LEE is Technical Lead of Security Research within Talos, Cisco’s threat intelligence and research organization.

A ROBUST AND ENGAGING ACCOUNT OF THE SINGLE GREATEST THREAT FACED BY AI AND ML SYSTEMSIn Not With A Bug, But With A Sticker: Attacks on Machine Learning Systems and What To Do About Them, a team of distinguished adversarial machine learning researchers deliver a riveting account of the most significant risk to currently deployed artificial intelligence systems: cybersecurity threats. The authors take you on a sweeping tour – from inside secretive government organizations to academic workshops at ski chalets to Google’s cafeteria – recounting how major AI systems remain vulnerable to the exploits of bad actors of all stripes. Based on hundreds of interviews of academic researchers, policy makers, business leaders and national security experts, the authors compile the complex science of attacking AI systems with color and flourish and provide a front row seat to those who championed this change. Grounded in real world examples of previous attacks, you will learn how adversaries can upend the reliability of otherwise robust AI systems with straightforward exploits. The steeplechase to solve this problem has already begun: Nations and organizations are aware that securing AI systems brings forth an indomitable advantage: the prize is not just to keep AI systems safe but also the ability to disrupt the competition’s AI systems. An essential and eye-opening resource for machine learning and software engineers, policy makers and business leaders involved with artificial intelligence, and academics studying topics including cybersecurity and computer science, Not With A Bug, But With A Sticker is a warning—albeit an entertaining and engaging one—we should all heed. How we secure our AI systems will define the next decade. The stakes have never been higher, and public attention and debate on the issue has never been scarcer. The authors are donating the proceeds from this book to two charities: Black in AI and Bountiful Children’s Foundation.

PROVIDES READERS WITH A SOLID FOUNDATION IN ARM ASSEMBLY INTERNALS AND REVERSE-ENGINEERING FUNDAMENTALS AS THE BASIS FOR ANALYZING AND SECURING BILLIONS OF ARM DEVICESFinding and mitigating security vulnerabilities in Arm devices is the next critical internet security frontier—Arm processors are already in use by more than 90% of all mobile devices, billions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and a growing number of current laptops from companies including Microsoft, Lenovo, and Apple. Written by a leading expert on Arm security, Blue Fox: Arm Assembly Internals and Reverse Engineering introduces readers to modern Armv8-A instruction sets and the process of reverse-engineering Arm binaries for security research and defensive purposes. Divided into two sections, the book first provides an overview of the ELF file format and OS internals, followed by Arm architecture fundamentals, and a deep-dive into the A32 and A64 instruction sets. Section Two delves into the process of reverse-engineering itself: setting up an Arm environment, an introduction to static and dynamic analysis tools, and the process of extracting and emulating firmware for analysis. The last chapter provides the reader a glimpse into macOS malware analysis of binaries compiled for the Arm-based M1 SoC. Throughout the book, the reader is given an extensive understanding of Arm instructions and control-flow patterns essential for reverse engineering software compiled for the Arm architecture. Providing an in-depth introduction into reverse-engineering for engineers and security researchers alike, this book:* Offers an introduction to the Arm architecture, covering both AArch32 and AArch64 instruction set states, as well as ELF file format internals* Presents in-depth information on Arm assembly internals for reverse engineers analyzing malware and auditing software for security vulnerabilities, as well as for developers seeking detailed knowledge of the Arm assembly language* Covers the A32/T32 and A64 instruction sets supported by the Armv8-A architecture with a detailed overview of the most common instructions and control flow patterns* Introduces known reverse engineering tools used for static and dynamic binary analysis * Describes the process of disassembling and debugging Arm binaries on Linux, and using common disassembly and debugging tools Blue Fox: Arm Assembly Internals and Reverse Engineering is a vital resource for security researchers and reverse engineers who analyze software applications for Arm-based devices at the assembly level. MARIA MARKSTEDTER is the CEO and founder of Azeria Labs, offering high-quality training courses on Arm reverse engineering and exploitation. She has an extensive educational background, holding a Bachelor’s degree in Corporate Security and a Master’s degree in Enterprise Security, and has collaborated with Arm on exploit mitigation research. Maria’s outstanding contributions to the cybersecurity industry have earned her a place on Forbes’ “30 under 30” list for technology in Europe (2018) and the title of Forbes Person of the Year in Cybersecurity in 2020.
