Tenable Research Uncovers Thousands of Vulnerable Cyber Assets Amongst Southeast Asia’s Financial Sector

 New research conducted by Tenable®, Inc., the exposure management company, has uncovered more than 26,500 potential internet-facing assets among Southeast Asia’s top banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) companies by market capitalisation across Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

On July 15, 2024, Tenable examined the external attack surface of over 90 BFSI organisations with the largest market capitalisations across the region. The findings revealed that the average organisation possesses nearly 300 internet-facing assets susceptible to potential exploitation, resulting in a total of more than 26,500 assets across the study group.

Singapore ranked the highest among the six countries assessed, with over 11,000 internet-facing assets identified across its top 16 BFSI companies. Over 6,000 of those assets are hosted in the United States. Next on the list is Thailand with over 5000 assets. The distribution of internet-accessible assets underscores the need for cybersecurity strategies that adapt to the rapidly evolving digital landscape.

“The results of our study reveal that many financial institutions are struggling to close the priority security gaps that put them at risk. Effective exposure management is key to closing these gaps,” said Nigel Ng, Senior Vice President, Tenable APJ. “By identifying and securing vulnerable assets before they can be exploited, organisations can better protect themselves against the growing tide of cyberattacks.” 


Cyber Hygiene Gaps 
The Tenable study revealed many potential vulnerabilities and exposed several cyber hygiene issues among the study group, including outdated software, weak encryption, and misconfigurations. These vulnerabilities provide cybercriminals with easily exploitable potential entry points, posing potential risk to the integrity and security of financial data. 

Weak SSL/TLS encryption 

A notable finding is that among the total assets, organisations had nearly 2,500 still supporting TLS 1.0—a 25-year old security protocol introduced in 1999 and disabled by Microsoft in September 2022. This highlights the significant challenge organisations with extensive internet footprints face in identifying and updating outdated technologies.

Misconfiguration increases external exposure

Another concerning discovery was that over 4,000 assets, originally intended for internal use, were inadvertently exposed and are now accessible externally. Failing to secure these internal assets poses a significant risk to organisations, as it creates an opportunity for malicious actors to target sensitive information and critical systems.

Lack of encryption 

There were over 900 assets with unencrypted final URLs, which can present a security weakness. When URLs are unencrypted, the data transmitted between the user's browser and the server is not protected by encryption, making it vulnerable to interception, eavesdropping, and manipulation by malicious actors. This lack of encryption can lead to the exposure of sensitive information, such as login credentials, personal data, or payment details, and can compromise the integrity of the communication.


API vulnerabilities amplify risk

The identification of over 2,000 API v3 out of the total number of assets among organisations' digital infrastructure poses a substantial risk to their security and operational integrity.

APIs serve as crucial connectors between software applications, facilitating seamless data exchange. However, inadequate authentication, insufficient input validation, weak access controls, and vulnerabilities in dependencies within API v3 implementations create a vulnerable attack surface.

Malicious actors can exploit such weaknesses to gain unauthorised access, compromise data integrity, and launch devastating cyber attacks.

“The cybersecurity landscape is evolving faster than ever, and financial institutions must evolve with it, so they can know where they are exposed and take action to close critical risk” Ng added. “By prioritising exposure management, these organisations can better protect their digital assets, safeguard customer trust, and ensure the resilience of their operations in an increasingly hostile digital environment.”

Tenable Introduces AI Aware: A Groundbreaking Proactive Security Solution for AI and Large Language Models

Tenable®, the exposure management company, today announced the release of AI Aware, advanced detection capabilities designed to rapidly surface artificial intelligence solutions, vulnerabilities and weaknesses available in Tenable Vulnerability Management, the world’s #1 vulnerability management solution. Tenable AI Aware provides exposure insight into AI applications, libraries and plugins so organizations can confidently expose and close AI risk, without inhibiting business operations.

The rapid development and adoption of AI technologies in the past two years has introduced major cybersecurity and compliance risks that organizations must proactively address without established best practices. As a result, cybersecurity teams face significant AI-related challenges, such as vulnerability detection and remediation, containing data leakage and reining in unauthorized AI use. 

According to recent Tenable Research, more than one-third of security teams are finding usage of AI applications in their environment that might not have been provisioned via formal processes. In fact, during a 75-day period between late June and early September, Tenable found over 9 million instances of AI applications on more than 1 million hosts. The cybersecurity risk of unfettered AI usage is compounded by the increasing volume of AI vulnerabilities. Tenable Research has found and disclosed several vulnerabilities in AI solutions, including in Microsoft Copilot, Flowise, Langflow, among others.

With AI Aware, Tenable transforms proactive security for AI solutions. Tenable AI Aware uniquely leverages agents, passive network monitoring, dynamic application security testing and distributed scan engines to detect approved and unapproved AI software, libraries and browser plugins, along with associated vulnerabilities, thereby mitigating risks of exploitation, data leakage and unauthorized resource consumption. The combined depth of these multiple assessment methods delivers the most complete detection of AI in the modern ecosystem. 

[Watch the Tenable AI Aware product demo video here.]

“In an effort to keep pace with the sea change introduced by AI, organizations around the world ran full speed ahead, potentially bypassing countless cybersecurity, privacy and compliance red flags,” said Shai Morag, chief product officer, Tenable. “Perhaps more so than with any other new technology we’ve seen, there are many risk factors to consider, especially with rushed development and deployment. Tenable AI Aware empowers organizations to deploy AI confidently, ensuring their security measures keep pace with the rapid evolution of AI technologies.”

In addition to AI software and vulnerability detection, key AI Aware features available in Tenable Vulnerability Management, Tenable Security Center and Tenable One include:

  • Dashboard Views provide a snapshot of the most common AI software discovered in the ecosystem, top assets with vulnerabilities related to AI and the most common communication ports leveraged by AI technologies. 
  • Shadow Software Development Detection illuminates the unexpected existence of the building blocks of AI development in the environment, enabling businesses to align initiatives with organizational best practices.
  • Filter Findings for AI Detections enable teams to focus on AI-related findings when reviewing vulnerability assessment results. Combined with the power of Tenable Vulnerability Prioritization Rating (VPR), teams can effectively assess and prioritize vulnerabilities introduced by AI packages and libraries. 
  • Asset-Centric AI-Inventory provides a complete inventory of AI-related packages, libraries and browser plugins while reviewing the detailed profile of an asset.

Tenable Cloud Risk Report Sounds the Alarm on Toxic Cloud Exposures Threatening Global Organizations

Tenable®, the exposure management company, today released its 2024 Tenable Cloud Risk Report, which examines the critical risks at play in modern cloud environments. Most alarmingly, nearly four in 10 organizations globally are leaving themselves exposed at the highest levels due to the “toxic cloud trilogy” of publicly exposed, critically vulnerable and highly privileged cloud workloads. Each of these misalignments alone introduces risk to cloud data, but the combination of all three drastically elevates the likelihood of exposure access by cyber attackers.

Security gaps caused by misconfigurations, risky entitlements and vulnerabilities combine to dramatically increase cloud risk. The Tenable Cloud Risk Report provides a deep dive into the most pressing cloud security issues observed in the first half of 2024, highlighting areas such as identities and permissions, workloads, storage resources, vulnerabilities, containers and Kubernetes. It also offers mitigation guidance for organizations seeking ways to limit exposures in the cloud.

Publicly exposed and highly privileged cloud data lead to data leaks. Critical vulnerabilities exacerbate the likelihood of incidents. The report reveals that a staggering 38% of organizations have cloud workloads that meet all three of these toxic cloud trilogy criteria, representing a perfect storm of exposure for cyber attackers to target. When bad actors exploit these exposures, incidents commonly include application disruptions, full system takeovers, and DDoS attacks that are often associated with ransomware. Scenarios like these could devastate an organization, with the 2024 average cost of a single data breach approaching $5 million.1 

Additional key findings from the report include: 

  • 84% of organizations have risky access keys to cloud resources: The majority of organizations (84.2%) possess unused or longstanding access keys with critical or high severity excessive permissions, a significant security gap that poses substantial risk. 
  • 23% of cloud identities have critical or high severity excessive permissions: Analysis of Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure reveals that 23% of cloud identities, both human and non-human, have critical or high severity excessive permissions. 
  • Critical vulnerabilities persist: Notably, CVE-2024-21626, a severe container escape vulnerability that could lead to the server host compromise, remained unremediated in over 80% of workloads even 40 days after its publishing. 
  • 74% of organizations have publicly exposed storage: 74% of organizations have publicly exposed storage assets, including those in which sensitive data resides. This exposure, often due to unnecessary or excessive permissions, has been linked to increased ransomware attacks. 
  • 78% of organizations have publicly accessible Kubernetes API servers: Of these, 41% also allow inbound internet access. Additionally, 58% of organizations have cluster-admin role bindings — which means that certain users have unrestricted control over all the Kubernetes environments.

“Our report reveals that an overwhelming number of organizations have access exposures in their cloud workloads of which they may not even be aware,” said Shai Morag, chief product officer, Tenable. “It’s not always about bad actors launching novel attacks. In many instances, misconfigurations and over-privileged access represent the highest risk for cloud data exposures. The good news is, many of these security gaps can be closed easily once they are known and exposed.”

The report reflects findings by the Tenable Cloud Research team based on telemetry from millions of cloud resources across multiple public cloud repositories, analyzed from January 1 through June 30, 2024.

Establishing a Software Inventory

In the event of a security breach, a software inventory is essential to determine what was breached, and who needs to be notified.  First responders require a software inventory to perform forensic analysis and determine breach notification requirements for vendors, business partners, and regulatory bodies. Organizations that have a clear understanding of software in their environment can quickly assess a breach impact and identify affected areas. If legal proceedings are involved, an organized software inventory greatly assists in limiting data handed over to Law Enforcement and assists technical staff in depositions or testimony. 

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery plans specify requirements for restoration of critical assets and services, but these need to be identified to establish a Recovery Time Objective (the amount of time to recover a service to an acceptable level of operation) and Recovery Point Objective (the last point of known good data.)  Developing and maintaining a software inventory is a critical first step in implementing an effective cyber security program.

A software inventory helps demonstrate compliance with regulatory controls and Service Level Agreements (SLA) for software used in the environment. From the perspective of “less is more,” a software inventory also identifies unnecessary software running in the environment, which increases the attack surface without providing a business advantage.

Security operations perform scans to identify operating system and application versions, including unsupported software and unpatched systems. This information is used to establish a secure baseline and measure drift from that baseline. A software inventory is necessary to determine if the software is authorized, appropriately licensed, supported, and has the most recent security fixes applied.
Identifying the authorized software assets is an important step to ensure critical assets are protected. The larger the organization, the more difficult the inventory process becomes. Tenable.io and Tenable.sc help organizations build a software inventory. There are several software discovery plugins that run by default in the following scan templates:

  • Basic and Advanced Agent Scans
  • Advanced (Network) Scan
  • Basic (Network) Scan
  • Credentialed Patch Audit
  • Internal PCI Network Scan

Maintaining a software inventory aids in cyber hygiene and minimizes unauthorized software installation. Many organizations perform an annual audit by an external third party, where they are required to enumerate authorized software that is running in the environment. Organizations that maintain a current software inventory throughout the year can produce information required by auditors and vendors with minimal effort. 

The report and its chapters are available in the Tenable.sc Feed, a comprehensive collection of dashboards, reports, assurance report cards and assets. The report can be easily located in the Tenable.sc Feed under the category Discovery and Detection.

The report requirements are: 

  • Tenable.sc 5.19.1
  • Nessus 10.0.1

Security leaders need to SEE everything, PREDICT what matters most and ACT to address cyber risk and effectively align cybersecurity initiatives with business objectives. Tenable.io discovers and analyzes assets continuously to provide an accurate and unified view of an organization’s security posture.

Ransomware Ecosystem

Ransomware has evolved into an ecosystem with multiple players and an expanded threat model. Ransomware groups now deploy a double extortion technique, where they both encrypt and exfiltrate their victims’ data. The Tenable Security Research Team has released a report that enumerates common vulnerabilities exploited by ransomware affiliates and groups. The Ransomware Ecosystem report enables organizations to quickly scan for the vulnerabilities commonly exploited by ransomware groups.

Organizations with effective Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery plans are protected against threats to availability of data, which can come in many forms, such as natural disasters, hardware failures, or malicious attacks. These organizations could recover operations from a traditional ransomware attack without paying the ransom. However, the vulnerabilities that gave ransomware groups the opportunity to successfully penetrate the infrastructure may still leave organizations open to significant risk. Like any good business, ransomware players discovered the advantage of threatening data confidentiality by publishing samples of their targets’ sensitive data and threatening to expose all the data unless they are paid.

Threat actors understand the economic advantage of investing in the ransomware ecosystem, becoming more sophisticated and efficient over time. Organizations often struggle to secure a budget for resources needed to protect their infrastructure and prevent attacks from succeeding.

The Ransomware Ecosystem report displays assets by plugin family along with associated vulnerabilities. Operations teams use this information to evaluate risk based on the organization’s business priorities. The ability to rapidly mitigate vulnerabilities requires data to be presented in a concise manner focused on findings that pose the greatest risk to the organization. Risk managers leverage risk-based vulnerability management platforms to prioritize mitigation efforts.

This report is available in the Tenable.sc Feed, a comprehensive collection of dashboards, reports, Assurance Report Cards, and assets. The report can be easily located in the Tenable.sc Feed under the category Compliance & Configuration Assessments. The report requirements are:

  • Tenable.sc 5.18.0

My reasons to conduct an audit on these signs of fate finds more evidencecould Jacobs life be the pieces of the puzzle of Jacob Zumas that weve been looking for? What you see right now is the answer. Dear Jacob is a radical connection between these two Jacobs: the grandson of Abraham and the honorable president of the Republic of South Africa, Mr. Jacob G. Zuma. This is billion miles ahead of inspiration, a healthy root of the political expertise and leadership evolution. But here I focus on presenting Jacob as Jacob Zuma, human yet divine, dejected, rejected, and despised, but chosen. In this letter, the worst and the best moments of Jacob are prognostic to the life of Jacob Zuma, but negativity is to me a myth because positivity is my path. The story that brings nemesis to the enemies of positive reception is found from Genesis 25:19 and beyond in the King James Bible. I have cared for the meanings on the wall because words can start a war. Not only will you see Jacob Zuma different after reading this book, but you should be able to predict the next events that might occur as the clock of life moves toward the beginning.

Dear Jeril ... love, Dad / Wayne P. Anderson.

As a Father's Day gift Wayne Anderson's oldest daughter Jerilyn, often called Jeril, presented him with a fat three-hole notebook containing the letters and stories he had written her from the time she was twenty until she was thirty-eight-from 1977 to 1995. It was one of his dearest Father's Day gifts ever. And it was an especially appropriate gift as she had been an avid reader since childhood and was now a creative librarian who continued to cherish the written word. Anderson was amazed at how much detail there was in the letters about his adventures around the world. He has decided to share the parts of these letters that other travelers, active or armchair, might enjoy in this Venture Bound Book.
