 Nearly 160 participants and 5 hours of hands-on knowledge - that’s the outcome of our brand-new event that we held for Bulgarian private and public sectors. On top of that, we are happy to find out that in our after-event survey, 96% of you said that you were very satisfied with the quality of the presentations. For those of you who couldn’t make it this time, we have prepared a short recap of our event.
CyberSec Day is an event for IT management and cybersecurity which was held by Axence in October as a part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month celebrations. Our goal was to share the best practices on IT security, compliance, and business continuity, tap into the expertise of IT management leaders and learn the latest tactics and methods of protection to secure the IT environment. We wanted to assist our audience in discovering solutions and services that support the successful and secure management of IT networks and stay tuned with the current trends.&nbsp;
We grouped talks by theme modules so that each of them covered different aspects of IT management and cybersecurity. In each module, we gathered a great speaker lineup - cybersecurity officers, industry experts, government representatives, and leaders from all sorts of businesses of key industries. Our guests could tap into the expertise of Jenny Boneva, Svetlin Iliev, Pavel Georgiev, Jasen Tanev, Miglen Evlogiev, Vladimir Dimitrov, to name a few.

The event started with the&nbsp;Opening Speech&nbsp;delivered by Miglen Evlogiev - the founder of the Bulgarian Cybersecurity Foundation. According to the expert, most data breaches are the result of phishing. One of the innovations in phishing in the last two or three years is a browser-in-the-browser attack in which JavaScript is used to pop up a window that looks exactly like the login screen with a username and password on a legitimate popular website. He also pointed out that phishing campaign simulations are the best way to train employees.

The Opening Speech was followed by the&nbsp;Discussion Panel, moderated by Svetlin Iliev from Bulgarian Cybersecurity Association. The experts discussed the current state of IT security, products, legislation, certification schemes, etc. Pavel Georgiev who is the Founder of Cyber Security Talks Bulgaria - an initiative that is holding monthly cybersecurity-themed events and it is building a community of professionals, hacktivists, tech enthusiasts, government representatives, and many more, stated that the advantage of communities is that people belong to a community because they want to.

<h5 id="Experts-in-the-Discussion-Panel" style="text-align: center; font-size: 12px;" data-renderer-start-pos="2762">Experts in the Discussion Panel</h5>
The only female expert in the Discussion, Jenny Boneva shared a few very interesting takeaways. She claimed that establishing cybersecurity frameworks is the key part of establishing protection for organizations. She also pointed out that organizations are well-aware about the cybersecurity standards and best practices, however, customizing them is now the most challenging part. The reason for that is that information security is sometimes against the performance so it is important to balance those two functions.
The experience shared by Vladimir Dimitrov, representing the Bulgarian Cybercrime Unit, particularly caught the attention of the participants of the event. He mentioned some real-life cases from his everyday work and how he and his coworkers are dealing with cyber crimes.
Jasen Tanev, on the other hand, was supporting the view that building cyber awareness early on is key for ensuring cybersecurity. In this respect, universities play an important role.
IT Management and Security Module&nbsp;was inaugurated by Marcin Matuszewski, Senior IT Engineer at Axence. He strongly encouraged organizations to create their cybersecurity checklist. Since, it is yet difficult for businesses to completely anticipate and eliminate imminent cyber threats, having a solid cybersecurity checklist might come in handy to strengthen IT networks. This list should include such areas as critical infrastructure monitoring, asset inventory, user monitoring, etc.

The expert particularly pointed out how significant it is to optimize communication with the IT department to handle problems faster and more effectively.
The highlight of Marcin’s presentation was the demonstration of the malware attack which sparked curiosity among the audience.
That was the theory - but how does integrated IT management and security look in practice? The answer to this question was provided by representatives from Euroins. They talked about their challenges and shared their experience of implementing the nVision solution and how the new system has eased their tasks.

Data Protection Module&nbsp;was recapping the event. John Bycroft from Comforte AG in a very thought-provoking way touched on the topic of the future of data protection and how it must change to meet new challenges. According to the expert, the solution to the current challenges lies in data-centric security through tokenization, which is already one step ahead of encryption.

Apart from tapping into the expertise of IT management and cybersecurity leaders, the guests could take part in networking sessions. They also could visit our company stand and grab some nice gifts.
And of course, you couldn’t be part of our event, without our amazing Partners: <a title="Digitalk" href="https://digitalk.bg/" target="_blank">https://digitalk.bg/</a>,&nbsp;ECO (European Cybersecurity Organization), Nikrama, Comforte, and Cyber Security Talks Bulgaria.

CyberSec Day - an event recap

<img src="files/news/2023-02/MicrosoftTeams-image.png" style="display: none;">
 <h2>Here's all you need to know</h2>
 
 <div class="ce_text block">
 From servers and routers, through computers and printers, to the smallest devices, and even documents and licenses - the world of IT assets is immense and includes crucial elements of any organization. Therefore, handling an IT asset inventory oftentimes appears to be a time-consuming and labor-intensive activity. In this walk-through, we will show you what you should pay attention to when selecting an asset inventory management system so that it is the one with the features your business will really value.
<h2>What is IT Asset Management?</h2>
When talking about IT assets, it is important to understand what ITAM is. It stands for IT Asset Management and it is about far more than just creating an asset inventory. It is the lifeblood that helps provide better security for your business in general.
From the network security perspective, you can’t protect what you are not even aware that you have. It increases the risk of not knowing what is in fact connected to your network, thus, making it exposed to vulnerabilities. Therefore, being able to track and audit your inventory is the principal requirement for the majority of security standards.
Whether it is an outdated system or software, devices used outside the company, or some removable media, you can easily identify them all with an ITAM tool.
<h2>What are the benefits of ITAM?</h2>
Here are some benefits of ITAM:
<ol>
<li>You can keep all your asset information in one place.</li>
<li>You have more detailed information on every asset and can easily track down their location.</li>
<li>You can keep your assets organized and thus, easily report on them.</li>
<li>You can track asset performance - have detailed asset logs and maintenance history.</li>
<li>You can minimize the chance of unexpected breakdowns.</li>
<li>You can track the asset through its lifecycle so that you know when to plan for upgrades or disposal.</li>
<li>You can optimize your procurement process and plan your purchases better.</li>
<li>You reduce potential risks.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Best Practices for ITAM</h2>
You probably don't need to convince anyone that implementing ITAM is beneficial for the organization. However, to do that right, you need to keep a few principles top of mind:
<ol>
<li>ITAM is a continuous process, not something that you do once and for all. You need to constantly update and monitor your IT assets.</li>
<li>Any new device within your organization should be immediately added to your IT Asset Inventory and have monitoring software installed onto it so that you can actively monitor it, making sure everything runs smoothly.</li>
<li>Use automation in the ITAM processes whenever possible - schedule periodic scans, set up alerts, etc.</li>
<li>Continuously track all your IT assets. It will give you greater control over your network.</li>
<li>Prioritize your IT assets in order of importance - it will enable you to make quicker maintenance decisions and support business uptime.</li>
<li>Introduce a lifecycle management approach to get the most of your IT assets for their entire lifespan. It will help you identify how long an asset will work and when it should be disposed of.</li>
</ol>
<h2>How to implement ITAM in your organization?</h2>
With many Asset Inventory Management Software out there on the market, you should go for one that offers the features that meet your organization's specific requirements:
<ol>
<li>It should be easily configurable and customizable so that you can adjust preferences, generate documents, and above all, suits the policies of your company.</li>
<li>It should be mobile compatible so that you can access it whenever you need it.</li>
<li>It would be great if it offers a great deal of flexibility and it is intuitive to use.</li>
<li>You can follow your company’s policies and processes with it.</li>
</ol>
Now, you can have it all with Axence nVsion® that comes in with its brand-new Mobile Inventory Assistant. It is a mobile application that will enable you to manage your organization's assets without limits! You no longer need to start your work computer and log in to the console – you can use your smartphone instead. Check it out and download the Inventory Assistant for Android! </div>

 <div class="ce_text block">
 Create your&nbsp;ticket approval flows
In Axence nVision®14, you can easily create your own ticket approval flows, indicating the people who should decide on the execution of a specific ticket. The system itself will send notifications with a request for approval and notify the appropriate people in your organization.
Enable secure apps in a convenient, self-service&nbsp;software repository
From now on, instead of constantly authorizing the installation of the same application on dozens of computers, it is enough to add it to the list of trusted programs and each user will be able to install it themselves. As a set of authorized applications is created by the IT department, users have access to them directly from the nVision agent on their computers.
New notification channels about alarms
Among other novelties, it is also worth highlighting additional notification channels to which an alert from nVision can be sent. Now, apart from text messages, e-mails and desktop notifications, you can also receive notifications about alerts via MS Teams and Slack messengers. The commercial SMS API application is at your disposal, too!

The release of Axence nVision® 14

<img src="files/news/2022-05/follina_news_eng.png" style="display: none;">
 <h2>What is 'Follina' Zero-Day Vulnerability and how can you protect against it?</h2>
 
 <div class="ce_text block">
 Until now, in the overwhelming majority of cases, it was enough to have macros disabled to deal with infected Microsoft Office. However, it is not the case with Follina vulnerability that works completely different - you just need to open a text file to run a dangerous script.
In short, the way it works is that opening a Word document downloads an external HTML file that contains the instruction that executes the msdt.exe command. This is how the MSDT* system tool is launched, with which you can execute any code in PowerShell.
Unfortunately, as of today, no security patch from Microsoft is available. To protect yourself from Follina vulnerability, go to Axence nVision® in:
<div class="fabric-editor-block-mark fabric-editor-indentation-mark" data-level="1">
Users -&gt; All Users -&gt; Atlas Info -&gt; Locks -&gt; Application Blocking → and then block the msdt.exe application.
</div>
It is also advisable to create an automatic report displaying the employee's accounts on which msdt.exe was run and checking it on a regular basis. In nVision, such a report can be automatically generated and sent to the indicated e-mail address.
It is also worth considering permanently disabling PowerShell from being run by employees. Our experience shows that the vast majority of organizations do not have such a blockade, and thus, make themselves more vulnerable to potential attacks.
Here’s the way you can do that:
Users -&gt; All Users -&gt; About Atlas -&gt; Locks -&gt; Application Blocking → and then typing powershell.exe.
In this case, it's also a good idea to set up automatic reports showing which computers PowerShell is run on. If you want to find out more information about Follina vulnerability, check out our next article.
*MSDT (Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool) is an embedded tool used by Windows to report, diagnose, and troubleshoot operating system errors. </div>

 <h2>See what's waiting for you in the new version!</h2>
 
 <div class="ce_text block">
 The owners of Android smartphones will be able to monitor inventory assets not only in the nVision console, but also in the mobile application. It will not only allow to add and edit assets, but also to search for them in the system by scanning the label. We encourage all customers with a valid Service Agreement to download and test the application.
A lot of changes also appeared in nVision itself. Staying on the subject of inventory - the document generator is worth mentioning. From now on, it is enough to create a template of the required protocol, and use it whenever needed.
In the previous version, we integrated nVision with Windows Defender. Thanks to that, it is possible to control the anti-virus from the console level. Now, it's time for Windows Firewall! In this way, we are taking the next step towards centralizing security in one tool.
The dark mode that we previously introduced in AdminCenter appealed to our users so much that we decided to introduce it in other areas as well. So we followed the blow and in the latest version we provide an additional (dark) view mode in the SmartTime and HelpDesk modules.

 <div class="ce_text block">
 In wake of current crisis, there has been obsereved a significant increase in cyber-attacks. One may wonder about their reasons, but from historical perspective, such cyber-activites usually escalate when geo-politcal tensions are high and this time it isn’t any different. As a result, some alerts and warnings to organizations have been issued in order to boost their cyber defence and prevent further attacks from emerging. Hopefully, with our short walk-through of cyber security essentials, you will mitigate potential risks and keep a closer eye on your network vulnerabilities.
Here are a few key points you should pay special attention to. In particular, make sure that:
<ol class="ak-ol" data-indent-level="1">

</li>
<li>
A password manager storing and encrypting all passwords is utilized.
</li>
<li>
When visiting websites a secure protocol is followed.
</li>
<li>
The use of removable devices is considerably limited and approved only if there is a valid business case for its use.
</li>
<li>
Popular cloud storage websites, eg. Google Drive, Dropbox, are blocked on company devices.
</li>
<li>
The use of company devices is GDPR compliant.
</li>
