The US Regulation Authorities will assess the recently done intrusion of government emails aided by Microsoft. Microsoft’s handing the cyber security breach have attracted scrutiny from the Authorities. Alejandro N. Mayorkas, Secretary of Home land Security, announced on Friday that the Cyber Safety Board will soon conduct its next review on the malevolent targeting of cloud computing ecosystems.
The Department of Homeland Security stated that “The review will focus on approaches government, industry, and Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) should employ to strengthen identity management and authentication in the cloud”,
The Cyber Safety Review Board will assess the recently performed Microsoft Exchange Online intrusion, which was reported in July this year for the first time. The Agency is about to conduct an in depth review of wider range of issues relating to cloud based identities and authenticcation infrastructureaffecting applicable Cloud Safety Providers and their customers.
After the review, the safety board will frame pragmatic recommendations after concluding the probe which will advance cybersecurity practices for cloud computing customers and Cloud Service Providers.
Once the probe will be concluded, the report will be delivered to President Joe Biden.
Mayorkas said that “Cloud security is the backbone of some of our most critical systems, from our e-commerce platforms to our communication tools to our critical infrastructure”.
The Secretary emphasized “In its reviews of the Log4j vulnerabilities and activities associated with Lapsus$, the CSRB has proven itself to be ready to tackle and examine critical and timely issues like this one. Actionable recommendations from the CSRB will help all organisations better secure their data and further cyber resilience”
The first review of Cyber Security Review Board focused on vulnerabilities discovered in late 2021 in the widely used Log4j open-source software library.
Its second review assessed the recent malicious attacks related with Lapsus$, a global extortion-focused hacker group. After the review, The Review board found that Lapsus$ used simple techniques to elude industry-standard security tools that are a lynchpin of many corporate cybersecurity programmes.
Rob Silvers, CSRB Chair and DHS Under Secretary for Policy said “The Cyber Safety Review Board is designed to assess significant incidents and ecosystem vulnerabilities and make recommendations based on the lessons learned. To do this work, we bring together the best expertise from industry and government. The Board will undertake a thorough review”.
