CERTs and Digital Forensics: The Need for Security Collaborations Among Regions Dr. Soranun Jiwasurat Division Director, Office of Security, ETDA 1

ThaiCERT: A Quick Glance • A government funded unit, established in 2000 • The first and only non-profit CSIRT (Computer Security Incident Response Team) in Thailand • Provide an incident response service to Thai local constituency, and to other international entities where the sources of attacks are originated within Thailand 2

Operations • Incident coordination • Digital forensics • Security and Awareness training • Research and development 4

Technical Capabilities and Tools • Risk / vulnerability assessment • Malware analysis • Threat watch • Digital forensics examination • Log monitoring • And bunch of opensource tools like Xen, Spam cleaner, Volatility, splunk, etc. 5

What we have seen: • Most incidents were reported from foreign entities • Recent attacks were likely to be originated from distributed sources • Many victims did not know what to do after an incident occurred • Existing communication channel lacks some properties – e.g. e-mail is solid, but is not the best option when an immediate action is needed to be taken 9

Why collaboration is needed: • One incident, many relevant entities – Active collaboration is crucial • Some information needs to be properly exchanged with other entities to make it useful – e.g. information from a threat monitoring system should be exchanged in real-time • No one knows everything – Need sharing knowledge and experience in order to know the bad guys’ trick • Not only among infosec people, but also with end users 10

Collaborations Incident information exchange and subscription: Raw incident reports Threat Watch System Incident alerts and reports Website System … … ISPs admins maintainers 11

About Digital Forensics • Became one of the main operations since early 2012 • Creating a collaboration network is one of our top priorities – Constantly participated in a number of seminars and trainings to make connections, share experience and develop skills – Work closely and support LEA and Ministry of Justice • Plan for establishing a full-scale digital forensics lab – Clean room (Disk Forensics) – Mobile Chip-off and Forensics – Computer Forensics 20
