Management Responsibility

I have enjoyed to read this acritical and it just make my opinion that Cyber-events can't be manage by the CISO. Cyber-attack at these days are impact almost all layers of business and need to be manage by BCM (Business Continuity Management) team. This team can have other name depending on the business but most of the time this team run by a senior executive management member. The CISO team have an important and critical role by blocking and contain the attack but its go further and the recovery process can be take days, months and beyond. The real message also should be for that board and executive management need to take responsibility for overall Cyber risk including "back to normal" and then we can go for drills, r&r in major cyber event.

Re: Public relations scenario
I wrote this for humor but one helluva lot of it comes out of Experian and consulting such as City of Atlanta last year and general knowledge of IBM and Wipro.  Parts of this little diatribe are very very true.  This is how many firms manage a breach either in sum total or in parts.  While funny it is also mostly real world so smile, laugh but then think a bit.  How would YOUR firm respond?

Public relations scenario
First week - we suffered a minor breach and we are investigating.

Second week - we have experts and contracted consultants investigating at minimal cost.

Third week - we have fired the consultants due to cost and have internal staff reviewing.

Fourth week - we have fired internal staff and hired Wipro.

Fifth week - we fired Wipro

  Day 2 of Fifth week - we hired IBM to investigate.

  Day 3 of fifth week - we fired IBM and hired ex-FBI agents to investigate.

Sixth week - Our initial survey indicated that minimal loss of customer data exists.

Seventh week - FBI agents report significant amounts of customer data are being sold on the dark web.

Eighth week - we offer free credit monitoring service.

Ninth week - CIO and CISO have been fired.  CEO to testify before Congress.

Tenth week - shareholders demand firing of CEO

Eleventh week - CEO fired and replaced with H1-B Visa candidate from Tata.

All is well

CVE-2020-15208
PUBLISHED: 2020-09-25
In tensorflow-lite before versions 1.15.4, 2.0.3, 2.1.2, 2.2.1 and 2.3.1, when determining the common dimension size of two tensors, TFLite uses a `DCHECK` which is no-op outside of debug compilation modes. Since the function always returns the dimension of the first tensor, malicious attackers can ...
CVE-2020-15209
PUBLISHED: 2020-09-25
In tensorflow-lite before versions 1.15.4, 2.0.3, 2.1.2, 2.2.1 and 2.3.1, a crafted TFLite model can force a node to have as input a tensor backed by a `nullptr` buffer. This can be achieved by changing a buffer index in the flatbuffer serialization to convert a read-only tensor to a read-write one....
CVE-2020-15210
PUBLISHED: 2020-09-25
In tensorflow-lite before versions 1.15.4, 2.0.3, 2.1.2, 2.2.1 and 2.3.1, if a TFLite saved model uses the same tensor as both input and output of an operator, then, depending on the operator, we can observe a segmentation fault or just memory corruption. We have patched the issue in d58c96946b and ...
CVE-2020-15211
PUBLISHED: 2020-09-25
In TensorFlow Lite before versions 1.15.4, 2.0.3, 2.1.2, 2.2.1 and 2.3.1, saved models in the flatbuffer format use a double indexing scheme: a model has a set of subgraphs, each subgraph has a set of operators and each operator has a set of input/output tensors. The flatbuffer format uses indices f...
CVE-2020-15212
PUBLISHED: 2020-09-25
In TensorFlow Lite before versions 2.2.1 and 2.3.1, models using segment sum can trigger writes outside of bounds of heap allocated buffers by inserting negative elements in the segment ids tensor. Users having access to `segment_ids_data` can alter `output_index` and then write to outside of `outpu...
