2017: China's first robot firewall launched a powerful attack to break the curse of black production and enhance the security future of online business!

[[188847]]

The rise of the digital economy has made people see the power of online business to reshape the business ecosystem, and has also triggered the destruction of the digital economy by the black industry. For key industries where security is paramount, such as finance, telecommunications, medical care, and payment, the security of online business directly restricts the speed at which companies embrace the digital process. In 2017, facing the global digital wave, how should companies that have already started and planned to embrace the digital process deal with the erosion of the black industry? What measures should be taken to ensure that the risky online business can truly take off safely? Should we continue to follow the traditional path of security, mend the fold after the sheep have been lost, and remedy the situation afterwards; or should we take a different approach and use robot firewalls to cleverly set up a puzzle? In short, before giving a response strategy, let us first understand the shocking nature of the black industry.

From the "agricultural era" to the "information economy", the dark forces are launching an invasion like a flood and a beast

There is a vivid metaphor that the more prosperous the online business is in people's sight, the larger the black industry is under their sight. This is not alarmist. Digitalization has accelerated the dissemination and exchange of information, changed the traditional business model, and facilitated people's lives; at the same time, it has also derived a well-organized and commercially mature black industry chain. The underground black industry is following the development trajectory of human historical economy and developing rapidly, creating an underground network black industry economy of more than 400 billion US dollars per year. Human economic development can be divided into three periods: agricultural economy, industrial economy and information economy. The black industry also follows the same economic development model and develops rapidly. In less than 50 years, it has completed the economic development process of more than 10,000 years of mankind:

The era of the black industry's agricultural economy: hackers mainly use simple tools written manually or by themselves to attack, and the targets and scope of the attacks are extremely limited. They mainly use text descriptions and face-to-face communication, focusing on technical exchanges;

The industrial economy era of black production: a large number of automated tools have emerged, the threshold for attack has been greatly reduced, and communication is mainly based on tools and source code. Hackers have begun to trade attack tools on the black market;

In the information economy era of black industries, the attack methods have changed to using stolen legitimate accounts to simulate the operation behaviors of legitimate users, bypass the detection of security mechanisms, carry out attacks and fraud, and the stolen account passwords and personal information have begun to be traded in large quantities on the black market.

The black industry and online security are an ever-lasting game process, and have long been in an unequal state. Hackers only need to spend a small amount of money to cause great damage to the online business of enterprises. Entering the information economy era, although enterprises continue to invest in the security of online businesses, they continue to encounter various emerging threats that change with each passing day. As hacker attack methods begin to shift to fraud attacks disguised as normal transactions, attacks no longer have obvious malicious characteristics, and the benefits brought to enterprises by traditional information security mechanisms continue to decline.

Ruishu Information has noticed that black market attacks are shifting from exploiting traditional application vulnerabilities to emerging attacks using automated tools. Hackers are constantly seeking economic benefits through business fraud, data leakage, and terminal threats.

Business fraud: business fraud disguised as normal transactions, such as credit card fraud, cash withdrawal, freeloading, scalper purchases, fake orders, SMS bombing and other business frauds that violate business logic.

Data leakage: Data leakage attacks that steal legitimate accounts, emerging data leakage attacks such as database collision, crawlers, sensitive data speculation, and intranet theft.

Terminal threats: Terminal security threats such as impersonating legitimate requests, packaged Trojans impersonating legitimate applications, illegal third-party applications, and man-in-the-middle attacks.

Breaking the curse of illegal production, robot firewall helps online business break through security

With the rapid development of the digital economy, automated attacks are also coming like a flood. In the face of waves of automated attacks from hackers, traditional security technologies based on attack characteristics and behavioral rules are losing ground and are completely helpless. Ruishu Information's latest launch of the first domestic robot firewall is precisely the necessary equipment to deal with automated attacks, prevent the black industry chain from destroying and seizing the online business of enterprises, and ensure the safe operation of online business. To break the curse of the black industry and protect the digital economy, it is urgent to help enterprises break through the online business security from five aspects: blocking automated attacks, protecting the business layer, application layer and access terminals.

Initiative 1: Cleverly set up a puzzle and use robot firewalls to proactively block automated attacks

The robot firewall adopts subversive dynamic change technology, which can effectively prevent automated attacks that exploit unknown vulnerabilities, violate logical business operations and simulate legal operations. It changes the passive and lagging situation of traditional security technology, frees users from the state of constantly updating attack signature codes, and makes the cost of malicious attacks by hackers higher and the attacks more difficult. It can completely dynamically protect the "whole process" of online transactions, making it impossible for attackers to predict the behavior of any link in the transaction process and difficult to launch automated attacks.

According to Ruishu security experts, the robot firewall can effectively fight against various automated threats including "distributed collaborative automated attacks" and man-in-the-middle attacks through hijacking IoT devices. It provides active security protection for various Web and mobile applications, making it difficult for attackers to find their targets and where to start, thereby greatly increasing the difficulty of attacks and ensuring the security of online businesses.

Initiative 2: Insight into the future and comprehensively improve the anti-fraud capabilities of the business layer, application layer, and access terminals

In addition to fraud at the business level, fraud in cyberspace may also be committed by stealing website data, misleading users to use illegal third-party applications, or conducting man-in-the-middle attacks on the network. Only by comprehensively covering the business layer, application layer, and access terminals in the online business transaction process can we effectively solve various emerging fraud threats in cyberspace.

Ruishu experts suggest that enterprises can fully enable the protection capabilities of robot firewalls against automated threats when deploying security strategies. At the business level, they can verify risky users to identify and combat batch registration and cheating in real time. At the application level, they can prevent malicious logins, detect and prevent risks such as brute force cracking and database collisions in the login process in real time, and protect user information from being leaked. At the access terminal, they can use payment protection to detect abnormal situations in payment, transfer, withdrawal and other payment processes in real time to prevent the risk of stolen card payment.

Initiative 3: Take the initiative to provide full security protection for mobile applications from terminals, networks to servers

Mobile applications have become the main source of traffic for many websites, and the transaction volume of mobile applications is also rising sharply. However, the existing mobile application security protection mechanisms are focused on preventing mobile applications from being reversed or repackaged. However, this passive protection is almost powerless to protect mobile application servers.

Ruishu Information's robot firewall is a security vendor that can provide enterprises with full-process mobile application protection from terminals, networks to servers. In addition to actively preventing applications from being reversed or repackaged, it can also effectively prevent illegal third-party applications from stealing user information, and can more effectively prevent malicious attacks on mobile application servers such as database collisions, card theft, purchases, cash withdrawals, crawlers and vulnerability scanning.

Initiative 4: Make threats visible and be good at using terminal perception and threat intelligence to conduct analysis and management

Intelligence management plays an increasingly important role in decision-making to ensure the security of online business. Enterprise security personnel rely on intelligence analysis to ensure the implementation of security defense. Cyber ​​threat intelligence is increasingly used to guide how to upgrade defense, so more and more enterprises need to deploy cyber threat intelligence solutions to ensure the security of online business. Terminal perception technology that collects relevant information such as fingerprints, operating environment, and operating behavior of source terminals can help enterprises further determine the security and reliability of source terminals, and analyze suspicious source terminals through traffic and log characteristics of security equipment.

The dynamic security technology used by the Ruishu Robot Firewall itself has the ability to fight against automated attacks. It does not rely entirely on risk intelligence to block them, but rather conducts an overall study and judgment of the abnormal behavior of the attack source before deciding on the countermeasures to be adopted. The risk intelligence collected and provided by the Ruishu Cloud Dynamic Security Early Warning Center is mainly used for threat insight and trend prediction, allowing security managers to analyze the overall threat situation from a global perspective. In addition, in addition to sensing the terminal, Ruishu's dynamic perception technology also senses business logic and data integrity, which can effectively protect against illegal access and man-in-the-middle attacks. Ruishu dynamic security can effectively identify and defend against "distributed collaborative automated attacks" through its own anti-automated attack capabilities. After the identified automated attack sources are exchanged through risk intelligence, the threat situation of "distributed collaborative automated attacks" can be quickly grasped.

Initiative 5: Gathering forces to build a healthy ecosystem to fight against illegal production

Fighting against the black industry is not something that can be achieved by unilateral forces such as a certain person or a certain enterprise. An ecological model of industry co-governance must be adopted. The reason why the black industry can accurately profile the online business of enterprises is that they have obtained various black industry databases through different channels. Government websites and large commercial websites were hacked and shared in the hacker circle. After data cleaning, a huge black industry database was formed. Only with the concerted efforts of many institutions such as regulators, operators, banks, governments, network service providers, e-commerce, and security vendors, and with the help of emerging technologies such as big data and dynamic security, can data be connected, security capabilities can be shared, and a virtuous cycle against the black industry can be formed.

"The Art of War by Sun Tzu: The Real and the False" states: "A good attacker makes the enemy unaware of where he is defending; a good defender makes the enemy unaware of where he is attacking." Ruishu Information's "dynamic security" is the best embodiment of this sentence in information security offense and defense. In the frontline battle against hackers and black industries, Ruishu Information hopes to use leading robot firewall technology to assist enterprises in reversing the current offensive and defensive situation, helping enterprises to effectively prevent online business risks while enjoying the high efficiency and high growth brought by informatization, accelerate enterprise development, and help enterprises' digital economy take off safely!
