SecurID

such attack happened to the security company RSA when their SecurID tokens were compromised. This paper will examine how RSA SecurID token technology works, how the RSA company network was breached, what information was stolen, and the impacts that resulted from the initial attack. RSA is a security division, which specializes in computer and network security, of the parent company known as EMC. The company is most known for their SecurID tokens which are used in two-factor authentication systems

RSA is a division of EMC Corporation that offers security products to businesses and government agencies. RSA’s flagship product is SecurID, a combination of two-factor authentication tokens (hardware and software) and the associated server software used in their implementation. This product aims to deliver secure remote access, including access to critical infrastructure. In 2009, it was estimated RSA had “about 40 million tokens and 250 million mobile software versions deployed in over 25,000 organizations”

The advancement in information technology and the dynamic nature of cyberspace has stimulated the development of technologies that can exploit this domain. This paper researches various emerging technologies that impact the cybersecurity field. The emerging technologies that are discussed in this paper are based on advances in information systems, computing, and security. Each emerging technology that is discussed in this paper is explained thoroughly, including information on its characteristics

Financial Institutes are facing large security challenges as they confront a changing threat landscape, managing the complex password policies and counterstriking the password hacking by social engineering/online tools and the shift towards greater mobility are quite challenging tasks for IT professionals. NIB Bank is the largest foreign bank in Pakistan in terms of its branch network and one of the largest corporate entities of the country with a paid up capital of Rs.103 billion. The Bank through

Other distinctive servers for the management network are a one-time password for example RSA SecurID or Axent Defender server, RADIUS server, etc (Mike, 2007). In order to design and construct a well-secured

is located in Bedford, Masachusetts, United States of America. Encryption and network SecurID Authentication tokens are its major products. In mid March 2011, spear phishing attack exploited an Adobe Flash vulnerability that was not patched at the time, and is considered as one of the worst attacks in 21st century. The RSA immediately reported that information stolen is related to SecurID two factor authentication products. The company has faced criticism of its approach and

attack was such that the hackers took advantage of the Virtual Private Network (VPN) access system that makes it possible for clients to log in remotely through the use of their RSA SecurID hardware tokens. These attackers are said to possess the seeds-factory-encoded random keys that were used by the Lockheed's SecurID hardware fobs, they also possessed the serial numbers and the algorithm that is used to secure the devices making it possible to hack into the system and obtain the customer information

hackers were aware of and took advantage of the Virtual Private Network (VPN) access system that enables the clients to remotely log into the system through the use of their RSA SecurID hardware tokens. The hackers are suspected to have acquired the seeds-factory-encoded random keys that were used by the Lockheed's SecurID hardware fobs, they also had in their possession the serial numbers as well as the algorithm that are used to secure

Avinash Raju Gangaraju Student ID # 545660 Social engineering is defined as wide variety of doing malicious activities successfully through human interactions. Social engineering attacks happen in one or more steps. An intruder first investigates the selected person and gather required information, such as potential points of entry and weak security rules and will proceed with the attack. The attacker proceeds to gain the selected person’s trust and then proceeds with the attack by exploring
