🧑‍🔬𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 In incident response, knowing where to look and what questions a forensic artefact can help answer is key. Each month, we are sharing a short, practical insight into a forensic artefact we’ve found valuable in real investigations. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁: 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝗨𝗔𝗟) 𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗿 When investigating a potential compromise on a Windows Server, understanding which user accounts accessed the system is often critical. However, investigators frequently encounter a barrier: logs may have been cleared by the attacker or retained for too short a time. In this situation, User Access Logging (UAL) comes into play. Introduced in Windows Server 2012, UAL tracks unique client access requests, logging both IP addresses and usernames. Windows stores the UAL in an Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) database located at: C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\Sum A small but powerful artefact that can help shed light on who accessed what and when.

The Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) from the UK National Cyber Security Centre is designed to help assess and improve cyber resilience through accomplishing four core objectives: 1️⃣ Managing security risk 2️⃣ Protecting against cyber attack 3️⃣ Detecting cybersecurity events 4️⃣ Minimizing the impact of incidents As Peter Batchelor, Silverfort, and Elliott Morgan, Trustmarque, explain in the video below, taking an identity-first approach to CAF compliance can help NHS trusts secure every access point, overcome gaps in MFA and PAM, and take meaningful steps forward. Watch the full video on-demand to get practical recommendations for NHS organizations on how to simplify the path to compliance: https://lnkd.in/gqMC2BRD? #CyberAssessmentFramework #NHSCyber #PrivilegedAccessSecurity #MFA #CyberResilience

“The UK’s cyber strategy has lost momentum.” “The UK’s approach to raising national cyber security and resilience looks increasingly timid and lacking in urgency.” “Technology vendors are rarely incentivised to invest in security.” “There have been some success stories worth acknowledging, such as the National Crime Agency’s disruption of the LockBit ransomware group, the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) Act, the Pall Mall Process to limit the proliferation of spyware and the National Cyber Security Centre’s continued global and national leadership on cyber security standards, guidance and technical assurance.” Bravo to Royal United Services Institute for publishing this excellent analysis and call to action by Jamie MacColl & Joseph Jarnecki https://lnkd.in/gEpQZBpN
