Cyber threats 2.24. Access. Access is crucial to the success of any cyber attack and can be obtained in three ways: physical, close and remote. a. Physical access is the ability to gain direct access to a computer or network, such as by connecting a USB device directly to a computer. Access can be gained in a number of ways, for example, posing as public officials or couriers delivering a package, or by tailgating staff. Once in the premises, intruders can interfere with ICT by installing software, such as keystroke loggers and remote access hardware to gain data from, or future access to, systems. b. Close access is the ability to access to a computer or network from deployed platforms, people and equipment operating within the area of that network but do not have physical access. Typically this could be through use of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as connecting via Wi-Fi. Alternatively, close access can be achieved by an adversary through ‘baiting’. 36 c. Remote access is the ability to get access to a computer or a network from external locations (physical and virtual) that may be considered outside of that network. If we can reduce the opportunities of an adversary to access to our cyberspace, then we can mitigate the success of potential attacks. 2.25. Advanced persistent threat. An advanced persistent threat (APT) is a network attack in which an unauthorised person gains access to a network and stays there undetected for a long period of time. The intention of an advanced persistent threat attack is to steal data rather than to cause damage to the network or organisation. 2.26. Supply chain corruption. Every effort should be made to verify the trusted supply of all components, including hardware and software, for Defence capabilities. However, unscrupulous and/or malicious suppliers may interfere with the supply chain resulting in untrusted or unaccredited equipment being delivered, which may not function properly, safely, 36 For more information, see social engineering techniques described on page 31. 34 Cyber Primer (2nd Edition)
Cyber threats and/or securely. Such interference can result in malware or maliciously modified hardware – such as a ‘backdoor’ – being embedded in newly delivered or recently repaired electronic equipment. Cyber Primer (2nd Edition) 35
