NASA Lost Classified Data

Network visibility could have prevented this attack 

Recently, NASA's network was breached and classified secrets were stolen. The attacker entered the network through a connected, unsecured IoT device which was unseen by NASA's network administrators.

The device, a Raspberry Pi, was used to run tests. Once compromised, the attacker was able to remain in the network for 10 months before being discovered. A post-breach network audit was conducted, and several other, unknown devices were discovered in the network. 

NASA administrators were unable to identify these devices in their network, a common problem for IT departments worldwide. The ability to visualize the network - to identify devices connected, at any time, as well as their communications - is essential to identifying hidden devices, especially if they begin acting strangely. 

 

NASA's team suffered from:

  • The lack of ability to identify devices
    in the network
  • Inadequate staffing
  • Insecure IoT devices installed by employees

NASA's problems may be yours

  • Traditional security tools are ineffective against advanced, unknown threats.
  • Hidden devices, communications, and misconfigurations are unnoticed, which create risks.
  • Limited budgets and understaffed teams leave attacks unnoticed and solutions in short supply.
  • Using existing infrastructure against advanced attacks is hard to do efficiently.
