Arsenal Recon, digital forensics experts building powerful tools which improve the analysis of electronic evidence, announced new subscription-based licensing today. Arsenal’s new licensing significantly reduces the barrier to entry for corporate, law enforcement, and military digital forensics experts to leverage tools including Hibernation Recon, Registry Recon, and Arsenal Image Mounter.

Why should digital forensics experts use Arsenal’s tools?
Arsenal’s digital forensics tools are designed to exploit electronic evidence in powerful and unique ways – ways in which other solutions, both open source and commercial, do not. Arsenal President Mark Spencer explains how the tools have been battle tested: “Our tools have been used in some of the highest-profile cases on this planet with the highest of stakes – from the Boston Marathon Bombing to the Turkish Sledgehammer trial. Digital forensics experts who arm themselves with Arsenal’s tools are able to gain insight into electronic evidence that was not possible before.” Spencer also added “New versions of our tools are being released today in concert with our subscription-based licensing. Legacy licenses purchased by our existing customers will of course continue to work as expected.”

What are the benefits of the new subscription-based licensing?

• Enables the professional functionality of all Arsenal tools with a single license
• Significantly lowers the barrier to entry in terms of cost (just $49/month)
• Supports locking-in a low monthly price well into the future
• Always provides the latest versions (the hassle of SMS is eliminated)

What are people saying about Arsenal’s tools?
“Hibernation Recon has become DoD’s must-have tool for extracting digital artifacts from Windows hibernation files. Not only does Hibernation Recon properly reconstruct active memory for all versions of Windows when other tools fail, it is the only tool that extracts various types of ‘slack space,’ which has yielded critical forensic artifacts for DoD’s foreign intelligence mission that could not have been obtained any other way.”
— United States Department of Defense

About Arsenal Recon
Our team is led by Mark Spencer, whose philosophy is “Don’t settle for the easy way, strive for the right way.” We are passionate about computer forensics and dedicated to the preservation and analysis of electronic evidence using the most powerful technologies available. In our quest to dig deeper, we grew tired of waiting for solutions to meet our needs – so we began building our own.

Government communications agency HMGCC, the MoD, BAE Systems and Cyber Security Challenge UK arranged a mock cyber-attack on Internet of Things (IoT) connected soldiers in the field at the MoD’s Defence Cyber School, part of the Defence Academy, Shrivenham. Twenty-four cyber amateurs battled against a fictitious hacktivist group to avert an attack on a live test run of experimental military communications equipment as part of the MoD’s Future Soldier Vision.

The competition was the latest face-to-face semi-final round in Cyber Security Challenge UK’s 2017 series of competitions, designed to unearth and nurture the UK’s best cyber security talent and help them gain careers in the industry. The 24 competitors were selected from a series of gruelling online qualifying rounds on the Challenge’s CyPhinx (Play on Demand) system.

All its competitions are designed to reflect potential real-life cyber security scenarios. This competition comes in the wake of militaries becoming increasingly wary of cyber-attack. In October 2016, the Defence Secretary Michael Fallon announced that the Government will invest up to £265m to boost the defence of military cyber systems, highlighting the scale of the threat.

The scenario, created by cyber specialists from HMGCC, saw contestants use their cyber security skills to safeguard the experimental soldier geo-tracking technology. Midway through the test, a nefarious hacktivist group hijacked the system using a man-in-the-middle attack, a sophisticated type of cyber-attack in which attackers intercept and manipulate communications between two parties without detection. The team lost contact with the soldiers, and raced against the clock to remediate the situation.

Candidates were ordered to report to military chiefs to explain why contact was lost, and had to advise on how to respond within international legal guidelines. This tested their legal knowledge, while side tasks such as puzzles and ciphers hidden around the military site tested their cryptography and problem-solving skills.

The winning team was team Challenger 2, Andy Grabowski, Caroline Haigh and Io Swift Wolf.

The 12 candidates that will progress to Masterclass in November are: Mark Brown, Michael Carr, Chris Hatton, Zul Sadiq, David Baker, David Orelowitz, Daniel Nash, Phillip Whitehead, Joshua Green, Peter Abay, Caroline Haigh, Edward Ouzman who is just 15 year’s old!

Cyber specialists from government and industry assessed the contestants to rank their performance and suitability for careers in the industry. The top performers have been invited to the Masterclass grand final in November where they could be offered highly lucrative jobs that average around £60,000 per year.

(ISC)², the world’s largest independent body of information security professionals, predicts a shortfall of 1.8 million workers by 2022 if current employment trends continue and it is critical that this is addressed in order to protect our country’s infrastructure. It also identified a critical need to hire more young people into the profession.

Nigel Harrison, acting Chief Executive of Cyber Security Challenge UK said:

“Cybercrime affects all organisations, whether that’s corporations, charities or even the military. Our events represent the scenarios that cyber security experts in the field could experience on a day-to-day basis, and the types of attacks they could come up against. With a widening skills gap affecting organisations’ abilities to protect themselves, events like these provide the perfect opportunity for new talent to shine in front of prospective employers.”

An HMGCC spokesperson said:

“Our work involves the design and delivery of communication systems and technical solutions to protect national security at home and overseas, and finding people with the capabilities to keep delivering this is paramount. Through initiatives such as the Cyber Security Challenge UK, we can watch the future of the industry in action, and this gives us so much confidence as we see first-hand the talent that is available to us and the country as a whole. Our customers are various Government bodies, and we’re growing fast thanks to their increasing demand for our services. Now we need even more fresh talent on board.”

Paul Bleackley, Cyber Education Manager, Defence Academy of the UK said:

“Cyber security is a huge area of focus for the UK military now, and bolstering our cyber capability is crucial for national security. We’re supporting this competition to help find and develop the cyber security talent out there and encourage them into roles that protect the country from the current and future threats.”

Cathy Sutherland, Director, National Security, BAE Systems said:

“Training, real-life experience and education are essential to develop future cyber security professionals. Working on programmes such as this puts us at the heart of finding the best talent, helping organisations stay safe from digital threats.”

Worldwide spending on information security products and services will reach $86.4 billion in 2017, an increase of 7 per cent over 2016, with spending expected to grow to $93 billion in 2018, according to the latest forecast from Gartner, Inc.

Within the infrastructure protection segment, Gartner forecasts fast growth in the security testing market (albeit from a small base) due to continued data breaches and growing demands for application security testing as part of DevOps. Spending on emerging application security testing tools, particularly interactive application security testing (IAST), will contribute to the growth of this segment through 2021.

Security services will continue to be the fastest growing segment, especially IT outsourcing, consulting and implementation services. However, hardware support services will see growth slowing, due to the adoption of virtual appliances, public cloud and software as a service (SaaS) editions of security solutions, which reduces the need for attached hardware support overall.

“Rising awareness among CEOs and boards of directors about the business impact of security incidents and an evolving regulatory landscape have led to continued spending on security products and services,” said Sid Deshpande, principal research analyst at Gartner.

“However, improving security is not just about spending on new technologies. As seen in the recent spate of global security incidents, doing the basics right has never been more important. Organisations can improve their security posture significantly just by addressing basic security and risk related hygiene elements like threat centric vulnerability management, centralised log management, internal network segmentation, backups and system hardening,” said Mr Deshpande.

Other assumptions behind Gartner’s latest information security market forecast include:

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has created renewed interest, and will drive 65 per cent of data loss prevention buying decisions today through 2018.

The GDPR has caused an overall panic and unease among organisations in Europe, but will also have a global effect since multinationals will also need to adhere to the new law. While organisations are working toward strengthening their knowledge of the regulation, those with some form of data loss prevention (DLP) already implemented are determining what additional capabilities they need to invest in (specifically, integrated DLP such as data classification, data masking and data discovery). In addition, organisations that do not already have strong DLP in place are looking to increase their capabilities.

By 2020, 40 per cent of all managed security service (MSS) contracts will be bundled with other security services and broader IT outsourcing (ITO) projects, up from 20 per cent today.

To deal with the complexity of designing, building and operating a mature security programme in a short space of time, many large organisations are looking to security consulting and ITO providers that offer customizable delivery components that are sold with the MSS. As ITO providers and security consulting firms improve the maturity of the MSS they offer, customers will have a much broader range of bundling and service packaging options through which to consume MSS offerings. The large contract sizes associated with ITO and security outsourcing deals will drive significant growth for the MSS market through 2020.

By 2021, more than 80 per cent of large businesses in China will deploy network security equipment from a local vendor.

China’s recently approved cybersecurity law will contribute to further displacement of US-manufactured network security products with local Chinese vendors. Despite an increase of 24 per cent in 2016, Gartner expects end-user spending growth in Asia/Pacific to return to single-digit yearly growth from 2018 onward, as a result of a decline in average selling prices, due to the more competitive pricing of Chinese solutions.

More detailed analysis is available to Gartner clients in “Forecast Analysis: Information Security, Worldwide, 1Q17 Update” and “It’s Time to Align Your Vulnerability Management Priorities With the Biggest Threats.”
