CERT in cooperation with USAL, has published its first analytical study on cyber-attacks in Lebanon’s cyberspace

The  Lebanese Cybersecurity Empowering Research Team (CERT), in cooperation with the Lebanese University of Sciences and Arts (USAL), has published its first analytical study on cyber-attacks in Lebanon’s cyberspace. This study aims to reveal the extent of the breaches that information systems are exposed to in the various Lebanese sectors, and on an ongoing basis, in addition to the sources of these breaches.
The study collected and analyzed penetration data for a sample of 10 services spread across many digital information systems in Lebanon. The study used the technology of honeypots, which are programs through which network hackers or those trying to penetrate them are hunted. The analytics showed that within 21 days more than 2,500,000 attacks had been performed, which threatens the loss of data of systems that use thes unpatched services. This leads to a result that the perimeter is exposed to the whole world and any existing vulnerability is actually known to thousands of attackers.  .
The conclusion of this study is  to demonstrate how threat actors are very active in the lebanese cyberspace and how system and application owners within the Lebanese perimeter scope should benefit from the analysis results to improve their security plans to assure continuous system patching, limit open ports, monitor unsolicited traffic reported by their monitoring systems, and build a strong identification & Authentication mechanism.
The study is available at https://lebanoncert.org/ar/blog/attacks_study
