WannaCry five years on: Revisiting my revelation
By Tony Fergusson, CISO - EMEA
Five years ago, on Friday, May 12th, 2017, I had an epiphany.

Back then, I was an IT architect in Copenhagen for a large multinational energy company. I was working from home when the WannaCry ransomware variant, which weaponized a stolen NSA exploit known as EternalBlue, began its vicious rampage through hundreds of thousands of devices in more than 150 countries.

It closed hospitals in Great Britain, banks in Russia, a German railway, and a Spanish telecom before a researcher discovered its kill switch. It shook the world’s understanding of its cybersecurity in only a few hours.

It also changed the way I thought about network security forever.

As companies embrace cloud and mobility, we are discovering that the decades-old approaches to networking and security simply don’t meet today’s business demands. A new approach is needed: one based upon zero trust. To fully understand the value that zero trust can provide, IT leaders need to clearly understand the weaknesses of perimeter-based network security infrastructures in our modern world, and how the zero trust architecture is a fundamentally different approach to enterprise security.

FIDO, short for "fast identity online," is a standard intended to make user authentication simpler and stronger without relying on passwords. FIDO requires a simple user gesture, like a biometric verification or tapping on a device to enroll, in order to unlock cryptographic keys on a device. Recently, Apple, Google, and Microsoft recently announced plans to expand support for multi-device FIDO credentials.

Although cloud-driven attacks like ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) dominate headlines, social engineering remains a proven and effective way to gain a foothold on a network. New research from ThreatLabZ drives home the importance of defending against phishing attacks as a preferred method for compromising organizations, with phishing rates rising a startling 29% from 2020 to 2021.

David Chou was one of the early pioneers of cloud computing at Microsoft. He used diagrams to articulate the different services models available in the cloud compared to traditional on-premise responsibilities. These concepts were first envisioned between 2008 and 2010. A lot has happened in cloud computing since then, and I thought it would be interesting to revisit this model armed with the hindsight of the last 10 years (and through a security lens).
