It was carved and inscribed with a royal decree by the ruling king of Egypt more than 1900 years earlier. What&#8217;s unique about the stone is the exact same decree was inscribed on it three times and in three different languages: ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, demotic script (Arabic letters) and ancient Greek. The Rosetta Stone enabled modern scholars to partially decipher previously untranslatable texts in ancient languages. It also represented the necessary key for translating from one language to another.<br\/><br\/>In today&#8217;s mission of defending the IT enterprise from cyberattacks, we need a cyber version of the Rosetta Stone. Our IT devices speak different languages and store or send data in their own proprietary formats. The raw cyber data that our systems collect contains a significant amount of metadata (or information about the data) that should be leveraged by our cyber analysts. Cyber defenders need to start thinking about implementing their own cyber Rosetta Stone to translate this metadata into something our cyber analysts and cyber analytic tools can begin to understand.<br\/><br\/>To better understand metadata takes a simple analogy. Consider the mail you receive through your postal carrier. While the letter inside the envelope contains the actual information that you are supposed to read, metadata is the additional information that you could derive from the envelope of letter such as: What type of envelope did it come in? Who is it from? Who is it addressed to? Which post office did it go through? What type of postage was used? When was the letter postmarked, and where? When did it arrive to my house? Is the envelope hand addressed or typed? <br\/><br\/>In the cyber world, additional information about the data or metadata is very useful in understanding how your adversaries are attacking your environment. The process of creating a commonly understood set of metadata from your cyber data and adding additional descriptive information about it is called fusion.<br\/><br\/>Technically speaking, the fusion of cyber data is an automated process for taking the ingested raw data and linking it with the associated metadata through a process of normalization and enrichment. The raw data when combined or fused with additional information that describes the data, enables your systems and cyber analysts to form logical relationships between data from different sources or data created from different cyber events. The logical relationships enable your analysts to better discover potentially malicious cyber events within your enterprise. Additionally, the fusion of the data provides the ability to label the cyber data to support any release handling constraints based on privacy, security and other policies. <br\/><br\/>So, why do you need the cyber equivalent of a Rosetta stone? Cyberattacks operate at the speed of light \u2013 or at least the speed of electrons. An intelligence-driven cyberdefense strategy implements measures to quickly recognize attacks or identifies malicious probing of your network and alerts the analysts or other devices within your enterprise in an automated manner. <br\/><br\/>Using an automated fusion process results in dramatic reductions in the time between ingest and availability of data for analysis. Unlike the current state where your cyber data exists in silos and your analysts typically perform a series of manual searches across a number of data silos. An automated ability to fuse data streamlines those activities that are time consuming and tedious into a repeatable process saving analysts time and providing consistency. In addition, the process of data fusion acts as an accelerator that results in faster response time and a better cyber analyst experience as a result of both the fusion processing performed ahead of time and the optimization for data access.<br\/><br\/>So how do we get all of our devices and analysts to use a common language or ontology that enables data fusion? Does the equivalent of a cyber Rosetta Stone exist today? Several common language frameworks for cyber-information have been evolving over the past several years. Examples of common frameworks that were developed with community input include TAXII and STIX. The frameworks are funded by DHS, managed by Mitre Corporation and are free for public use. These and other related efforts enable the community collaboration and information sharing of cyber threat information by creating the cyber equivalent of a Rosetta Stone.<br\/><br\/>Today, the Rosetta Stone that was once used to decipher multiple ancient languages is on display at the British Museum in London. The cyber equivalent of a Rosetta Stone is still evolving through the combination of grassroots contributions by individuals and corporate commitment to adopt a common language framework for cyber events. The responsibility lies with each of us to continue to assist in the definition, development and adoption of standardized languages or ontologies that represent cyber threats so our enterprise systems have the opportunity to automatically respond to cyber events at the speed of light. <br\/><br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IT devices speak different languages and store or
