Incident response requires a symbiotic relationship between people, process and technology. Organizations can take several recommended steps to diminish the threat; however, the risk of compromise can never be eliminated. Knowing this, Mandiant recommends that companies focus on improving the cycle time for their incident response process, defining this as a function of the time between initial compromise and threat containment. To this end, metrics play a key role in maturing an organization’s incident response capability.
Cyber threats are constantly evolving, increasing in both sophistication and how they impact victims. In today’s world, you must battle a wide range of adversaries, from hacktivists to state sponsored threats. The most significant of these threats are advanced attackers who carefully plan and execute breaches into victim organizations. These targeted attackers quietly insert themselves into your environment, leveraging legitimate credentials to survey the environment and dig in deeper for extended operations. They can stay hidden for months—or years—all while advancing their mission, be it stealing your data or using your organization’s environment as a way to infiltrate another victim.
IT’S A DAUNTING TASK FOR ANY ORGANIZATION TO FIND, HIRE, TRAIN AND RETAIN THE TALENT IT TAKES TO CREATE A WORLD-CLASS CYBERSECURITY TEAM.
Over 95% of businesses unknowingly host compromised endpoints, despite their use of firewalls, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), antivirus and Web gateways.1 Today’s attacks look new and unknown to signature-based tools because the attacks employ advanced malware and zero-day vulnerabilities. To regain the upper hand against next-generation attacks, enterprises must turn to true next-generation protection: signature-less, proactive and real time. Read on.
There's been a rapid shift from broad, scattershot attacks to advanced target attacks that have had serious consequences for victim organisations. The increased use of spear phishing is directly related to the fact that it works, as traditional security defences simply do not stop these types of attacks. This paper provides a detailed look at how spear phishing is used within advanced attacks and the key capabilities organisations need in order to effectively combat these emerging and evolving threats.
