Leveraging the Power of Cyber Threat Adversary Infrastructure
Leveraging the Power of Cyber Threat Adversary Infrastructure
The key to detecting and blocking sophisticated cyber threats is understanding cyber threat adversary infrastructure and its pivotal role in safeguarding your organization.
Why Is Understanding Adversary Infrastructure So Crucial?
Cybercriminals deploy a sophisticated blend of assets—servers, domains, IP addresses, and digital elements—as the backbone of their malicious activities. Every attack, no matter how it infiltrates an organization, relies on communication with this adversary infrastructure. This connection is integral to lateral movement, privilege escalation, data exfiltration, and encryption, making it the Achilles' heel of cyberattacks.
Identifying and focusing on adversary infrastructure can be a game-changer for your organization's security strategy. Why? This infrastructure must be set up in advance of an attack. Detecting and countering this setup gives organizations a proactive jump on effectively stopping cyberattacks.
Key Takeaways:
- 🔍 Proactive Threat Detection: Studying adversary infrastructure allows you to identify and detect potential threats before they have a chance to do damage to your environment.
- 🚀 Incident Response Optimization: Knowledge of adversary infrastructure enables swift and effective incident response. Trace attacks back to their source, gather critical intelligence and shift from a reactive to a proactive approach against bad actors.
- 🔒 Protective DNS and Business Resiliency: Protective DNS (pDNS) is recommended by CISA and the NSA. A pDNS solution, empowered by an advanced understanding of adversary infrastructure, ensures that any undetected attack is swiftly identified and neutralized, driving real-time business resiliency.
