Leveraging the Power of Cyber Threat Adversary Infrastructure

Why Is Understanding Adversary Infrastructure so Critical?

Cybercriminals deploy a sophisticated blend of assets—servers, domains, IP addresses, and digital elements—as the “critical infrastructure” of their malicious activities. Every attack, no matter how it infiltrates an organization, relies on communication out to its “command-and-control (C2),” which is integral to lateral movement, privilege escalation, data exfiltration, and encryption.

This infrastructure must be set up in advance of an attack, so the ability to detect and counter this gives organizations a proactive jump on effectively stopping cyberattacks before they can do any damage.

The ability to detect and counter cybercriminal, or adversary, infrastructure in your network gives organizations a proactive jump on effectively stopping cyberattacks before they can do any damage.

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.
