APT 101: Understanding Advanced Persistent Threats

Every day there’s a new headline about a ransomware attack, data stolen from a company, or another “zero-day vulnerability” that is being exploited. But who is carrying out these attacks, why are they doing it, and how? Is your company at risk?

This 60-minute discussion with Katie Dodson from Hive Systems will walk you through the basics of Advanced Persistent Threats, touching on both nation-state supported and cyber criminal hackers and answering questions like:
❯ What are these hackers trying to steal from me and my company?
❯ What are the motives behind their attacks?
❯ How are they carrying out these attacks and how can I recognize one before it’s too late?

Understanding the motives and ways that Advanced Persistent Threats carry out their attacks is critical for implementing security measures and protecting your company’s data. This discussion draws on Katie’s years of experience in cyber threat intelligence for the Department of Defense, and will cover some of the more prevalent Advanced Persistent Threats, their motives, and the common vectors used to carry out their attacks.
