EXEC SUMMARY –

• DEFENDERS ARE INCREASINGLY BEING OVERRUN BOTH BY EVENTS GENERATED BY ORDINARY

CYBERCRIME AND BY ADVANCED, TARGETED ATTACKS FROM SOPHISTICATED ADVERSARIES.

• INCREASED COMPLEXITY AND FREQUENCY OF ATTACKS, COMBINED WITH REDUCED EFFECTIVENESS OF

PREVENTATIVE CONTROLS, INCREASES THE NEED FOR ENTERPRISE-SCALE SECURITY INCIDENT RESPONSE

• THREAT INTELLIGENCE AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT OF INCIDENT RESPONSE PROCESSES ARE

NEEDED BY ENTERPRISES TO REDUCE THE EFFORT REQUIRED IN CONTAINING LOSSES AND RISKS.

WHAT DO I MEAN BY . . . .

•DETERMINED ATTACKERS

•BETTER INTELLIGENCE

•BETTER PREPARED

WHAT DO I MEAN BY DETERMINED ATTACKER

• GET IN PAST YOUR PREVENTATIVE DEFENCES

• STEAL SOME VALID CREDENTIALS

• REMOVE TOOLS USED IN GETTING IN

• FIND SOME REMOTE ACCESS AND USE VALID CREDENTIALS

• EXPLORE THE ENVIRONMENT

• STEAL DATA – RINSE AND REPEAT
