Cognitive Security – Anatomy of Advanced Persistent Threats

Graphic - Cognitive Security, Anatomy of Advanced Persistent Threats (title)

Synopsis

“Advanced Persistent Threats”, or APTs, involve low-level reconnaissance and exploitation of security perimeters in order to collectively launch a targeted & prolonged attack. The goal is to gain maximum control into the target organization. APTs pose serious concerns to a security management team, especially as APT tool-kits become commercially and globally available. Today’s threats involve polymorphic malware and other techniques that are designed to evade traditional security measures. Best-in-class security solutions now require controls that do not rely on signature-based detection, since APTs are “signature-aware”, and designed to bypass traditional security layers.  New methods are needed to combat these new threats such as Behavioral Analysis. Network Behavior Analysis proactively detects and blocks suspicious behavior before significant damage can be done by the perpetrator. This presentation provides some valuable statistics in the growing threat of APTs.

    And I do have 2 questions for you if it’s allright.

    left by brain dead people? 😛 And, if you are posting on other
    social sites, I’d like to follow anything fresh you have to post.

    • maseczki domowe, thanks for your comment. I don’t understand your first question. But on the other part, my LinkedIn page is: cz.linkedin.com/in/gabrieldusil, and my twitter is: dusilg. But all of my security posts are at dusil.com, so you are at the right place. I have since moved on from the Internet Security space, where I spent 12 years. I’m now concentrating on the Entertainment & Media Industry in my blog, moving forward. Hope that helps to answer your question.
