Understanding the Attacker/Defender Lifecycle

Key Learning Points

  1. Understand the different adversaries and their motives
  2. Learn about the latest Tactics Techniques and Procedures of the adversaries.

  4. Using the anatomy of an attack as a framework for understanding your strengths and weaknesses
  5. Learn about the tightly woven lifecycle between the attacker and defender

Level: Basic/Intermediate

As company networks continue to grow in size and volume, cyber-attacks also continue to grow in sophistication which makes it very difficult for organizations to defend their critical assets, often times merely reacting to the threats as they occur.  One report states that 78% of large organizations were attacked by an unauthorized outsider in the last year.  We are losing the cyber battle.

To successfully defend our cyber assets whether from a Nation State or Organized Crime companies need to understand the attacker and defender lifecycle.  A proper defensive posture requires a company to have an understanding of their adversaries, of the battlefield and of their own strengths and weaknesses. This presentation will break down the phases of the attacker and defender life cycle with an overview of the adversary’s tactics, techniques and procedures which are then synthesized with a real world use case.
