For the last 10 years, we have seen major growth of attacks from Advanced Persistent Threats. In our experience, the majority of these groups are well funded government agencies & organized crime syndicates who have been wreaking havoc across important institutions around the world. As FBI director James Comey said in 2014, “there are two big types of companies in the US – those who’ve been hacked by the Chinese and those who don’t know they have been hacked by the Chinese”. Just two years ago, I wouldn’t have believed this myself. With the recent uptick of attacks against organizations with massive databases containing personal information, more companies than ever are at risk from being compromised. This presentation will cover real-life experiences of several investigations we have done around the world and provide valuable lessons learned on how to detect and protect yourself from these advanced threat actors.
