Adventures in the Underland: Uncommon Hacker’s Persistency Methods and Countermeasures

Online

Persistence is one of the main aspects that hackers pay special attention to during the malware development and attack phase. The goal is very simple: to be as stealthy as possible. Usually, attackers aim to maintain the presence in the target's network by installing malware on various workstations and servers. However, the main challenge for them is that the malicious code needs to be available also after reboot, so the best solution would be to put it in a place that is not discovered by most of the monitoring tools. Sneaky, right? And when this persistency remains, the problems begin, and ransomware comes to action. Since there are so many places on Windows to stay hidden even from well-known monitoring tools, it would be great to become familiar with at least some of them, especially the uncommon ones! During this session, Paula Januszkiewicz, CEO and Founder of CQURE, Microsoft MVP and RD, Cybersecurity expert demonstrates several less common persistence methods we all should be aware of! All the scenarios which will be shown are taken from real life, so don't miss it and leave with suggestions & ideas how to attain the next level of security in your workspaces.

Removing Endpoint Admin Rights from Technical Users: Stopping the Attack While Enabling the User

Online

It's common knowledge that removing local admin rights is one of the most straightforward ways to protect an organization from cyberthreats. Without elevated privileges, threat actors can’t easily (if at all) identify admin accounts that can be used to move laterally and further an attack. In essence, without local admin rights, the endpoint is the end of the line for an attacker. It’s easy to remove local admin rights for end users that are in Marketing or Sales. But once you start trying to remove rights from technical users like development or QA that require more rights than just a local user, it becomes extremely difficult. It’s one of the reasons threat actors target these kinds of users in spear phishing attacks and job-themed social engineering attacks – the assumption is that the victim already has admin rights on the endpoint. So, how can you remove local admin from even the most technical user and still keep them working? In this Real Training for Free session, 4-time Microsoft MVP, Nick Cavalancia takes my seat and first will cover: Why local admin rights are a critical point in a cyberattack What MITRE ATT&CK TTPs rely on having local admin rights Up […]
