Advanced Persistent Cybercrime: The Convergence of APT

As we continue to talk about the convergence of networking and security, there is a parallel convergence occurring with the threat landscape. APT groups, typically associated with nation states, have also been busy converging their infrastructure and playbooks with cybercriminal groups – and vice versa. This means that cyber crime, which accounts for a majority of attack activity we observe, is shifting left. The focus is on observing and blueprinting intended target in premeditated fashion with more aggressive attack methodologies. This talk will examine how attackers are building their playbooks in 2022, including destructive attacks such as wiper and ‘bricker’ malware that even impacts satellite communications.
