Unpicking Lockbit — 22 Cases of Affiliate Tradecraft – 28th February
LockBit is a notorious ransomware scheme that has been targeting thousands of organisations since 2019, using encryption and stolen data as leverage to extort money…
Before SolarWinds, in July 2020, an Atlantic Council feature stated: “Software supply chain attacks are a regular feature of cybersecurity but remain understudied as a tactic of malicious actors and a tool of cyber statecraft”.
Statecraft happens but, the fact remains that non-malicious actors cause the most frequent incidents (91% of breached start with phishing to an unsuspecting person – Deloitte. Jan 2020). With COVID the threat landscape has exponentially increased the opportunity for non-malicious actors to cause breaches, while hackers are using the soft-touch gateways to gain access to supply chains and corporate infrastructure
A panel of experts will discuss vital topics including:
1. The most common sources of attacks, referring to incidents, their implications and lessons learned.
2. Everyone has a role to play, because people are the first line of defence.
3. Economic training not only up-skills competency but develops a culture of cyber awareness and protection.
4. Standards, frameworks and taxonomy are the common foundations in building resilience.
5. Better communication via a common lexicon and cultural interaction between IT and Operations reduces risk and accidents.
