Presentation Abstract:
Cyber extortion has reached new proportions, including six-figure ransomware payments. Considering the easy and quick payoff, cybersecurity experts expect these attacks to only increase. But stories made public provide limited knowledge of initial attack vector or details pertaining lateral movements. This session presents real cases of cyber extortion on corporate and high net worth individuals, many conducted by LIFARS Incident Response team, including hacking techniques for full network compromise and deployment of ransomware kits. This session also presents cases that are currently under investigation by the FBI and Secret Service.

- Attendees will have a better understanding in current ransomware landscape, attackers’ initial vectors of compromises, and indicators of compromises
- Attendees can learn lessons based on current incidents and cases that were conducted by Incident Response Expert Team and/or by FBI
- Strategies and tools needed to detect and prepare for ransomware attacks
- How to assess and respond to an incident in a fast and efficient matter
