Abstract

The news is seemingly wrought with stories of network and data breaches. Buzzwords abound at a dizzying pace: viruses, malware, and botnets oh my! Then we learn of something a bit more nefarious; the Advanced Persistent Threat (APT). In our discussion, we will explore APT attacks from the incident responder's point of view. We will discuss examples of how the attacks are carried out and, which containment and remediation actions are effective and which are not. The goal is to provide you, the First Responder, with some basic guidelines, tips, and techniques on dealing with APT events.
