STRATEGIC CYBER DEFENSE: WHY TIME MATTERS

Strategic Cyber Defense: Why Time Matters

The faster a security incident is dealt with, the lower its costs.

Time is money: it’s an old axiom in business, but it applies equally to cyberattacks. The more time that elapses until an attack is detected and successfully fend off or stopped, the greater the damage is usually.

Extortion by cyber criminals is an acute threat to businesses. The attackers are increasingly using ransom DDoS attacks, in which victims are forced to pay a ransom in order to avoid devastating DDoS attacks on their unprotected infrastructure and thus expensive interruptions in business operations. Attackers, sometimes calling themselves “Armada Collective”, sometimes “Fancy Bear” or currently “Fancy Lazarus”, have been using this approach to attack companies across a variety of industries for several months. With increasing frequency, the Link11 Security Operation Center has had to conduct emergency response operations at companies affected by such Ransom DDoS attacks.

In the pre-recorded webinar, you will learn more about:

• What a DDoS attack is and how such attacks affect a company.
• What the motivation of the attackers are and how an extortion attack works from a technical point of view.
• What the new wave of DDoS extortions by Fancy Lazarus is all about.
• How companies should react in an emergency situation.
• How Link11 & NimbusDDOS can help organizations proactively reduce the risk of DDoS extortion.
