Bridge the gap between threat intelligence and SOC operations. Audit your enterprise detection telemetry across critical ATT&CK techniques, identify observed threat actor groups (LockBit, Volt Typhoon, Scattered Spider), and implement hardened countermeasures.
Adversaries leverage zero-day and unpatched N-day vulnerabilities in Internet-exposed edge infrastructure such as VPN concentrators, firewalls, and web applications to achieve unauthenticated initial access.
Monitor perimeter web application logs for anomalous POST payloads, directory traversal markers (../), and unexpected outbound reverse shells originating from www-data or system processes.
Maintain strict 14-day SLA for CISA KEV disclosures. Place all management interfaces behind Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) with zero open inbound listening ports.
Adversaries send malicious emails, messages, or weaponized attachments to trick corporate employees into revealing credentials or executing initial stage droppers.
Adversaries obtain valid credentials from Redline, Lumma, or Vidar infostealer marketplace logs, or purchase active session cookies to bypass standard password authentication.
Adversaries abuse built-in system shells such as PowerShell, cmd.exe, Bash, Python, or VBScript to execute commands and trigger malicious scripts directly in memory.
Adversaries configure recurring task schedules using schtasks.exe or crontab to execute malicious payloads persistently at system reboot or predefined intervals.
Adversaries inject malicious shellcode into legitimate processes (e.g. svchost.exe, explorer.exe, spoolsv.exe) to elevate privileges and evade process-based security controls.
Adversaries execute scripts to disable endpoint security agents, unload filter drivers via Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD), or clear Windows Event Logs (wevtutil cl).
Adversaries dump plaintext passwords and Kerberos tickets from memory using tools like Mimikatz or abuse ProcDump and comsvcs.dll against the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS).
Adversaries pivot across the internal network by establishing unauthorized SMB / PsExec connections or RDP sessions using compromised domain administrative credentials.
Adversaries communicate with external beacon infrastructure using HTTPS, WebSockets, or DNS tunneling disguised as standard enterprise SaaS traffic.
Adversaries detonate high-speed multithreaded file encryption algorithms (e.g. ChaCha20, AES-256) across network shares and VM hypervisors, appending extortion notes.
Adversaries execute vssadmin.exe delete shadows /all /quiet, bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled No, or wbadmin delete catalog to prevent victims from restoring without paying ransom.
