Using MITRE ATT&CK™ To Identify Advanced Threats: Operation Soft Cell_

LIVE Monday, September 16, 1PM EDT

ABOUT THE WEBINAR_

Released in 2019, the Cybereason Nocturnus team identified an advanced, persistent attack targeting global telecommunications providers, carried out by a threat actor using tools and techniques commonly associated with Chinese-affiliated threat actors such as APT10.  This multi-wave attack focused on obtaining data of specific, high-value targets and resulted in a complete takeover of the network.

MITRE ATT&CK was an important component in our investigation, used to assist in detection, scope, attribution, and communication of the attack. Further, the use of MITRE ATT&CK has allowed other organizations to more easily apply this intel to their security operations, to prevent from being affected by this threat. 

Join Israel Barak, CISO at Cybereason, and Katie Nickels, ATT&CK Threat Intelligence Lead at MITRE, to learn about how to operationalize MITRE ATT&CK threat intelligence to defend your organization.
