Phases of a Cyber Attack
Learning Objective: In this module, you will gain an overview of the techniques & controls involved during various phases of a cyber-attack.
- Phase 1 —Reconnaissance: Adversary identifies and selects a target
- Phase 2 —Weaponize: Adversary packages an exploit into a payload designed to execute on the targeted computer/network
- Phase 3 —Deliver: Adversary delivers the payload to the target system
- Phase 4 —Exploit: Adversary code is executed on the target system
- Phase 5 —Install: Adversary installs remote access software that provides a persistent presence within the targeted environment or system
- Phase 6 —Command and Control: Adversary employs remote access mechanisms to establish a command and control channel with the compromised device
- Phase 7 —Act on Objectives: Adversary pursues intended objectives e.g., data exfiltration, lateral movement to other targets
-
Security Processes in practice for Businesses
Learning Objective:In this module we will glance over a variety of such business processes - to appreciate the relation, applicability and practicability of various information/ cyber security and risk management concepts that may be put in place to help the business stay predictable, safer and within a controlled cyber risk profile thereby enabling it to continue chasing its set targets.
