In this white paper, they explore why people are the biggest vulnerability for most organizations, and whether it’s possible to ‘patch’ this vulnerability.

This Threat Report takes a look at some of the events of spring 2017. Specifically, it looks at criminal campaigns that leveraged exploits exposed by the Shadow Brokers, threat groups that used social media profiles, a threat group that attacked supply chains of large corporations, quickly evicting threat actors from a compromised environment.

This report discusses two key topics: 1) An Intel Security survey that found that awareness was very high and, 97% of those interviewed, said that sharing cyber intelligence was valuable and 2) They explore the Adwind Java-based Trojan. It also includes the usual key points about predictions and threat summaries.

From the report, “Today, there are a great many detection (identification and tracking) tools. However, there is not enough emphasis on trapping, resulting in a lack of effective trapping tools and techniques. An effective technique for automating the tracking of cyber attackers and, once found, trapping them, is deception. When implemented well, deception can automate and scale the hunting process, accurately identifying and tracking attackers, and trapping them to protect valuable assets while reducing valuable human resources in this never-ending competition of wits.”
