Reasons to use Suricata for incident response and threat hunting

Modern ransomware has transitioned to a Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) model, with many groups sharing common tactics, techniques, and procedures in their attacks, or TTPs. These TTPs, described in MITRE ATT&CK, are like a glue that binds together multiple diverse teams operating at various levels with different priorities.

The Global Research and Analysis team (GReAT) at Kaspersky analyzed thousands of operations made by the different RaaS groups – and outlined the TTPs that the cybersecurity industry should consider in order to deliver a stronger protection for different organizations.

Join this webcast with Marc Rivero, a senior security researcher at Kaspersky GReAT. Marc will delve into the main TTPs used by modern ransomware groups and shed light on how to analyze them and use in attack detection and prevention.
• Kaspersky’s statistics on ransomware evolution
• Attack workflow using MITRE ATT&CK
• Overview of TTPs used by main ransomware groups
• Q&A session

Be aware of ransomware TTPs: applying MITRE to ransomware campaigns

Digital transformation is the integration of computerized technology into all areas of a business. Organizations of all sizes are fundamentally changing the way they operate and deliver value to their customers. However, it’s not always clear to some business leaders what digital transformation really means. 

As the world continues to embrace sustainable energy solutions, it is becoming imperative to address the growing cybersecurity challenges that accompany this technological shift. Join this webinar Safeguarding the future: cybersecurity risks in alternative energy sources as it focuses on key security concerns related to solar power systems, solar power inverter vulnerabilities in particular, grid management vulnerabilities, and the risks associated with remote load balancing management.

This webinar will shed light on the vulnerabilities that are currently affecting the renewable energy sector, with a particular emphasis on home solar power generation. Cloud-based applications have become a popular choice for managing solar power systems, providing users with seamless control and monitoring capabilities.

Safeguarding the future: cybersecurity risks in alternative energy sources

Not only do cybercriminals make money by committing cybercrime, but they also expand their operations by offering services to individuals without strong technical skills in malware development. This business model is known as Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS), and it operates on various sites of the "shadow" internet, including the Darknet. MaaS generates stable profits, enabling cybercriminals to maintain a team and continuously improve their services to carry out attacks on companies and individual users.

Through our research, we have identified 97 families of malware that have been distributed in the MaaS format – or "by subscription" – over the last seven years. These families include ransomware, various loaders, backdoors, botnets, and infostealers. In this webinar, Alexander Zabrovsky, Digital Footprint Analyst at Kaspersky, will delve into the inner workings of MaaS in the Darknet and address the most relevant issues:

- How did malware become a full-fledged product, and how did the "subscription" model become a new standard for cybercriminals?
- Why has YouTube become one of the key platforms for distributing malware? Who are traffers, and what is their function?
- Which families of malware are mentioned most often in the Darknet, and how does the Darknet services market depend on the news agenda?

Unveiling the Darknet's Malware-as-a-Service model

Cybercriminals tend to be secretive and act without disclosing their identity. However, when it comes to ransomware negotiations, the victim and the attacker have to “meet” face-to-face. Moreover, by the time the two sides meet to discuss the price, the attackers have already gained control of a company’s data or network – that puts the victim in a weak position.

What does it like to negotiate with someone who is trying hard to get a ransom whilst remaining in the dark? What can you expect from such negotiations? In this webcast, Marc Rivero, senior security researcher, GReAT at Kaspersky will observe various tactics used by ransomware groups, explain how the companies are trying to negotiate with these cybercriminals, and what outcome such negotiations may have.

In this webinar, you will learn:
- What Ransomware as a service (RaaS) model is
- What a data leak portal in RaaS terms is
- About ransomware negotiations: stages, means of communication
- What to do if you have been reached by a ransomware group
- Q&A session

Ransomware groups negotiation tactics: what you need to know

The sensitive data stolen from companies during a cyberattack often ends up on darknet markets. With the rise of the cybercrime as a service business model, we observe that not only data obtained from attacks is for sale but also for the information necessary to organize that attack.

Once an attacker gains access to the infrastructure of an organization, they can then sell that access to other advanced cybercriminals, such as ransomware operators. The price for accessing potential victims’ systems is relatively inexpensive when compared to the possible damage to the targeted business. In fact, the average cost for access to a company’s systems lies between the range from $2000 to $4000. Meanwhile, such attacks result in significant financial and reputational losses to the attacked organization and may even cause suspension of work and disruption of business processes. SMBs and enterprises are both key targets of such attacks.

Yuliya Novikova and Sergey Shcherbel, security experts at Kaspersky, shed light on how a company’s data and the information on their systems is sold on darknet markets.
In this webinar you will learn:
- Which types of company data are most widespread on dark markets
- Which criteria cybercriminals use to evaluate the price for organization’s data
- How to keep your data protected

Dark market for corporate data: how cybercriminals sell access to your company

In large companies, the sheer volume of information resources makes their attack surface significantly larger, compared to smaller businesses. Numerous factors contribute to this exposure, including networks spread across various locations that are consolidated into a single infrastructure, mergers and acquisitions with companies possessing lower security levels, outdated hardware and software, and more.

The level of preparedness for a potential incident directly impacts the effectiveness of the response and allows you to mitigate the attack’s impact. In this webinar, you will learn how to enhance incident responses for large-scale networks. Konstantin Sapronov, Head of Global Emergency Response Team at Kaspersky, will provide you with the following practical insights on:

• Optimizing incident response processes beyond mere scaling up by increasing personnel and systems involved
• Understanding incident response from a management perspective and why it should be an ongoing, cyclical process
• Exploring key principles for a successful response, emphasizing the significance of not only technical skills but also quality processes and soft skills
• Unveiling the limitations of backups in mitigating the consequences of an incident and discovering effective strategies to address them

While some of the existing cybersecurity solutions already provide Endpoint Detection and Response functionality for small and medium business, implementation of EDR in these organizations can cause doubts. Kaspersky’s long-term experience in the development and implementation of EDR Solutions found the following has frequently raised concerns:

• EDR is just a “better antivirus”;
• This technology is only suitable for large enterprises as it is meant to discover sophisticated threats that don’t target small companies;
• EDR is a sophisticated solution that requires security staff - trained in detection and response;
• EDR provides capabilities for full response and remediation;
• EDR becomes shelf ware very quickly.

Are these concerns fair? Join this webinar to find it out and decide if EDR technology fits your company’s need

Addressing myths around EDR
