2024 Advanced persistent threat predictions

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

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consolidated into a single infrastructure, mergers and acquisitions with companies possessing lower security levels, outdated hardware and software, and more.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

2023 APT Landscape Unveiled: Trends, Challenges, Solutions

Mitigating the risks that attacks pose to an entity can be the difference between an SMB growing and succeeding - or it falling victim to a malicious attack and leaving business owners dealing with the aftermath for months.


And when it comes to IT security and keeping your business and customers safe, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that the way to ensure you fall into the first camp - growing and succeeding - is to go back to basics and make sure that you have a solid endpoint foundation. The right endpoint foundation is cost-effective, requires the least skill set and enables businesses to build their security strategies up from there. 

In this fireside chat, Andrew Namisi, Senior Presales Engineer at Kaspersky and John Bruggeman, Chief Information Security Officer, Consulting at CBTS are joining forces to share vital information on endpoint security strategies for the SMB. Join them to hear:

- What a solid endpoint foundation looks like in 2023
- Why SMBs need to do basic blocking and tackling, as well as prevention and detection 
- When and why SMBs need to implement endpoint detection and response (EDR), and when they need to - look at managed detection and response (MDR)
- What an SMB-specific endpoint protection platform (EPP) can offer 
- How SMBs can guard against ransomware in a cost-effective way
- And more

Kaspersky Premium Support and  Professional Services

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

On Demand Talk - 2023 APT Predictions from Kaspersky GREAT

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
