How to spot and defend against adversaries movements in your network
MITTRE ATT&CK HandsOn Training
Once the attacker infiltrate to the network they have various goals and targets. Attack can be initiated by phishing or attacker can simply use social engineering technique and gain user credentials. Having stolen credentials there is small step to became domain admin. In situation like this where no exploit is used, and valid credentials play primary role in initial phase of attack SOC have hard time to distinguish from normal traffic. With legit credentials attacker can and will move laterally. During the attack “credential dance” will be used as that is common pattern how to move laterally.
In this training we will focus on detections of these movements and techniques. We will use Bloodhound to detect possible movement path. And we will use this knowledge to improve our detections patterns. This training is 90% blue team and 10% red team and 80% technical where time will be spent in lab. After this training you will have knowledge how to detect attacker sneakily moving through the company systems.
