Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) Resistance
Are you sure you can trust your network?
APTs are a simple evolution of the attacks we have been witnessing over the last few years. However, many conventional defences appear ineffective against an APT, once the attack vector has evolved into hiding the command and control protocols in normal network traffic.
Targeted attacks are now tailored to specific companies, through social engineering techniques on employees and contract staff. These attacks use ‘Spear Phishing’ to gain entry into an organisation’s network, by carefully constructing a spoofed e-mail (often purporting to be from the IT department, high profile executive or alumni), which encourages the employee to click on a link to malware or infected website. These are not casual criminal hackers, but professionals aimed at stealing your data and maintain a presence on your network to gain economic or intellectual advantage.
To resist these attacks, Enterprises need a Security Partner with a 360º approach.
CIPHER’S solution uses a combination of best-of-breed and new technology, surrounded by an effective security awareness programme and 24x7 Agile Security Information Event Management (SIEM) Service. Advanced Persistent Threats need to be tackled with a defence in depth approach. We do this by understanding how the business works, reviewing and assessing infrastructure and applications and then implementing an effective defence capability.
