How initial access offers power intrusions and ransomware
Initial access brokers (IABs) sell access to compromised organizations on underground forums. Here's an analysis looking at whether these offers can be correlated to ransomware attacks.
Cyber resilience is dependent not only on the strength of an organizationβs own planning and defenses, but also that of its partners. Attackers increasingly are capitalizing on risks that come from supply chains. If a given target for a group of attackers proves to be difficult to infiltrate, they may look to other companies and organizations connected to the target. Supply chain attacks vary in sophistication and execution. They can range from compromising email accounts at partner companies to stealing code-signing certificates to infiltrating continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) software development pipelines. Organizations can vet their partners using questionnaires and surveys, but the security of a partner from day to day can be largely unknown. However, there are sources of cyber threat intelligence (CTI) that can provide advance warning of cybercriminals targeting partners and allow crucial time to make a risk evaluation. The following white paper explores a few of the most notable supply chain attacks and discusses how CTI can be operationalized to reduce risk β from monitoring malware indicators to exposed credentials to software vulnerabilities.βββββο»Ώβο»Ώββββββο»Ώο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώββββββο»Ώββββββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώβο»Ώββββββο»Ώββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώββββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώο»Ώββββββο»Ώββββββββββο»Ώβββββββββββββββο»Ώβββββββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββο»Ώβο»Ώβο»Ώββββο»Ώο»Ώββο»Ώο»Ώββββββο»Ώββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώββο»Ώβββο»Ώβο»Ώβο»Ώββββο»Ώββο»Ώβο»Ώββββββο»Ώββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώββββο»Ώββο»Ώβο»Ώβο»Ώβββο»Ώββββββββββββο»Ώο»Ώββο»Ώο»Ώββββββο»Ώββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώββο»Ώββββο»Ώο»Ώβββββββββββββο»Ώββββο»Ώο»Ώββο»Ώβββο»Ώο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώο»Ώββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώβο»Ώββββββο»Ώββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώο»Ώββο»Ώββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώο»Ώββο»Ώβββββο»Ώβο»Ώββββββββο»Ώββο»Ώβββο»Ώββββο»Ώββο»Ώβββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβο»Ώβο»Ώβββο»Ώββββο»Ώββο»Ώβββββββββββββο»Ώβββββο»Ώβο»Ώβο»Ώβο»Ώβο»Ώβββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώο»Ώβββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώο»Ώβββο»Ώβο»Ώβο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώο»Ώββο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώββββββββββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώβββββο»Ώββο»Ώο»Ώββββββο»Ώββββββο»Ώβββββββββββββββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώββο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβββββββββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώββββββββββββο»Ώββββββββββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββο»Ώββββο»Ώο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώββββο»Ώββββββββββο»Ώββββββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώββββββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώββββββββββββββββββββο»Ώββο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββο»Ώβββββββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββο»Ώο»Ώο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώββββο»Ώββο»Ώο»Ώββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβββββββββββο»Ώββββββββββββο»Ώββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώββο»Ώβββο»Ώβο»Ώβο»Ώββββο»Ώββο»Ώβο»Ώββββββο»Ώββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώββββο»Ώββο»Ώβο»Ώβο»Ώβββο»Ώββββββββββββο»Ώο»Ώβββββββββββββο»Ώο»Ώββο»Ώβββββο»Ώβο»Ώββββββββο»Ώββο»Ώβββο»Ώββββο»Ώββο»Ώβββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβο»Ώβο»Ώβββο»Ώββββο»Ώββο»Ώβββββββββββββο»Ώβββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώο»Ώβββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώο»Ώββο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώββββββββββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώβββββο»Ώββο»Ώο»Ώββββββο»Ώββββββο»Ώβββββββββββββββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώββο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβββββββββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώββββββββββββο»Ώββββββββββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββο»Ώββββο»Ώο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώββββο»Ώββββββββββο»Ώββββββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώββββββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώββββββββββββββββββββο»Ώββο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββο»Ώβββββββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώβββο»Ώβο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββο»Ώβββββββο»Ώο»Ώββο»Ώβββο»Ώββββββββο»Ώββββββο»Ώβο»Ώβββββββββββββββββο»Ώο»Ώβ
