How Hackers Hack and Why They Do It
Cybercriminals use a wide range of tools, techniques and technology to attack organizations to gain access. Everything from social engineering, to attacking internet facing endpoints, their main goal is to access the organization and steal the data. If they can sell off the information or even better, encrypt the victims data and extort them for large amounts of money. It's important we understand how they do it, why they do it and what can be done to reduce the risk or opportunity for them to be successful. With the recent Conti data leak and from other cybercriminal groups, we can learn to understand and know our enemy to help us protect and defend our organizations and reduce the risk of an attack.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the various technological methods cybercriminals use to attack organizations
- Learn the ways we can help protect ourselves and the organization
-See how cybercriminals use social engineering to get users to open the front door for them
