Analyzing Post-Attack Techniques Course
46 minutes
Course description
After reconnaissance and attack, the last phase of the threat process is post-attack. In many cases, an attacker won't just withdraw once their attack is done; on the contrary, they'll want to stay in control of the systems they've compromised, continue to evade any countermeasures, and cover their tracks to avoid being identified. All of this means that, if you prematurely terminate your threat assessment efforts, they'll have gone to waste. Instead, you need to hone your focus on what an attacker does after an attack that can inflict long-lasting harm on your organization.
