Analyzing Reconnaissance Threats to Computing and Network Environments Course
34 minutes
Course description
Before threat actors launch their attack in earnest, they gather information. The information available to them is almost always a result of their target's behavior. The attacker simply does their own research, and suddenly they've made their job a lot easier. You need to analyze just what attackers can learn from your organization in order to get a better picture of what they'll attack, and how.
