2024 Advanced persistent threat predictions

Modern cars employ a wide array of communication interfaces. Some, like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, directly engage users, while others, such as RDS and GPS, provide user-facing services, and still others, like CAN and Ethernet buses, ensure the proper functioning of the car's internal systems. These interfaces contribute to the extensive flow of data within the car, forming its data flow graph. Within this graph, they serve as the "entry points" for malicious attackers seeking access to the vehicle. However, tampering with them does not necessarily lead to the loss of the car's security features.

In this webcast, cybersecurity experts, Alexander Kozlov and Sergey Anufrienko from Kaspersky's ICS CERT, will delve into the automotive security. Together, we will examine:

- We'll explore which interfaces attackers tend to favor when targeting cars and the reasons behind their choices.
- We'll focus on the techniques attackers employ when conducting attacks through specific interfaces, with an emphasis on classical techniques.
- We'll discuss how to defend against these threats and evaluate the feasibility of reducing associated risks.

Join us for this webinar, where we'll equip you with the knowledge and tools to not only comprehend the ever-evolving landscape of automotive security but also to safeguard your modern vehicle effectively.

Overview of modern car compromise techniques and methods of protection

There is a common sense that companies need to develop and establish a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy to protect their own perimeter from attacks and also react fast and in the right way if they are under fire.
Despite the fact that still many enterprises don’t have a real strategy until they become a victim – which factors should you take into account when you decide to develop and implement a cybersecurity strategy to protect your company?
 
There is no silver bullet, no strategy you can just clone from another company. Different scales of businesses need to develop different strategies based on
- Budget
- Threat landscape
- Targets
- Type of data
- Business sector
 
In our session you will learn how you can develop a cybersecurity strategy that really that is tailored to really protect your business and helps to to react in the right way to mitigate caber attacks. And you will also learn how much budget you should really invest to be protected.

One fits all? No! All you need to develop the right cybersecurity strategy

Not only do cybercriminals make money by committing cybercrime, but they also expand their operations by offering services to individuals without strong technical skills in malware development. This business model is known as Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS), and it operates on various sites of the "shadow" internet, including the Darknet. MaaS generates stable profits, enabling cybercriminals to maintain a team and continuously improve their services to carry out attacks on companies and individual users.
 
Through our research, we have identified 97 families of malware that have been distributed in the MaaS format – or "by subscription" – over the last seven years. These families include ransomware, various loaders, backdoors, botnets, and infostealers. In this webinar, Alexander Zabrovsky, Digital Footprint Analyst at Kaspersky, will delve into the inner workings of MaaS in the Darknet and address the most relevant issues:
 
- How did malware become a full-fledged product, and how did the "subscription" model become a new standard for cybercriminals?
- Why has YouTube become one of the key platforms for distributing malware? Who are traffers, and what is their function?
- Which families of malware are mentioned most often in the Darknet, and how does the Darknet services market depend on the news agenda?

Unveiling the Darknet's Malware-as-a-Service model: How it works?

Cybercriminals tend to be secretive and act without disclosing their identity. However, when it comes to ransomware negotiations, the victim and the attacker have to “meet” face-to-face. Moreover, by the time the two sides meet to discuss the price, the attackers have already gained control of a company’s data or network – that puts the victim in a weak position.

What does it like to negotiate with someone who is trying hard to get a ransom whilst remaining in the dark? What can you expect from such negotiations? In this webcast, Marc Rivero, senior security researcher, GReAT at Kaspersky will observe various tactics used by ransomware groups, explain how the companies are trying to negotiate with these cybercriminals, and what outcome such negotiations may have.

In this webinar, you will learn:
- What Ransomware as a service (RaaS) model is
- What a data leak portal in RaaS terms is
- About ransomware negotiations: stages, means of communication
- What to do if you have been reached by a ransomware group
- Q&A session

Today pentest challenges don’t boil down to discovering some hype vulnerabilities like XSS, CSRF, SQLl, and RCE in clients’ cybersecurity systems. While pentesters search for them and put effort into finding and demonstrating possible attack vectors, there is one more project member whose role remains unclear to a customer – the cybersecurity analyst.

These specialists take a helicopter view of the target system to properly assess existing “holes”. They offer customers a comprehensive picture of penetration testing results combined with an action plan on how to mitigate risks. Moreover, analysts help prove the need for a cybersecurity solution to c-suite and management teams, who are directly involved in cybersecurity processes and budgeting.

In this webinar, we showcase the role of analysts in penetration testing and security assessment projects. You will learn:
- What is the most mature manner of running such projects
- How an analyst’s view of a project can be useful to both technical specialists and management representatives
- What are the differences between pentesters and analysts, and why it’s important to have both on your project
- Is it possible to manage pentesting and security assessment without an analyst?

The webinar will be conducted by Olga Zinenko, Senior Security Services Expert at Kaspersky. Olga has 10 years’ experience in the information security analytics field, conducting dozens of audits, pentests and security assessments. She is a regular media contributor to publications on a variety of cybersecurity topics.
