Initial Access Brokers - A Deep Dive

Presented by

Digital Shadows Threat Researchers Stefano De Blasi and Alec Alvarado

About this talk

The past 12 months have seen a significant increase in the number of ransomware variants, ransomware targets, and ransomware payments. This rise in ransomware has been helped by another pernicious trend: the risk of initial access brokers. A sharp increase in remote work, among other things, has helped initial access brokers (IAB) reach their full potential. Plus, their work is increasingly lucrative with access selling for an average of $7,100. We're taking a closer look at IAB activity and how you can mitigate risks associated with these threat actors. In this webinar we cover: - How Initial Access Brokers give rise to ransomware - The different types of access most commonly sold - How the rise in remote work has caused additional challenges - The most common geographies targeted - How cybercriminals use this access and what that means for your business
