Q & A
What is the current trend in cyber attacks mentioned in the transcript?
-The current trend mentioned is that attackers are speeding up their operations and compartmentalizing their activities by using vendors within malicious groups.
How are attackers utilizing AI in their operations?
-Attackers are using AI for scans and detections to enhance their cyber attack strategies.
What is the term used to describe the technique of responding to a cyber attack where an attacker is on the same server?
-The term used is 'digital jiujitsu,' which refers to the methods taught to handle a situation where a remote attacker is on the same server as the defender.
What is the significance of identifying a remote attacker on your server?
-Identifying a remote attacker on your server is crucial because it allows you to take immediate action to mitigate the threat and prevent further unauthorized access.
What does the term 'pivot' mean in the context of a cyber attack?
-In the context of a cyber attack, 'pivot' refers to an attacker's strategy to move around the network to gain more access, often with the goal of reaching the domain server.
Why is gaining access to the domain server a priority for attackers?
-Access to the domain server is prioritized because it often provides control over the entire network, allowing the attacker to have more influence and access to sensitive information.
What is the main goal of an attacker once they have breached a network?
-The main goal of an attacker once they have breached a network is to keep bouncing around to gain more access, ultimately aiming for the domain server to control the network.
How can organizations better prepare for and respond to cyber attacks?
-Organizations can better prepare by educating their staff on techniques like digital jiujitsu, implementing robust security measures, and having a clear incident response plan in place.
What is the role of human intervention in the cyber breach trend discussed?
-There is still a heavy trend of human intervention from remote locations in enterprise breaches, indicating that attackers are actively working within the compromised network.
What should be the immediate course of action upon discovering an attacker on your machine?
-Upon discovering an attacker on your machine, immediate action should be taken to isolate the machine, alert security teams, and initiate the organization's incident response plan.
How can the concept of digital jiujitsu benefit cybersecurity professionals?
-Digital jiujitsu can benefit cybersecurity professionals by providing them with techniques to effectively respond to and neutralize threats when an attacker is already within their network.

Transcripts
yeah they're actually so our attackers
are speeding up those as they've start
to compartmentalize and you know get
their vendors within the bad guy groups
right um I I I think they're using AI to
do scans and detections so in essence so
like that 422 class that I I I talked to
you about um I call it I like to call it
we teach people how to do digital
jiujitsu you know that that sounds kind
of weird but um short version is you
have to be able to what happens if
you're on your server mhm and you figure
out some remote attacker is literally on
the machine with me right now well we
show you what to do so that whole so the
reason I bring that up is when you look
at those those breach reports there is
still a heavy Trend that there is a
human being from some remote location
that's actually in your Enterprise
actively working wait a minute but if
you actually figure that out well what
do I do you know you got to do something
well especially now we know you the
other thing is keep in mind once they
get that first breach done okay the one
thing I like to talk about is um they
try to Pivot to get more access like if
you're an attacker once you're in the
Enterprise what you want to do is keep
bouncing to get more access until you
get what is known as the domain server
