Hackers of CypherCon: 2x10

Tracking an Adversary's Learning Curve with Edd Black

There are 2 camps of attackers: low skilled opportunists (script kiddies) and APT – Advanced Persistent Threats (funded organized crime, nation states). In between lurks a skilled persistent threat, capable of doing even more damage. These adversaries require human responders to identify, track, & oppose. Understand the constraints of the persistent threat, and you can learn to counter them.
