Inside the Mind of the Modern Cyber Spy: Mastering the Kill Chain
In this episode, “A View to a Kill Chain: Tales from the Dark Side,” the NetWitness Incident Response team takes you deep into the world of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), elite adversaries that don’t break in, they blend in. You’ll walk through the full attack lifecycle, from initial compromise to mission execution, uncovering how nation-state actors use native tools, encrypted tunnels, and stealthy lateral movement to achieve high-stakes objectives like espionage and sabotage.
Listeners will learn why traditional defenses often fail, and why network forensics is the key to uncovering hidden threats. Through real-world case studies and tactical guidance, you’ll gain insight into detecting LOTL behavior, identifying encrypted command-and-control traffic, and using NetWitness to hunt like a cyber-007.
By the end, you’ll understand not just how APTs operate—but how to outmaneuver them.
