Presented as a webinar on April 15, 2010.
In this month’s Fresh Prints of Mal-Ware technical webinar series, MANDIANT’s Kyle Dempsey was joined by Christopher Glyer to dive deeper into the inner workings of the Advanced Persistent Threat (APT). Kyle and Christopher have analyzed the intricacies of this growing cyber problem firsthand in the field.
Christopher and Kyle discussed methods of finding APT malware (including examples from APT malware families), the APT’s habits, some mistakes that get them caught and how they hide in plain sight within an environment.
