UNC2452’s operators have a mastery of both offensive and defensive skills - and hav e used that knowledge to refine their intrusion techniques to hide in plai n sight. They’ve compromised dozens of organizations in the government\, NGO\, technology\, security\, telecommunications\, and education sectors. They leverage several attack vectors to obtain access to victim environme nts and use creative and clandestine techniques to maintain persistent acc ess. We will discuss their tradecraft observed in several victim environme nts and discuss ways organizations can better defend their networks from t his threat actor and the other actors that will emulate UNC2452 in the fut ure.\n\nAbout our speaker:\n\nNader Zaveri has over 14 years of experience in IT security\, infrastructure\, and risk management.\n\nNader has assis ted client’s incident response investigations to help investigate and un derstand the storyline of the attack for most allusive nation-state threat actors that are associated with infamous on-prem and cloud-based breaches .
