Agenda

In the last six months, we've seen interesting developments in the threat landscape. In the area of cyberespionage and advanced threats, we'll take a look at a diverse class of malware targeting IIS servers, and several APT groups targeting governments and diplomats - some that have been active for a while and some that have just recently been uncovered. Developments in financially motivated threats have been just as interesting: we'll cover news about ransomware and supply chain attacks - Kaseya, and show the effects of recent law enforcement action against Trickbot and Emotet.
