EDRs don't stop or detect Cobalt Strike. So, what will?

In this month's Security knowledge-sprint session we will cover how easy it is for threat actors to bypass EDR and some of the TTPs involved during living of the land attacks.

Threat actors often use Cobalt Strike, a tool turned weapon by malicious actors and its rich feature set lowers the technical barrier to entry for ransomware gangs. We are seeing more financially motivated threat actors using the same tool that was previously only available to nation-state threat operations. In this 30-minute sprint session our Secops team members will cover some demonstrations and examples to;                                                                    

  1. Understand how Cobalt Strike works and how it can be detected with Crystal Eye
  2. Identify the detection techniques that don't work and how EDR can be bypassed.
  3. Learn about the role good CTI and Crystal Eye's Automated Actionable Intelligence plays in mitigating attacks leveraging Cobalt Strike.
  4. Learn to understand the cyber kill chain and the stages of attack with these types of LOl threats.
