Cybersecurity involves an ongoing battle of wits between attackers and defenders. Attackers employ evasion tactics such as cryptic service usage, device ID spoofing, time-based evasion, AI-enhanced anomaly detection, trust abuse in cloud applications, HTML smuggling, and innovative phishing evasion techniques. To counter these tactics, organizations should reduce their attack surface, conduct proactive threat hunting, establish multiple choke points, and provide phishing awareness training.
The key takeaways from the meeting notes are:
1. Attackers use a variety of evasion tactics such as cryptic services, device ID evasion, time-based evasion, AI-enhanced anomaly detection evasion, prompt injection, abuse of trust in cloud applications, HTML smuggling, and innovative phishing evasion techniques to circumvent security measures.
2. Threat actors are constantly evolving their phishing tactics through the use of top-level domains, IP evasion, proxy checks, randomized folders, FUD links, use of captcha and QR codes, and anti-debugging mechanisms.
3. Organizations can mitigate evasion tactics by implementing zero trust, proactive threat hunting, setting up multiple choke points, and providing phishing training to employees.
These takeaways highlight the evolving nature of cybersecurity threats and the importance of proactive measures to address them.
