Learn about the results of a forensic investigation following a cyberattack on the critical Ukrainian infrastructure facility in the energy sector that resulted in a partial blackout at a power substation and mounted to a loss of about one-fifth of the city’s power consumption. The organization under attack was a state-owned national power company that is responsible for operational and technological control of the Ukrainian integrated power system and electricity transmission via trunk power grids (from generating plants to the distribution networks of regional electricity suppliers).
ISSP Labs investigated the incident and found clear and overwhelming evidence demonstrating that the company’s infrastructure was compromised and controlled by adversaries. Therefore, the power cut was the result of a targeted cyber-attack. Evidence showed how intruders obtained access to infrastructure and which subsequent steps they took to escalate their privileges and capture control.
What you can expect:
· Evidence of compromised company infrastructure that was controlled by adversaries
· How intruders obtained access to infrastructure — tools, tactics, and techniques
· How compromised assets were localized and internal threats eradicated
· Key stages of Advanced Persistent Threat attacks
· What technologies, people, and processes are needed to prevent similar attacks
