Title: Understanding the Criminal Operations Lifecycle
Abstract:
Over the last three years, organized criminal groups have significantly amplified their cyberattack and fraud targeting capabilities. Through capability specialization, the development of advanced malware, and the implementation of as-a-service models, the organized criminal community has managed to construct an ecosystem that they leverage in order to hold companies at risk. In order to combat this ecosystem, it is critical that defenders understand the criminal operations lifecycle. Accordingly, this brief will cover:
- A high-level review of the criminal operations pattern
- Criminal targeting and positioning capabilities
- Criminal exploitation capabilities
- Criminal monetization and capitalization capabilities
