Nexus: A Claroty podcast

36:33

Ron Fabela of ABS Consulting joins the Nexus Podcast to dispel some of the myths surrounding threat actors targeting operational technology and industrial control systems. Groups such as the Russian Cyber Army, UserSec, and the CyberAv3ngers have different ideological motivations, and have decidedly carried out low-impact attacks on OT. Fabela covers some of their tactics, whether they're better marketers than hackers, and reminds users that their exploits still merit investigation and remediation.

Volexity founder Steven Adair joins the Claroty Nexus Podcast to discuss the Nearest Neighbor Attack, a unique attack carried out by Russia's APT 28 against a high-value target in an attempt to gain intelligence on Ukraine prior to the start of the war in February 2022. APT 28 was able to compromise the Wi-Fi network of its target without being in physical proximity of it. They did so by remotely compromising neighboring organizations, accessing their Wi-Fi networks—creating a daisy-chain of breaches and compromises—until they were able to reach their target.
