In the intricate dance of cyber warfare, the act of gaining unauthorized access is merely the first step. The real artistry lies in staying undetected, maintaining that access, and achieving objectives without raising alarms. "The Survival Guide to Maintaining Access and Evading Detection Post-Exploitation" delves deep into this complex and ever-evolving realm of post-exploitation in cybersecurity. From the renowned experts at Greyhat Intelligence & Investigative Solutions, this comprehensive guide reveals the hidden nuances of post-exploitation activities. Learn how threat actors secure their foothold, escalate privileges, and maneuver through networks undetected. Discover the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) that distinguish an amateur attacker from a seasoned professional. Each chapter of the guide offers a meticulously researched look into distinct aspects of post-exploitation: - Grasp the importance of **maintaining access** within compromised systems and the myriad methods employed to persist through reboots, updates, and other adversities. - Delve into the art of **evading detection**, a critical skill in a world where enterprises are investing heavily in fortifying their cyber defenses. - Explore the "live off the land" philosophy, leveraging legitimate tools and native system features for clandestine operations, sidestepping the common detection avenues. - Navigate through advanced realms of cyber-attacks, such as **tunneling**, **pivoting**, and memory-resident malware, and understand the counter-forensic measures that elite hackers employ. - Equip yourself with the latest strategies to defend against these surreptitious techniques. Learn how to harden systems, enhance detection capabilities, and respond effectively when breaches occur. - Reflect on the ethical dimensions of post-exploitation and the evolving global legal landscape that shapes this domain. Plus, anticipate the future challenges and opportunities that emerging technologies bring to the post-exploitation scene. Bolstered by real-world case studies, detailed toolkits, and a glossary of terms, this book is an essential resource for cybersecurity professionals, digital forensics experts, and IT personnel. Whether you're looking to safeguard your organization's digital assets, enhance your penetration testing skills, or understand the adversary's playbook, "The Survival Guide to Maintaining Access and Evading Detection Post-Exploitation" is the definitive compendium you need in your arsenal.

As a business leader, you might think you have cybersecurity under control because you have a great IT team. But managing cyber risk requires more than firewalls and good passwords. Cash flow, insurance, relationships, and legal affairs for an organization all play major roles in managing cyber risk. Treating cybersecurity as “just an IT problem” leaves an organization exposed and unprepared. Therefore, executives must take charge of the big picture. Cybersecurity: A Business Solution is a concise guide to managing cybersecurity from a business perspective, written specifically for the leaders of small and medium businesses. In this book you will find a step-by-step approach to managing the financial impact of cybersecurity. The strategy provides the knowledge you need to steer technical experts toward solutions that fit your organization’s business mission. The book also covers common pitfalls that lead to a false sense of security. And, to help offset the cost of higher security, it explains how you can leverage investments in cybersecurity to capture market share and realize more profits. The book’s companion material also includes an executive guide to The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework. It offers a business level overview of the following key terms and concepts, which are central to managing its adoption. - Tiers - Profiles - Functions - Informative References

Tallinn Manual 2.0 expands on the highly influential first edition by extending its coverage of the international law governing cyber operations to peacetime legal regimes. The product of a three-year follow-on project by a new group of twenty renowned international law experts, it addresses such topics as sovereignty, state responsibility, human rights, and the law of air, space, and the sea. Tallinn Manual 2.0 identifies 154 'black letter' rules governing cyber operations and provides extensive commentary on each rule. Although Tallinn Manual 2.0 represents the views of the experts in their personal capacity, the project benefitted from the unofficial input of many states and over fifty peer reviewers.

As the 2020 global lockdown became a universal strategy to control the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing triggered a massive reliance on online and cyberspace alternatives and switched the world to the digital economy. Despite their effectiveness for remote work and online interactions, cyberspace alternatives ignited several Cybersecurity challenges. Malicious hackers capitalized on global anxiety and launched cyberattacks against unsuspecting victims. Internet fraudsters exploited human and system vulnerabilities and impacted data integrity, privacy, and digital behaviour. Cybersecurity in the COVID-19 Pandemic demystifies Cybersecurity concepts using real-world cybercrime incidents from the pandemic to illustrate how threat actors perpetrated computer fraud against valuable information assets particularly healthcare, financial, commercial, travel, academic, and social networking data. The book simplifies the socio-technical aspects of Cybersecurity and draws valuable lessons from the impacts COVID-19 cyberattacks exerted on computer networks, online portals, and databases. The book also predicts the fusion of Cybersecurity into Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Analytics, the two emerging domains that will potentially dominate and redefine post-pandemic Cybersecurity research and innovations between 2021 and 2025. The book’s primary audience is individual and corporate cyberspace consumers across all professions intending to update their Cybersecurity knowledge for detecting, preventing, responding to, and recovering from computer crimes. Cybersecurity in the COVID-19 Pandemic is ideal for information officers, data managers, business and risk administrators, technology scholars, Cybersecurity experts and researchers, and information technology practitioners. Readers will draw lessons for protecting their digital assets from email phishing fraud, social engineering scams, malware campaigns, and website hijacks.
