Shining a Light on the DarkSide - Part 1

Earlier this year an unnamed ransomware group crippled the Colonial Pipeline Company using the DarkSide ransomware. The attack shutdown the largest oil distribution system in the US. It also resulted in oil and gas shortages up and down the East Coast for several days. But it also brought to the fore the growing sophistication of cyber criminals and the risks they pose to critical infrastructure and increasingly connected supply chains.

Prepare for a webinar that will shine a light on to the DarkSide ransomware operations. Join Intel 471's Brandon Denker and Mike Mitchell as they provide insight into the attack against the Colonial Pipeline, and suggest strategies for earlier detection through threat hunting.

Topics covered during the webinar will include:

• Insight into how ransomware operations have evolved beyond simple lone wolf groups to include a variety of actors and service providers.
   
• An overview of the DarkSide ransomware and its operations, and the Colonial Pipeline Attack.
   
• How proactive threat hunting can help in earlier detection of ransomware operations.
