Alliance Case Study: EY

Human ingenuity is driving cyber threat evolution, harnessing artificial intelligence and automation along with sharing knowledge and capabilities. Collaborations between adversary groups are creating an increase in professionalization across the networks of cyber adversaries. Members are learning from the outcomes of their attacks and the responses from their victims. Humans are very good at learning from others, what worked and what didn’t. The lines are blurring between threat actor groups, ideology and intent are no longer important distinguishing factors. If an attack style works and the technical resources are available, they will be used. In this presentation, we will explore this growing trend, the potential impacts for organizations and how they can prepare.
