Reasons to use Suricata for incident response and threat hunting

While some of the existing cybersecurity solutions already provide Endpoint Detection and Response functionality for small and medium business, implementation of EDR in these organizations can cause doubts. Kaspersky’s long-term experience in the development and implementation of EDR Solutions found the following has frequently raised concerns:

• EDR is just a “better antivirus”;
• This technology is only suitable for large enterprises as it is meant to discover sophisticated threats that don’t target small companies;
• EDR is a sophisticated solution that requires security staff - trained in detection and response;
• EDR provides capabilities for full response and remediation;
• EDR becomes shelf ware very quickly.

Are these concerns fair? Join this webinar to find it out and decide if EDR technology fits your company’s need

Not only do cybercriminals make money by committing cybercrime, but they also expand their operations by offering services to individuals without strong technical skills in malware development. This business model is known as Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS), and it operates on various sites of the "shadow" internet, including the Darknet. MaaS generates stable profits, enabling cybercriminals to maintain a team and continuously improve their services to carry out attacks on companies and individual users.

Through our research, we have identified 97 families of malware that have been distributed in the MaaS format – or "by subscription" – over the last seven years. These families include ransomware, various loaders, backdoors, botnets, and infostealers. In this webinar, Alexander Zabrovsky, Digital Footprint Analyst at Kaspersky, will delve into the inner workings of MaaS in the Darknet and address the most relevant issues:

- How did malware become a full-fledged product, and how did the "subscription" model become a new standard for cybercriminals?
- Why has YouTube become one of the key platforms for distributing malware? Who are traffers, and what is their function?
- Which families of malware are mentioned most often in the Darknet, and how does the Darknet services market depend on the news agenda?
