How do you catch up to a highly skilled threat actor after they use stealthy living off the land techniques to evade traditional detection tools? We simulated a Volt Typhoon attack to find out.
In this Volt Typhoon simulation, defenders were put to the test when the threat actor used everything within their power — command and control techniques, password spray techniques, brute force attempts — to avoid detection and live off the land across multiple hybrid attack surfaces. Armed with the highest threat signal efficacy, security analysts knew exactly where to focus efforts.
The secret to stopping LOTL attacks? Attack Signal Intelligence™. Vectra AI’s patented AI-driven signal empowers defenders leveraging the Vectra AI Platform to move at the speed and scale of hybrid attackers — including state-sponsored actors like Volt Typhoon.
Join our ensemble of security researchers, data scientists and analysts as we share over 11+ years of security-AI research and expertise with the global cybersecurity community. Through our webinars and hands-on labs, you’ll learn how to effectively leverage AI for threat detection and response and expose sophisticated attacks hiding in your environment.
Once access is achieved, Volt Typhoon makes quick use of difficult-to-detect LOTL techniques to blend in with normal network activity. With 11 references in the MITRE D3FEND framework — more than any other vendor — only Vectra AI correlates behavioral detections across each attack surface so defenders know exactly where to focus efforts. Attack Signal Intelligence detects and prioritizes:
