Course Description

The tactic of Resource Development is one where adversaries will use the means available to them to support their objectives. If an existing software tool will aid in their operations, they may buy or steal it (or the license for it) to use it in nefarious ways. Threat actors like FIN10 have been known to obtain tools, such as publicly-available software, to establish persistence in a victim’s network before pursuing the rest of their desired attack plan.

It's important to learn how to detect this technique, as it is tricky to mitigate it.

Get the hands-on skills you need to detect and mitigate this attack in Cybrary's MITRE ATT&CK Framework courses aligned to the tactics and techniques used by the financially motivated threat group FIN10. Prevent adversaries from accomplishing the tactic of Resource Development in your environment today.
