Ransomware with Recovery Disruption
Course Description

Every adversary has a different objective. For some, that objective is to disrupt the target’s operations either as the desired end result or as a means to extort that organization with financial gain as the final goal. Either way, encrypting large volumes of data in the target environment is an effective method of achieving those objectives. Our course covers these final techniques associated with ransomware attacks, including T1486 Data Encrypted for Impact and T1490 Inhibit System Recovery.

Apply what you learn and get the hands-on skills you need in Cybrary's MITRE ATT&CK Framework courses aligned to the tactics and techniques used by the threat group APT41 (aka Double Dragon). Prevent adversaries from accomplishing the tactics of discovery and persistence.

Instructor
Chris Daywalt

After too many years of security operations work, Chris Daywalt tries to turn his phone off at 5:00 pm EST. While there are a bunch of training classes and education somewhere on his resume, much of what he has to teach was learned at the school of hard knocks, often at the expense of his previous clients. He wants to help you spend more time detecting and denying adversaries and less time banging your head against your keyboard. He dips his blueberry donuts in orange juice.

Chris’ 19-year career includes work for organizations of all sizes, both government and private sector, and is distributed roughly like so:

  • 30% doing DFIR
  • 30% teaching DFIR
  • 20% monitoring and detection engineering
  • 15% risk assessment
  • 5% other stuff, like sneaking in a game of Plants vs. Zombies or taking a quick nap at the desk (Don’t judge - I work overtime)
