Threat Intel FAQ

Why are digital certificates targeted in ransomware attacks?

Digital certificates allow for secure communication and software signing. When stolen, they permit attackers to impersonate legitimate entities or sign malicious payloads, making it harder for security tools to detect unauthorized actions.

How can an organization mitigate the risk of data exfiltration?

Mitigation requires a combination of strong access management, network segmentation, and continuous monitoring. Regularly using tools like an attack surface manager helps identify exposed entry points before attackers can use them for exfiltration.
