Most of our digital infrastructure is at risk due to the gap that exists between attack and defense strategies. Attackers usually penetrate systems in a graph-like flow. They start by identifying an entry point and then use discovery technics and lateral movement to reach the “crown jewels”. Security people often protect their systems using checklists: vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, excess privileges etc. In this session we will discuss this gap, its causes and implications and suggest a better approach which is based on network connectivity analysis combined with weakness analysis.
