Overview

Infostealers are an increasingly popular tool for collecting personal data and gaining unauthorized access. These logs are then tested by Initial Access Brokers (IABs) and the best access is sold on the dark web as entry points into an organization's network, often for less than $10. This access is then used for ransomware, data theft, and espionage attacks.

In this webinar, Rob Fitzsimons and Evan Blair explain how to identify Infostealers and Initial Access Brokers (IABs) selling access into your organization's critical infrastructure on the dark web – and what you can do about it.
