How attackers use open source intelligence against enterprises

Abstract:

“Open source intelligence is a powerful tool for security professionals. Unfortunately, cybercriminals use it as well. With free and accessible information, criminals can easily identify and attack vulnerable and misconfigured systems. The work-from-home model has increased these risks, as many employees work outside the security perimeters of the office. Understanding how threat actors operate and use open source intelligence enables security stakeholders to strengthen their cyberdefenses.”
