Cybercriminals are becoming more advanced in their approach and attack vectors. The SolarWinds attack brings forward a new tactic where trusted systems are used against you, in the most basic approach; allowing threat actors to survey and gain insight into the potential victim’s network and allowing the threat actors to prepare a very targeted assault on the network to gain access and exfiltrate data. The Sunburst attack has become a new intrusion architecture for cybercriminals to lessen the time to compromise dramatically.

Since the attack several tools have been introduced to help organizations pinpoint potential infiltration. Digital Forge is a respected cybersecurity company with strategic competencies in Incident Response and combating cyber threats.
