Exposing the threats, techniques and markets that fuel the economy of cybercriminals
One way cybercriminals obtain the resources and connections they need to engage in their activities is through the Internet underground or “dark web.” Definitions of the Internet underground may vary, but to Secureworks, it means the collection of Internet forums, digital shop fronts and chat rooms that cybercriminals use to form alliances, trade tools and techniques, and sell compromised data that can include banking details, personally identifiable information and other content.

In our “2017 State of Cybercrime” report, we shared several key findings and intelligence which stems from the visibility gained from criminal forum monitoring, our thousands of clients, the machine learning and automation from our industry-leading Counter Threat Platform™, and the actionable insights from our team of elite Counter Threat Unit™ (CTU) researchers, analysts and consultants.
Secureworks Counter Threat Unit Senior Security Researcher, Mike McLellan, will analyse the key findings from our research and will cover recommended strategies for organisations to pursue in order to prevent, detect, respond to and predict the latest cybercriminal activity threats.
During this live webcast we will cover:
Key findings from our visibility into criminal forums and technical monitoring of global criminal activity
