Episode 162: Before the Breach How Attackers Profile Your Organization
About this episode
In this episode, Brad and Spencer from SecurIT360's Offensive Security group delve into the crucial reconnaissance phase attackers undertake before launching an attack. They discuss the real-world impact of seemingly harmless data leaks, how attackers chain them together to build a profile of your organization, and common misconceptions about what data is truly "sensitive" from an external attacker's perspective. Learn how organizations can realistically assess their external attack surface beyond automated scanning and discover creative OSINT techniques defenders can use to mimic attacker reconnaissance.
