Abstract:
Technical analysis and information sharing in the handling of high-profile targeted attacks
In my talk, first I will disclose some steps and interesting piece of the technical progress of investigations of Duqu and Flame at our lab. In addtition, I will give some insight into the issues of working with such high-profile threats, as management issues take considerable resources from the handling of the threat. I will try to identify what type of abilities, processes, knowledge and resources are needed to perform the task, and what other conditions are neccesary from the work environment.
