This week’s attack on Twitter was extremely sophisticated, and likely wasn’t an isolated incident. Coordinated attacks like these take time and resources to execute, so it’s likely the attackers had already gained a foothold on Twitter’s networks, and spent weeks - or even months - stealthily gathering intelligence before they made their public moves. This speaks to a larger trend we’re seeing in cybercrime, where hackers exploit workers via phishing attacks to gain access to a company network - moving laterally under the radar to collect information. They wait and learn. By the time they launch their attack, they may know as much or more about the environment than the defender. This issue is further exacerbated by remote work, as security teams and the access points they’re trying to protect are scattered, making it more difficult to stave off threats. Perimeters get breached. Security teams need to accept that and take the fight to the attacker in the network. They should shift their strategy toward making the network deceptive in order to make the attacker's path from breach to crown jewels risky and time consuming.  Read Less
