The continuous stream of recorded incidents have made it clear that critical infrastructure has become an increasingly important target for adversaries seeking to create a strategic advantage through economic and societal disruption. And it brought up the realization of how exposed this sector is.
Whether the goal is damage and sabotage, societal destabilization, or the theft of critical information, public and private critical entities are now becoming unwilling participants in a geopolitical chessboard that keeps pushing the boundaries of what we once understood as the "gray zone": adversarial operations that play with the boundaries but stay just below the threshold of open conflict while delivering real damage.
To better defend in this environment, we must understand how adversaries can systematically leverage Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) to ๐ฆ๐๐ฉ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐๐ฌ & ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ซ๐, identify ๐ฉ๐ก๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฌ, profile and ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ญ ๐ก๐ข๐ ๐ก-๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ฌ, and effectively plan or facilitate operations from a safe distance.
In response to this ever-evolving threat landscape, this November I'm delivering a new 2-day training at DeepSec in Vienna on Hybrid Threats & OSINT for the protection of critical infrastructure.
With a focus on Europe, we will explore what an adversary can learn about our critical infrastructure, what kind of vulnerabilities are exposed though public sources, and how to manage hybrid risks through a structured, defensive approach.
๐๐๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ๐ฉ๐ข๐๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐:
๐ท Understanding Hybrid Threats:
Overview, domains, operational characteristics & real-world incidents
๐ท Adversaries using hybrid tactics:
State, non-state & state-affiliated actors. Goals & known modus operandi
๐ท Human targets & recruitment operations:
Hybrid campaigns focusing on infiltration, recruitment, and social engineering
๐ท OSINT as an attack facilitator and as a vulnerability identification tool
๐ท OSINT techniques for ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง๐ง๐๐ฅ and for the ๐ฉ๐ก๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฌ.
We will look into vulnerability exposure through a variety of public sources including critical infrastructure databases, satellite imagery, mapping services, and more.
๐ท How defenders can identify, assess, and mitigate hybrid risks using a structured,
defensive framework.
