Dissecting the malware technique that keeps threat hunters guessing. For cybersecurity professionals and threat hunters, it can feel like advanced persistent threats are always one step ahead.

For cybersecurity professionals and threat hunters, it can feel like advanced persistent threats are always one step ahead – especially in the case of modern domain generation algorithms (DGAs).

In this whiteboard video, BlueCat’s CTO, Andrew Wertkin, explains:

  • How adversaries use DGAs to bury the tracks of communication to Command & Control (C2) servers for botnet malware and ransomware
  • How these domains are generated, what they look like, and how they connect to malware
  • The patterns your DNS data can reveal to help you weed out and block the malicious domains

Plus, BlueCat Software Development Manager Jeffrey Ip offers more answers on the blog to that what is a DGA question.

Modern network complexities can introduce security risks, operational risks, and create huge operational expense for your organization when not properly managed. Join our webinar on February 26 to learn how BlueCat helps you augment your Cisco implementations.
