Watch the video below:Ĭombining cyber and influence operations (IO) Microsoft Corporate Vice President and Security Fellow John Lambert briefly comments on how threat actors avoid showy custom tools to achieve stealth. Instead, they use tools and processes existing on their victim’s device to obscure themselves alongside other threat actors using similar methods to launch attacks. Threat actor groups emphasizing stealth have selectively avoided the use of custom malware. 2023 trends for threat tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) Threat actors within the same weather family are given an adjective to distinguish different groups, except for groups in development, which are given four-digit numbers. In our new taxonomy, a weather event or family name represents one of the above categories. Microsoft categorizes threat actors into five key groups: In 2023, Microsoft shifted to a new, weather-themed threat actor naming taxonomy that (1) better matches the increasing complexity, scale, and volume of modern threats and (2) provides a more organized, memorable, and easy way to reference adversary groups. Microsoft Director of Threat Intelligence Strategy Naming Taxonomy Refresher Here are some of the highlights that both John Lambert and I would like to share with you along with some video snippets taken from our discussion at Ignite 2023. Our review of the TPPs from 2023 aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the threat intelligence landscape through what we observed in incidents around the world. Looking back at the details of these incidents helps us see the patterns so we can determine how to respond to new threats and anticipate in which direction they may move next. Tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) have evolved to become nimbler and more evasive in nature. The last year has presented more attacks than ever before, and the attack chains are getting more complex with every passing day. The sheer volume of threats and attacks revealed through the more than 65 trillion signals we monitor daily has given us many inflection points, especially as we notice a shift in how threat actors are scaling and leveraging nation state support. It has been an incredible year for Microsoft Threat Intelligence.
