CyberLab’s Penetration Testing Team and Commercial Director Wayne Price delivered an attack simulation in front of over 30 Eastern Region Special Operations Unit (ERSOU) officers.
The audience was a mix of Cyber Protect officers providing signposting and advice and Cyber Pursue officers investigating cybercrime.
The CyberLab Penetration Testing Engineer, Alexandru Blanaru, showcased how an attacker can exploit multiple attack vectors to penetrate a network, escalate access, and breach valuable data.
John Greenwood, Cyber Protect Co-ordinator at ERSOU, said: "It is always great to collaborate with industry to ensure that, through shared learning, we remain at the forefront of protecting the region from cyber threats.
“The input from CyberLab helped our officers and investigators develop their skills around the complexities of different attack methodologies, and how they could be used by criminals.
Wayne Price, Commercial Director at CyberLab, added: “The cyber team at ERSOU are doing an amazing job operating in an incredibly complex and ever-evolving field and Digital Wild West – the Dark Web."
