Cyber attacks follow a distinct progression consisting of five crucial steps. The attacker initiates the process by conducting thorough reconnaissance to identify vulnerabilities within an organization’s attack surface. They then employ an Initial Attack Vector (IAV) to establish a foothold, eventually escalating privileges and moving laterally across the organization. The ultimate objective is to exfiltrate sensitive data and credentials, resulting in severe economic and reputational consequences for the targeted organization.

USP is disrupting this attack chain by focusing on identifying the crucial Initial Attack Vector. By providing actionable intelligence about this critical entry point, we effectively sever the attacker’s ability to progress further. This proactive approach significantly mitigates the potential damage caused by the attack, protecting your organization’s valuable assets, reputation, and overall security posture.
