Protective Measures Against China-linked Covert Networks
International cyber agencies provide new advice on protecting against covert networks linked to China.
Introduction
In recent years, international cyber agencies have increasingly warned about the threats posed by covert networks linked to China. These networks employ various tactics to conceal malicious activities.
New Advice
According to the latest reports from the NCSC (National Cyber Security Centre), organizations should map and baseline their edge device traffic, particularly VPN and remote access connections. This is crucial for detecting and preventing suspicious activities.
Dynamic Threat Filtering
Additionally, it is recommended to implement dynamic threat feed filtering that includes known indicators of covert networks. This measure can help identify and counter potential attacks early on.
Conclusion
Defending against the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of these networks requires a proactive approach. Organizations must continuously adapt and update their security strategies to counter evolving threats.
