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.
