Real-World Attack Case Study: Misuse Of Keys And Certificates Bypass Critical Security Controls

Large corporations and organizations are currently under attack from organized hacking groups located around the world. These large-scale attack campaigns have demonstrated that many companies aren’t prepared to properly defend or remediate against these threats. Organizations need comprehensive key and certificate security that issues, protects, and rotates keys and certificates in data centers, on workstations and mobile devices, and even in the cloud. This white paper demonstrates a recent attack that used cryptographic keys and digital certificates and provides guidance on how to protect certificates and keys and quickly discover and remediate breaches.
