See all- RansomOps: How to run a RaaS - SecTalks SYD0x52 (82th)PwC Australia, Barangaroo, NS
# Presentation
Operating a RaaS is in many aspects similar to running a "X"aaS any other IT organisation. The operators are faced with challenges like people management, productivity monitoring, tools, infrastructure , training and payroll. However, when you add the anonymity, extreme OpSec and criminal nature to the mix in a high risk, high reward setting, these challenges impose a much higher cost if mismanaged.
This presentation is inspired by sheer interest in eCrime and ransomware, through research using attack reports, leaks and interviews with operators. It’s intended to shed light on the operating model of a RaaS as a business and an organisation, as well as success or failure stories by example, highlighting the behaviours, challenges and curious nature of the underground crews behind otherwise mysterious enemies of almost every IT organisation.
# Speaker: Hossein
Hossein is the Security Operations and Engineering Manager at Domain Group. He has worked in a variety of industries and worn different hats, ranging from appsec to vulnerability management, cloud security, compliance and risk management to what he loves most, digital forensics and incident response. He has seen the impact of ransomware first hand, working in SOCs at different organisations, including ones that were victims of ransomware attacks.
