Blackpoint's Threat Operations Year in Review
Wil Santiago, VP of Threat Operations
Prior to joining Blackpoint, Wil was in the U.S Navy and had over nine years of private sector and government experience, tracking nation state advanced persistent threats (APT) and cybercriminals. He is experienced in threat hunting, pen testing, Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT), and cyberthreat analysis. In the spring of 2022, he was promoted from his role as the Director of Threat Operations.
In 2022, threat actors found many innovative ways to breach network environments. Human-operated ransomware attacks continued at a steady pace as threat actors were able to weaponize a plethora of exploits, leading to multiple zero-day vulnerabilities uncovered in 2022. Blackpoint Cyber observed multiple threat groups move from traditional offensive security tools to legitimate IT tools, repurposing them as malicious software.
Additionally, our SOC team responded to a sharp increase in infostealers meant to steal sensitive data from unwitting victims.
Finally, we observed many Microsoft 365 account compromises and an increase in targeted password spraying activity amongst our customer base. To hear all about it, tune into our Threat Operations Year in Review.
