From the perspective of threat blocking, it is particularly important to stop the hacker's first attack. Likewise, the first step is often the most expensive for an attacker. In daily work, people will encounter many types of attacks, but brute force cracking or credential stuffing attacks are often used as the first step of hackers. This is mainly due to its low technical content, but its high degree of automation requires relatively little effort for attackers.
At the same time, with the popularization of technologies such as AI in various fields, more and more hackers are also using AI in their attacks. For example, using AI to create attack scripts greatly reduces the threshold for attacks, improves the efficiency of attackers, and also results in a higher number of attacks. In addition, although the security protection methods against attacks such as brute force cracking and credential stuffing are continuously upgraded, attackers are also using AI to simulate more realistic login and browsing behaviors to bypass security protection verification.
So how do hackers disguise themselves, how do they brute force crack and attack the target? In the first phase of the Fortinet Demo Day series of actual attack and defense drills, the Fortinet D-Team (network security attack and defense team) truly restored the actual attack scene. Watch the video below to watch the attack and defense step by step!
Actual attack and defense Demo｜How to easily form a security closed loop with automatic response?
While simulating actual combat, D-Team also demonstrated Fortinet's automated security defense solution —the integration of FortiGate, FortiWeb, and FortiAnalyzer can provide you with a comprehensive closed-loop protection. FortiGate provides powerful firewall and threat intelligence, FortiWeb protects web applications from attacks, and FortiAnalyzer provides comprehensive log analysis and threat detection capabilities. Fortinet uses advanced technologies to counter increasingly sophisticated attacks and keep your network safe.
