Preparation – Advanced attackers do it, so should you

“Failure to prepare is preparing to fail.” Advanced cyber attackers know this as well as anyone. That’s why they devote an entire phase of any cyber attack to preparing for it. This phase is known as reconnaissance.

Some of the questions an attacker asks during recon are: Who are the key people in the company? Who does the company do business with? What information can I find that’s publicly available about the company?
The more information is uncovered, the more successful the attack will likely be.

On the attacker’s side, preparing for an attack is key to its success, and a motivated attacker may spend a significant amount of time doing so. The same is true for defenders. Being prepared and having a plan in place is key to staying afloat when an attack is detected.
