<div dir="ltr"><div>In my view, security improvements in organisations are driven by breaches and red team exercises/pentests. While breaches give hard lessons learned, red teams often don't and that's because we reward red teamers for a "domain admin" rather than longer term persistent access. </div><div><br></div><div>This is what I call reach for the sky/rocket launch: you get domain admin, get a screenshot of CEO's e-mail and declare job done. In reality, a good simulation would be to "stay airborne" - take a screenshot of CEO's e-mail/exfil PST every week.</div><div><br></div><div>That's not to say that there isn't a scenario where desctruction of assets is the end-goal of an attacker, but even then, I would argue that red teamers ought to put an .exe in autoruns for every PC they wish to have done a simulated wipe.</div><div><br></div><br clear="all"><div><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature">--<br>Konrads Smelkovs<br>Applied IT sorcery.</div></div>
