The Digital Hustle: RaaS, EDR Killers, and the Cybercrime Business Model
from CISO Insights: Voices in Cybersecurity · host CISO Marketplace
RaaS (Ransomware-as-a-Service) has professionalized cybercrime, turning digital extortion into a resilient business where affiliates leverage sophisticated toolkits for high-stakes attacks on critical sectors. This episode details how threat actors circumvent defenses by compromising high-value systems like VMware ESXi hypervisors and Managed File Transfer solutions, and by utilizing EDR Killers to execute malicious actions undetected. We explore the necessary response, which involves employing advanced behavioral analysis, multi-factor authentication (MFA), network segmentation, and automated playbooks to dismantle the entire criminal supply chain.
