Cybersecurity firm IntSights has released its latest research white paper ‘Selling breaches: The Transfer of Enterprise Network Access on Criminal Forums’ which delves into the sale and purchase of unauthorized access to compromised enterprise networks and how such activities have become a significant enabler for criminal cyberattacks, particularly ransomware infections.

With the shift to a remote workforce, the resulting increase in the use of remote access tools and services have given attackers more attack surface to exploit and fuelled the marked increase in the sale of access to compromised networks.

Paul Prudhomme, head of threat intelligence at IntSights shared some of the highlights of the report during a dialogue with PodChats for FutureCIO.
