Hi everyone. Thank you for attending today's session to learn how to defend against Java ghost. Let's jump right into it. So during today's session, we are going to be doing a deep dive into the thread actor group Java Gos. This group has been around for a while and so we're going to discuss the evolution of the group as well as their overall history. From there, we're going to cover the group's tactics, techniques, and procedures by walking through their attack path. The group uses uh unique cloudnative attack techniques. And so, it's important to understand their attack path and how they exploit cloud environments in order to understand how to detect and protect against them. Javagos TTPs are absolutely used by other cloud threat actors when targeting cloud environments. And so these det…
