Mitigating sophisticated attacks — the NuData way (part II)
This is the continuation of part I. If you haven’t read it, we suggest you start there for more attack types and fraud mitigation techniques. Now, where were we? Right, we just talked about spotting human-driven attacks. Let’s look at how to spot probing attacks that sneak in, to learn from your security parameters. 1. Spotting probing attacks Some of the most potentially damaging attacks we see on the NuData network start extremely small. By probing your defenses with a …
It’s getting harder and harder to tell humans and robots apart — at least when it comes to cyberattacks. Over the past few years, we’ve seen a rise in the number of attacks that imitate the behavior of normal human users. Compared to run-of-the-mill cybercrime tactics, these sophisticated attacks are much harder to detect. Some sophisticated automated scripts disguise themselves by emulating human keystroke patterns, mouse movements and other behavioral indicators. Other attackers go even further, hiring actual human workers 
PYMTS | June 14, 2021 – Fraud hasn’t only increased in amount, but it has gotten smarter, more sophisticated and harder to spot. Businesses should also get more sophisticated. They need to take a broader look at their transactions to learn how to spot this new, emerging face of fraud. “A human-driven attack isn’t as obvious as a basic large-scale attack,” says Dave Senci, Vice President of Product Development at NuData Security. “It’s a low and slow attack that is
