How Covert Adversaries Embed Themselves in Critical Infrastructure

Today’s most dangerous cyber threats to critical infrastructure are not loud - they are quiet, persistent and designed to be hidden. Rather than launching disruptive attacks, modern adversaries focus on long-term access, using valid credentials, native administrative tools, and normal network pathways to blend into day-to-day operations.

This webinar will examine how covert campaigns, such as recent nation-state activity targeting U.S. critical infrastructure, exploit legacy systems and visibility gaps between IT and operational environments. Attendees will learn why traditional endpoint and perimeter defenses often fail to detect these slow-moving threats, and where defenders commonly lack insight once an attacker is already inside the network. We will explore how network-level visibility and behavioral baselining can expose subtle indicators of compromise, including lateral movement and anomalous protocol use, without disrupting fragile or mission-critical systems.

Key takeaways from this webinar include:

Expose Hidden Threats: Learn how modern adversaries use legitimate credentials, native tools, and trusted network pathways to evade traditional security controls and maintain long-term access.
Close IT/OT Visibility Gaps: Understand how attackers exploit blind spots between IT and operational environments, and discover strategies to gain comprehensive visibility across critical infrastructure.
Detect and Stop Lateral Movement: Explore how network-level visibility and behavioral baselining can identify subtle indicators of compromise, uncover anomalous activity, and help contain threats without disrupting mission-critical operations.
