Cymulate at Black Hat USA 2025
August 2–7 | Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas | Booth 1640 Visit Event Page →
At Black Hat USA 2025, Cymulate is empowering organizations to rethink their threat exposure strategies from the ground up. In today's landscape, it's not just about identifying threats—it's about understanding the adversary and staying resilient in the face of evolving tactics.
This year, Cymulate is spotlighting real-time threat actor profiling, live attack simulations and the emerging security risks introduced by AI agents. Visit us at Booth #1640 and experience firsthand how Cymulate makes cybersecurity actionable, measurable and continuously optimized.
Know Your APTs: From Understanding to Defense Optimization
In our featured technical session, Cymulate dives into the critical role of threat actor profiling using the case study of FIN7, a notorious financially motivated threat group.
Session Highlights
Through an in-depth analysis of FIN7's known targets, tactics and affiliations, you'll learn how to shift your security strategy from reactive to predictive.
Key Takeaways
- Target industries: Financial services, hospitality and retail
- Tactics: Spear-phishing, malicious document delivery, lateral movement
- Techniques: Carbanak malware, credential dumping, supply chain compromise
- Affiliations: Collaboration with ransomware gangs, including REvil
Live Attack Simulations
We'll demonstrate how to translate intelligence into resilience with a live simulation of FIN7's known techniques using Cymulate's platform:
- Phishing with malicious attachments
- LSASS credential dumping
- Persistence via scheduled tasks
- Command-and-control over HTTP/S
Each simulated attack will be analyzed on the spot, and we'll walk through how to fine-tune your detection and prevention tools to close gaps and reinforce your defenses.
