Attack Background

Before an attacker can access an FTP server that contains valuable information, they must first acquire valid credentials. A brute force attack is a method for guessing a weak user password. Brute force attacks can occur manually through trial and error or with password cracking tools.

Mitigation Options

Implement strong authentication methods for remote access services

Implement network segmentation and firewall policies to limit how devices can communicate and enforce security zones

Review authentication methods and enforce policies for secure credential creation and multi-factor authentication
