DETECTION OVERVIEW
Risk Factors
It is both relatively easy and common for attackers to gain access to network file shares to attempt data staging, which is the process of collecting and preparing data for exfiltration. Depending on the sensitivity of the files in the accessed file share, the impact can be devastating if important, proprietary, or customer data is leaked.
The system might change the risk score for this detection.
Kill Chain
Risk Score
60
After an attacker has compromised a workstation and obtained credentials, they can proceed with malicious activity that might be overlooked as normal file share activity. The primary difference is that the attacker is looking for sensitive or valuable information that they can leverage for malicious objectives, such as in a data breach.
Disable FTP unless required
Restrict file share access to only authorized IP addresses and hosts
Disable anonymous authentication on FTP servers unless required
Track suspicious activity by implementing strict audit controls on important documents
Implement strict rules for outbound traffic on devices that contain valuable data
