Unraveling the Russian Snake: Turla
Turla is a very old and prolific threat group that has been attributed to the Federal Security Services (FSB) of Russia publicly by a foreign intelligence agency. Operating since the late 90s, they have compromised major government entities with a heavy focus on embassies and former Soviet states. In this talk, I will detail the immense capabilities of Turla, which include use of Satellite networks for infrastructure and the ability to stay undiscovered on victim networks for several years. And with Russia actively engaged in open warfare in Ukraine, it's important for all organizations to stay informed and prepared against this specific threat group.
