Cyberattacks on virtualized environments are escalating—and hypervisors are at the center of it all. From MITRE to MGM Casinos ($100M) and Johnson Controls ($51M), recent breaches have shown just how devastating a ransomware attack can be on virtualization infrastructure.
The challenge? Protecting hypervisors from attack is difficult due to their architecture and the flexibility they provide an environment. Attackers exploit this flexibility with stealthy reconnaissance and “living off the land” techniques to deploy ransomware under the radar.
Presented by Nathan Montierth, Threat Intel Lead
Nathan Montierth will walk you through the latest attack trends and provide expert insights on how to detect, mitigate, and prevent hypervisor-targeted threats before they wreak havoc.
In this webcast with VMUG, you’ll experience:
✅ A breakdown of real-world hypervisor breaches and what made them so destructive
✅ A deep dive into a custom-built Remote Access Trojan (RAT) designed to target hypervisors
✅ How attackers use reconnaissance and built-in tools for stealthy ransomware execution
✅ Key takeaways for securing your hypervisor environment against modern threats
