Context:
To secure systems, there is a need to understand attacking
techniques which reached an unprecedented level of sophistication. For example,
the Stuxnet malware which caused the physical destruction of 1000 out of 9000
centrifuges in Iran's Nuclear facilities delaying the nuclear program by at
least 3 years, is the job of a team of well-funded hackers working during
several months/years.
In this context, organizations need to be pro-active and
develop skills and expertise to detect and contain such attacks in a timely
manner.
