In the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, a new storm is brewing. The state-sponsored actor, Volt Typhoon, has been quietly infiltrating critical infrastructure organizations in the United States since mid-2021. This group, based in China, is known for its stealthy techniques and focus on espionage and information gathering. Their modus operandi? Living-off-the-land techniques and hands-on-keyboard activity. They blend into normal network activity, routing traffic through compromised small office and home office (SOHO) network equipment, including routers, firewalls, and VPN hardware. They use custom versions of open-source tools to establish a command and control (C2) channel over proxy to stay under the radar.

In the face of such threats, organizations need a robust and proactive cyber defense strategy. This is where DeepSeas comes in. DeepSeas offers a comprehensive suite of cyber defense solutions designed to help organizations prepare, prevent, and protect against such stealthy attacks.
