ISSA Colorado Springs January 2026 Chapter Meeting

China’s advanced persistent threat (APT) actors, including Volt Typhoon, pose a significant risk to U.S. critical infrastructure and computer systems by employing living-off-the-land techniques that blend malicious activity with normal network operations. These stealthy tactics make detection challenging and enable long-term persistence within victim environments. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) will provide an overview of their published guidance, the background on why China has targeted the U.S., the tactics and techniques used by Volt Typhoon, and recommendations for detecting and defending against this threat.
