Cyber threat intelligence: maturity and metricsMark Arena
From SANS Cyber Threat Intelligence Summit 2016. What are the characteristics of a mature cyber threat intelligence program, and how do you develop meaningful metrics? Traditionally, intelligence has been about providing decision
support to executives whilst the field of cyber threat intelligence supports this customer, and network defenders, who have different requirements. By using the intelligence cycle, this talk will
seek to help attendees understand how they can identify what a mature intelligence program looks like and the steps to take their program to the next level.
Presentation talks about introduction to MITRE ATT&CK Framework, different use cases, pitfalls to take care about.. Talk was delivered @Null Bangalore and @OWASP Bangalore chapter on 15th February 2019.
MITRE ATT&CK is quickly gaining traction and is becoming an important standard to use to assess the overall cyber security posture of an organization. Tools like ATT&CK Navigator facilitate corporate adoption and allow for a holistic overview on attack techniques and how the organization is preventing and detecting them. Furthermore, many vendors, technologies and open-source initiatives are aligning with ATT&CK. Join Erik Van Buggenhout in this presentation, where he will discuss how MITRE ATT&CK can be leveraged in the organization as part of your overall cyber security program, with a focus on adversary emulation.
Erik Van Buggenhout is the lead author of SANS SEC599 - Defeating Advanced Adversaries - Purple Team Tactics & Kill Chain Defenses. Next to his activities at SANS, Erik is also a co-founder of NVISO, a European cyber security firm with offices in Brussels, Frankfurt and Munich.
Cyber Threat Intelligence is a process in which information from different sources is collected, then analyzed to identify and detect threats against any environment. The information collected could be evidence-based knowledge that could support the context, mechanism, indicators, or implications about an already existing threat against an environment, and/or the knowledge about an upcoming threat that could potentially affect the environment.

How to Hunt for Lateral Movement on Your NetworkSqrrl
Once inside your network, most cyber-attacks go sideways. They progressively move deeper into the network, laterally compromising other systems as they search for key assets and data. Would you spot this lateral movement on your enterprise network?
In this training session, we review the various techniques attackers use to spread through a network, which data sets you can use to reliably find them, and how data science techniques can be used to help automate the detection of lateral movement.
ATTACKers Think in Graphs: Building Graphs for Threat IntelligenceMITRE - ATT&CKcon
From MITRE ATT&CKcon Power Hour January 2021
By Valentine Mairet, Security Researcher, McAfee
The MITRE ATT&CK framework is the industry standard to dissect cyberattacks into used techniques. At McAfee, all attack information is disseminated into different categories, including ATT&CK techniques. What results from this exercise is an extensive repository of techniques used in cyberattacks that goes back many years. Much can be learned from looking at historical attack data, but how can we piece all this information together to identify new relationships between threats and attacks? In her recent efforts, Valentine has embraced analyzing ATT&CK data in graphical representations. One lesson learned is that it is not just about merely mapping out attacks and techniques used into graphs, but the strength lies in applying different algorithms to answer specific questions. In this presentation, Valentine will showcase the results and techniques obtained from her research journey using graph and graph algorithms.
Talking about Next-Gen Security Operation Center for IDNIC+APJII as representative from IDSECCONF. People-Centric SOC requires lot of investment on human in terms of quantity and quality, unfortunately, (good) IT security people are getting rare these days. Organisation need to put their investments more on technology, as in Industry 4.0, machines are getting more advanced to support Human on doing continuous and repetitive task.
Moving from “traditional” to next-gen SOC require proper plan, thats what this talk was about.
Building a Successful Internal Adversarial Simulation Team - Chris Gates & Ch...Chris Gates
Brucon 2016
The evolution chain in security testing is fundamentally broken due to a lack of understanding, reduction of scope, and a reliance on vulnerability “whack a mole.” To help break the barriers of the common security program we are going to have to divorce ourselves from the metrics of vulnerability statistics and Pavlovian risk color charts and really get to work on how our security programs perform during a REAL event. To do so, we must create an entirely new set of metrics, tests, procedures, implementations and repeatable process. It is extremely rare that a vulnerability causes a direct risk to an environment, it is usually what the attacker DOES with the access gained that matters. In this talk we will discuss the way that Internal and external teams have been created to simulate a REAL WORLD attack and work hand in hand with the Defensive teams to measure the environments resistance to the attacks. We will demonstrate attacks, capabilities, TTP’s tracking, trending, positive metrics, hunt integration and most of all we will lay out a road map to STOP this nonsense of Red vs BLUE and realize that we are all on the same team. Sparring and training every day to be ready for the fight when it comes to us.
MITRE ATT&CKcon 2018: Hunters ATT&CKing with the Data, Roberto Rodriguez, Spe...MITRE - ATT&CKcon
With the development of the MITRE ATT&CK framework and its categorization of adversary activity during the attack cycle, understanding what to hunt for has become easier and more efficient than ever. However, organizations are still struggling to understand how they can prioritize the development of hunt hypothesis, assess their current security posture, and develop the right analytics with the help of ATT&CK. Even though there are several ways to utilize ATT&CK to accomplish those goals, there are only a few that are focusing primarily on the data that is currently being collected to drive the success of a hunt program.
This presentation shows how organizations can benefit from mapping their current visibility from a data perspective to the ATT&CK framework. It focuses on how to identify, document, standardize and model current available data to enhance a hunt program. It presents an updated ThreatHunter-Playbook, a Kibana ATT&CK dashboard, a new project named Open Source Security Events Metadata known as OSSEM and expands on the “data sources” section already provided by ATT&CK on most of the documented adversarial techniques.

Ensuring Cyber Security Resilience with a Skilled Workforce Zeshan Sattar
Cyber-attacks are increasing in frequency and effectiveness. The threat landscape, threat actors and tools employed are many and varied. But how have the threats evolved and what does the future evolution look like? CompTIA will describe the past, present and future evolution of Cyber Security threats and how organisations are trying to keep pace by building capability to defend against these threats. This presentation focuses on equipping your staff with the right skills to address these ever-changing challenges and what might the future shape of Cyber Teams look like.
Victims of damaging cyber breaches make the news every week – don’t become one of them! The rate of breaches continues to go up every year and it is not just experienced by large companies. Companies need to have the ability to: View “Holistic attack surface”,2. Mission realization, and 3.Kill the threat easily 60% of breached organizations included in the 2015 Verizon DBIR were initially compromised within minutes, and yet for most of those organizations it took hundreds of days to detect the intruders. Fortunately, an intrusion does not equal a breach. In fact, there are usually several steps that typically follow an initial compromise before the bad guys get away with the goods or disrupt a critical service. Detecting early warning signs such as an initial system compromise, command and control activity or suspicious lateral movement of intruders can provide the necessary lead time to respond and defuse. Logrhythm help organizations reduce MEAN TIME TO DETECT & MEAN TIME TO RESPOND. Omar Barakat, Regional Channel Manager – Middle East, Turkey & Africa, Logrhythm Threat Life Cycle Management
With more than 50,000 new malware created every day organisations can no longer afford to risk the financial and reputational impacts of a security or data breach, which can be too much for a business to recover from. Because of this, IT managers face increasing scrutiny and pressure from CEOs, managing directors and boards to prove that they are keeping the organisation secure.
The changing threat landscape means organisations need to be vigilant and smarter about security. While businesses still face threats from infected devices and malware, attackers have also moved beyond that. For example, there is an increasing number of targeted email attacks with cyber criminals spending time to monitor communications so they can imitate emails that are so sophisticated that even relatively savvy users will open them.
This webinar will explore the building blocks required to ensure you have the roadmap required to best protection against cyber attacks. We will provide you with a high level view of the following topics:
· Audit and discovery – What are your weaknesses and are you compliant?
· Education – Do your employees know when not to open that attachment?
· Policy – Do you have the right policies for your industry?
· Technology – Where to start and what has changed?

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck

Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.

4. Why Does CTI Matter?
CyberThreat Intelligence (CTI) can simply be put as
follows:
“Analyzed information about the hostile intent
, capability and opportunity of an adversary that satisfy an
objective.”
Focus on Policy Maker Concern Conscious EffortTo Avoid Biases UseOutside ExpertsWhen Needed
Don’t try to be a Perfectionist Structured Analytical Techniques
(SATs)
Threat Intelligence Life-Cycle
5. Utilize Your Threat Models
▪ Tactics – High level Approach to achieve the goals
▪ Techniques – One step down, How the goals will be
achieved ?
▪ Procedure – Granular view into the steps taken to
achieve the goal

Editor's Notes
Cyber Threat Intelligence
Point 5
The UK Signal Intelligence Agency (GCHQ) has the capability & opportunity to pose a significant threat to the Canadian Intelligence Operations. However there is no hostile intent. So they are not a threat ATM.
The Term ATM is very important for Threat Intelligence. Time plays a huge role is determining an Intelligence data is valid or not on that specific engagement.
PROMETHIUM
Passive Defense - Provide protection without constant human interaction
Active Defense – Analysts monitor for, respond to & learn from Adversaries interact to the network
Intelligence Team - Collecting Data, exploiting it & Producing IOC
ROI – Return on investment
VERIS FRAMEWORK – vocabulary for event sharing, recording & incident sharing
- DBIR (Data breach investigation report)
- Four A’s
- Action
- Assets
- Actors
- Attribute
- By "internal information" do you mean analyze incidents internally and derive intelligence out of that on what threats are getting past your defenses the most?
Would you also analyze external trending threats that are relevant to your industry/external facing assets to know where to focus your defensive efforts on? Eg. Oracle Web Logic Vuln being exploited against all externally facing assets by auto-exploit bots, then focus should be shifted to that if you have oracle web logic servers exposed to the internet?
CoA : Course of Action
CactusTorch
One fileless threat, CactusTorch, uses the DotNetToJScript technique, which loads and executes malicious .NET assemblies straight from memory. These assemblies are the smallest unit of deployment of an application, such as a .dll or .exe. As with other fileless attack techniques, DotNetToJScript does not write any part of the malicious .NET assembly on a computer’s hard drive; hence traditional file scanners fail to detect these attacks.
CactusTorch, can execute custom shellcode on Windows systems.
