Host-based intrusion dection systems (HIDS) work by monitoring activity that is occurring internally on a host. HIDS look for unusual or nefarious activity by examining logs created by the operating system, looking for changes made to key system files, tracking installed software, and sometimes examining the network connections a host makes. AlienVault USM integrates HIDS with other key security controls to help you get the most out of HIDS, including:
Analyzing system behavior and configuration status to track user access and activity
Detecting system compromise, modification of critical configuration files (e.g. registry settings, /etc/passwd), common rootkits, and rogue processes
Correlating HIDS data with known IP reputation, vulnerability scans and more
Logging and reporting for PCI compliance

Alien vault sans cyber threat intelligenceAlienVault
Over the last several years, we have seen that attackers are innovating much faster than defenders are. This trend is steering many companies to look towards cyber threat intelligence (CTI) to help them navigate today’s threatening landscape. SANS conducted a survey this year to explore who is using cyber threat intelligence and how they are using it. The survey collected responses from 326 IT professionals working in a variety of industries, in all sizes and from many different regions. 69% of the respondents reported implementing CTI to some extent, with only 16% planning not to pursue CTI in their environments. Which side of this percentage do you fall into? The infographic below provides some of the key questions to ask when getting started with threat intelligence, along with data from the SANS survey to show you how others are using threat intelligence.
Learn the 6 practical steps every IT admin should take to ensure SIEM success in your environment. The promise of SIEM is clearly an essential one–better security visibility. Aggregate, correlate, and analyze all of the security-relevant information in your environment so that you can:
• Identify exposures
• Investigate incidents
• Manage compliance
• Measure your information security program
Unfortunately, going from installation to insight with a SIEM is a challenge. Join us for this 45-minute session to learn tricks for getting the most out of your SIEM solution in the shortest amount of time.
Security information and event management (SIEMS) tools provide a robust collection of data sources that can help companies take a more proactive approach to preventing threats and breaches.
However, implementing a SIEM often brings the challenges of a lengthy implementation, costly investment and the need for skilled security analysts to maintain it. Also, many SIEMs have been used in on-premise data centers, so what steps will you need to take if you want your SIEM to move with your data into the cloud?
NetStandard CTO John Leek presents 20 Critical Security Controls for the Cloud at Interface Kansas City. This presentation is based on controls set forth by the SANS Institute. Learn more at http://www.netstandard.com.

Over the last several years, we have seen that attackers are innovating much faster than defenders are. This trend is steering many companies to look towards cyber threat intelligence (CTI) to help them navigate today’s threatening landscape. SANS conducted a survey this year to explore who is using cyber threat intelligence and how they are using it. The survey collected responses from 326 IT professionals working in a variety of industries, in all sizes and from many different regions. 69% of the respondents reported implementing CTI to some extent, with only 16% planning not to pursue CTI in their environments. Which side of this percentage do you fall into? The infographic below provides some of the key questions to ask when getting started with threat intelligence, along with data from the SANS survey to show you how others are using threat intelligence.
Learn the 6 practical steps every IT admin should take to ensure SIEM success in your environment. The promise of SIEM is clearly an essential one–better security visibility. Aggregate, correlate, and analyze all of the security-relevant information in your environment so that you can:
• Identify exposures
• Investigate incidents
• Manage compliance
• Measure your information security program
Unfortunately, going from installation to insight with a SIEM is a challenge. Join us for this 45-minute session to learn tricks for getting the most out of your SIEM solution in the shortest amount of time.
Security information and event management (SIEMS) tools provide a robust collection of data sources that can help companies take a more proactive approach to preventing threats and breaches.
However, implementing a SIEM often brings the challenges of a lengthy implementation, costly investment and the need for skilled security analysts to maintain it. Also, many SIEMs have been used in on-premise data centers, so what steps will you need to take if you want your SIEM to move with your data into the cloud?

The Evolution of IDS: Why Context is KeyAlienVault
As security teams today become more focused on improving their detection and response capabilities, they're having to revisit technologies they rely on, as well as how they're using those technologies to combat threats and improve security posture. Few technologies have played a bigger role in detection and response than intrusion detection and prevention systems. Today these tools are considered "must have" controls for security and compliance, but are we using them effectively? Are we getting the right alerts, and looking for the right events and patterns in network traffic? How can we more effectively correlate data from IDS and IPS with other information and build a better security capability based on internal and external threat intelligence? In this webcast, we'll revisit the IDS and its evolution as a mainstay technology in our security arsenal. We'll also look at where teams are taking these tools using more effective processes and technology to improve detection and response significantly.
How to Leverage Log Data for Effective Threat DetectionAlienVault
Event logs provide valuable information to troubleshoot operational errors, and investigate potential security exposures. They are literally the bread crumbs of the IT world. As a result, a commonly-used approach is to collect logs from everything connected to the network "just in case" without thinking about what data is actually useful. But, as you're likely aware, the "collect everything" approach can actually make threat detection and incident response more difficult as you wade through massive amounts of irrelevant data.
Join us for this session to learn practical strategies for defining what you actually need to collect (and why) to help you improve threat detection and incident response, and satisfy compliance requirements. In this session, you'll learn :
*What log data you always need to collect and why
*Best practices for network, perimeter and host monitoring
*Key capabilities to ensure easy, reliable access to logs for incident response efforts
*How to use event correlation to detect threats and add valuable context to your logs
Best Practices for Leveraging Security Threat IntelligenceAlienVault
The state of threat intelligence in the information security community is still very immature. Many organizations are still combating threats in a reactive manner, only learning what they're dealing with, well...when they're dealing with it. There is a wealth of information in the community, and many organizations have been gathering data about attackers and trends for years. How can we share that information, and what kinds of intelligence are most valuable? In this presentation, we'll start with a brief overview of AlienVault's Open Threat Exchange™ (OTX), and then we'll discuss attack trends and techniques seen in enterprise networks today, with supporting data from AlienVault OTX. We'll also take a look at some new models for collaboration and improving the state of threat intelligence going forward.

The State of Incident Response - INFOGRAPHICAlienVault
Incident Response (IR) teams are designed to detect, investigate and, when necessary, perform remediation in the event of a critical incident. The results of the 2015 SANS Incident Response Survey provides a picture of what IR teams are up against today—the types of attacks they see, what defenses they have in place to detect and respond to these threats, and their perceived effectiveness and obstacles to incident handling.
Some key challenges reported by responders to the survey were:
66% cited a skills shortage as being an impediment to effective IR:
54% cited budgetary shortages for tools and technology
45% noted lack of visibility into system or domain events
41% noted a lack of procedural reviews and practice
37% have trouble distinguishing malicious events from nonevents

At first glance SIEM's appliances and software look like an event aggregator. While a SIEM has the advantage of aggregating logs what puts them apart from the event aggregator market are the correlation engines.
The correlation engines allow the ability to uncover threats/attacks across multiple related events which by themselves would not be a cause for alarm.

What is a SIEM?
5
Security information and event management (SIEM) is the technology that can tie all your systems together and give you a comprehensive view of IT security.
IT security is typically a patchwork of technologies – firewalls, intrusion prevention, endpoint protection, threat intelligence and the like – that work together to protect an organization’s network and data from hackers and other threats. Tying all those disparate systems together is another challenge, however, and that’s where SIEM can help.
SIEM systems manage and make sense of security logs from all kinds of devices and carry out a range of functions, including spotting threats, preventing breaches before they occur, detecting breaches, and providing forensic information to determine how a security incident occurred as well as its possible impact.
Using SIEM
How do SIEM Products help the following Security concerns?
Countermeasures to detect attempts to infect internal system
Identification of infected systems trying to exfiltrate information
Mitigation of the impact of infected systems
Detection of outbound sensitive information ( DLP)
6
These questions are a core part of a companies overall security architecture. If a SIEM isn't providing answers or solutions to these questions what is it doing?
If you aren't using your SIEM to solve issues like these it may just be an expensive log aggregator/collection system sitting in your network collecting dust.
SIEM Advantages
Correlation of data from multiple systems and from different events detecting security and operational conditions
Anomaly detection by using a baseline of events over time to find deviations from expected or normal behavior
Comprehensive view into an environment based on event types, protocols, log sources, etc

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.

Editor's Notes
Predictability of USM platform and security data: Ownership of the built-in data sources and management platform, coupled with unmatched security expertise delivered by the AlienVault Labs team of security experts, provides effective security controls and seamlessly integrated threat intelligence for any environment
AlienVault Labs threat research team spends countless hours mapping out the different types of attacks, the latest threats, suspicious behavior, vulnerabilities and exploits they uncover across the entire threat landscape. They leverage the power of OTX, the world’s largest crowd-sourced repository of threat data to provide global insight into attack trends and bad actors. This eliminates the need for IT teams to conduct their own research on each threat.
They provide Specific, Relevant, and Actionable Threat Intelligence– such as, Over 2,000 predefined correlation directives, eliminating the need for customers to create their own, which is one of the primary sources of frustration with other SIEM products. Besides correlation directives, the AlienVault Labs Threat Intelligence regularly publishes threat intelligence updates to the USM platform in the form of IDS signatures, vulnerability audits, asset discovery signatures, IP reputation data, data source plugins, and report templates.
