In order to effectively defend your organization, you must think about the offensive strategy as well. But before we get ahead of ourselves let’s talk briefly about the building blocks of a good offense. First is an architecture that is built around a security policy that is aligned with the business risk. Risk must be understood and a cookie cutter approach must be avoided here because again every organization is different and so are their risks.
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.

Definition
Gartner defines a SOC as both a team, often operating in shifts around the clock, and a facility dedicated to and organized to prevent, detect, assess and respond to cybersecurity threats and incidents, and to fulfill and assess regulatory compliance. The term "cybersecurity operation center "is often used synonymously for SOC.
A network operations center (NOC) is not a SOC, which focuses on network device management rather than detecting and responding to cybersecurity incidents. Coordination between the two is common, however.
A managed security service is not the same as having a SOC — although a service provider may offer services from a SOC. A managed service is a shared resource and not solely dedicated to a single organization or entity. Similarly, there is no such thing as a managed SOC.
Most of the technologies, processes and best practices that are used in a SOC are not specific to a SOC. Incident response or vulnerability management remain the same, whether delivered from a SOC or not. It is a meta-topic, involving many security domains and disciplines, and depending on the services and functions that are delivered by the SOC.
Services that often reside in a SOC are:
• Cyber security incident response
• Malware analysis
• Forensic analysis
• Threat intelligence analysis
• Risk analytics and attack path modeling
• Countermeasure implementation
• Vulnerability assessment
• Vulnerability analysis
• Penetration testing
• Remediation prioritization and coordination
• Security intelligence collection and fusion
• Security architecture design
• Security consulting
• Security awareness training
• Security audit data collection and distribution

SOC presentation- Building a Security Operations CenterMichael Nickle
Presentation I used to give on the topic of using a SIM/SIEM to unify the information stream flowing into the SOC. This piece of collateral was used to help close the largest SIEM deal (Product and services) that my employer achieved with this product line.
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?

Critical Capabilities for MDR Services - What to Know Before You BuyFidelis Cybersecurity
24/7 coverage and skills shortages for post breach detection and response are driving the need for Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Services. Analysts are predicting 15X growth for MDR services over the next few years as security leaders shift their focus from prevention to detection knowing attacks are evading existing defenses, often without malware by using macros and scripts.
Managed services often use MDR marketing messages and this sometimes results in their security monitoring services not meeting expectations. Buyers must learn what to look for in an MDR solution to avoid falling into this trap.

Lessons Learned Fighting Modern Cyberthreats in Critical ICS NetworksAngeloluca Barba
A presentation given in April 2019 in London during ICS Cyber Security Conference. I discuss an anonymized investigation conducted by our team to identify a real malware infection on a production network, the tools and techniques used to contain this threat and how to use threat intelligence and visibility to stay ahead of cyber adversaries.
Asset visibility and network baselining
Continuous network monitoring
Threat intelligence ingestion
Thorough incident response plans
Applied cognitive security complementing the security analyst Priyanka Aash
Security incidents are increasing dramatically and becoming more sophisticated, making it almost impossible for security analysts to keep up. A cognitive solution that can learn about security from structured and unstructured information sources is essential. It can be applied to empower security analysts with insights to qualify incidents and investigate risks quickly and accurately.

Cloud Security: Limitations of Cloud Security Groups and Flow LogsPriyanka Aash
Cloud Security Groups are the firewalls of the cloud. They are built-in and provide basic access control functionality as part of the shared responsibility model. However, Cloud Security Groups do not provide the same protection or functionality that enterprises have come to expect with on-premises deployments. In this talk we will discuss the top cloud risks in 2020, why perimeters are a concept of the past and how in the world of no perimitiers do Cloud Security groups, the "Cloud FIrewalls", fit it. We will practically explore Cloud Security Group limitations across different cloud setups from a single vNet to multi-cloud
Most organizations have good enterprise-level security policies that define their approach to maintaining, improving, and securing their information and information systems. However, once the policies are signed by senior leadership and distributed throughout the organization, significant cybersecurity governance challenges remain. In this workshop I will explain the transforming organizational security to strengthen defenses and integrate cybersecurity with the overall approach toward security governance, risk management and compliance.
The Internet is home to seemingly infinite amounts of confidential and personal information. As a result of this mass storage of information, the system needs to be constantly updated and enforced to prevent hackers from retrieving such valuable and sensitive data. This increasing number of cyber-attacks has led to an increasing importance of Ethical Hacking. So Ethical hackers' job is to scan vulnerabilities and to find potential threats on a computer or networks. An ethical hacker finds the weakness or loopholes in a computer, web applications or network and reports them to the organization. It requires a thorough knowledge of Networks, web servers, computer viruses, SQL (Structured Query Language), cryptography, penetration testing, Attacks etc. In this session, you will learn all about ethical hacking. You will understand the what ethical hacking, Cyber- attacks, Tools and some hands-on demos. This session will also guide you with the various ethical hacking certifications available today.

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.

In order to effectively defend your organization, you must think about the offensive strategy as well. But before we get ahead of ourselves let’s talk briefly about the building blocks of a good offense. First is an architecture that is built around a security policy that is aligned with the business risk. Risk must be understood and a cookie cutter approach must be avoided here because again every organization is different and so are their risks.
Layering on that architecture is passive defense, which is where the traditional security products would reside and the key for this stage is minimal human interaction, but clearly without the set it and forget it mentality again reinforced by the security policy.
Now we move on to being more proactive and actively defending. Utilizing a SIEM to help with data collection and presentation to a 24x7 monitoring team that is augmented with a incident response team to identify the areas of compromise, which include reverse engineering malware to identify how passive defenses and architecture did not detect the malware.
Building off an active defense we must infuse everything with intelligence and begin to go on missions to find the threats that have circumvented all control’s and defenses thus far. These are the unkown or undetected threats, not simply the “missed” threats as many times perceived. There are two facets to hunting, identify the threat against your organization and identify threats in your organization. Both aspects must be covered.
I’ll leave you with a good non-technical example of this, as a Atlanta Falcon fan and Atlantanian many of you probably witness the greatest comeback story from Tom Brady and the Patriots…...as amazing as that story is, the bigger question that all analysts were answering on Monday morning was, “How did the Falcon’s loose with that big of a lead?” Besides some amazing math and analysts that did calcuations to determine the probabilty of it happening it could be summarized best with “The Falcons forgot to play offense when they were up by 25pts.” So the question you should ask is, “Did you forget to play offense and have faith only in your defense?”
So what types of services should a organization look at to be more offense. To understand this I want to walk through the threat continuum which highlights that when greater visibility is achieved so is greater analytics and investigation. What I see is typically companies start with compliance focused tools and services. There is low visibilty and investigation capabilities here, but it meets most regulatory requirements and shows their organizational maturity in security.
As organizations mature they begin to invest in threat monitoring which would be part of the active defense category. This is the area of table steaks for threat detection, I would even consider this to be the minimum area to begin in a enterprise threat detection program.
The area all organizations should be investing in or have a roadmap too is the green area and is focused on high visibility, analytics, and investigation. This is where Intelligence and Offense can increase your organizations threat detection and most importantly protection by leveraging security orchestration.
Breaking down a few specifics in the green, we see there being two areas of threat hunting which would include a endpoint approach as well as a network based approach. It’s a 80-20 mix between the two of them. Also part of the hunting category is identity hunting which is comprised of actively looking for your adversaries via social media, forums, and the darkweb specifically. You must be actively seeking information that would allow you to better protect your organization. This is how you get proactive and don’t wait till they try to deploy that specially crafted compromise.
The key challenges to threat hunting is that our adversaries are constantly changing their behavior, however there are patterns that we can be aware of and look for. We know that a attacker is going to target systems, upload code, create a command and control channel, and ensure they can survive a reboot. This is a consistent behavior we can include in our hunts.
We then must look for anomalies that deviate from normal behavior, that is where tools like UEBA can be highly effective which can help detect unknown or previously unseen hostile activity and last we must look for lateral movements. And when we find infected systems, we remove them immediately.
I included a summary checklist that we use when conducting hunts for our clients.
Key here is that this is less about spotting malware and more about identifying hostile behavior and containing that behavior as quickly as possible.
I’ve talked about active defense, offense, and now hunting, So the question that must be addressed is, how do we successfully hunt?
First let’s break hunting down in two categories, automated and manual. So how do we get from manual to automated, because manual is expensive as well as time consuming. Manual hunting requires a high level of skills, which we know we are at a shortage in the market. Manual also isn’t scalable across all threats, many which are imminent. We want to automate the collection and presentation of the data to the greatest extent possible for the hunt.
So looking at the Hunting Maturity Model, we first begin with basic automated alerting, which again comes from that compliance focused mentality and basic active defense. Then we incorporate threat intel indicators into our searches that move into data analyst procedures for the hunters that were previously created. Next if we identify a new threat that wasn’t previously covered we create new data analysis procedures. Once these 4 steps are complete we move onto automation, where we automate the majority of the successful data analysis and our hunters can focus in on the results.
To recap, the key objectives to a successful hunt are focused goals, limiting the searches, constantly improving based on feedback, automating, and of course measuring your success.
