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.

Your adversaries continue to attack and get into companies. You can no longer rely on alerts from point solutions alone to secure your network. To identify and mitigate these advanced threats, analysts must become proactive in identifying not just indicators, but attack patterns and behavior. In this workshop we will walk through a hands-on exercise with a real world attack scenario. The workshop will illustrate how advanced correlations from multiple data sources and machine learning can enhance security analysts capability to detect and quickly mitigate advanced attacks.

The Information Security Community on LinkedIn, with the support of Cybereason, conducted a comprehensive online research project to gain
more insight into the state of threat hunting in security
operation centers (SOCs). When the 330 cybersecurity and IT professionals were asked what keeps them up at night, many comments revolved around a central theme of undetected threats slipping through an organization’s defenses. Many
responses included “unknown” and “advanced” when
describing threats, indicating the respondents understand
the challenges and fear those emerging threats.

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.
Threat intelligence is information that informs enterprise defenders of adversarial elements to stop them.
It is information that is relevant to the organization, has business value, and is actionable.
If you having all data and feeds then data alone isn’t intelligence.

Managing & Showing Value during Red Team Engagements & Purple Team Exercises ...Jorge Orchilles
Join Jorge Orchilles and Phil Wainwright as they cover how to show value during Red and Purple Team exercises with a free platform, VECTR. VECTR is included in SANS Slingshot C2 Matrix Edition so you can follow along the presentation and live demos.
VECTR is a free platform for planning and tracking of your red and purple team exercises and alignment to blue team detection and prevention capabilities across different attack scenarios. VECTR provides the ability to create assessment groups, which consist of a collection of Campaigns and supporting Test Cases to simulate adversary threats. Campaigns can be broad and span activity across the kill chain or ATT&CK tactics, from initial access to privilege escalation and lateral movement and so on, or can be a narrow in scope to focus on specific defensive controls, tools, and infrastructure. VECTR is designed to promote full transparency between offense and defense, encourage training between team members, and improve detection, prevention & response capabilities across cloud and on-premise environments.
Common use cases for VECTR are measuring your defenses over time against the MITRE ATT&CK framework, creating custom red team scenarios and adversary emulation plans, and assisting with toolset evaluations. VECTR is meant to be used over time with targeted campaigns, iteration, and measurable enhancements to both red team skills and blue team detection capabilities. Ultimately the goal of VECTR is to help organizations level up and promote a platform that encourages community sharing of CTI that is useful for red teamers, blue teamers, threat intel teams, security engineering, any number of other cyber roles, and helps management show increasing maturity in their programs and justification of whats working, whats not, and where additional investment might be needed in tools and team members to bring it all together.

The Security Kung Fu Series was created as both a thought leadership and awareness campaign which ran from Q1 – Q2 2017. It was meant to educate attendees on the internal and external threats businesses face, and the compliance challenges many must endure. It also served to highlight the need for an array of software solutions from the SolarWinds Core IT Security Portfolio which can assist with these concerns.
A primary focus of the event was SolarWinds® Log & Event Manager which can contribute to greater IT security and assist businesses in meeting and maintaining compliance with a variety of compliance regimes.
Part 1: SIEM Solutions
In Part 1, we took an in-depth look at the cybersecurity climate businesses and currently facing and educated ourselves on the cybercrime industry as a whole. Using the Lockhead Martin Cyber Kill Chain® as an example, we discussed the role SIEM solutions play in identifying security threats and discussed the unique capabilities of such solutions to allow users to go back in time to conduct forensic analysis of security incidents and verified threats.

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”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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).

Do you want to learn how to model and simulate an electrical network from scratch in under an hour?
Then welcome to this PowSyBl workshop, hosted by Rte, the French Transmission System Operator (TSO)!
During the webinar, you will discover the PowSyBl ecosystem as well as handle and study an electrical network through an interactive Python notebook.
PowSyBl is an open source project hosted by LF Energy, which offers a comprehensive set of features for electrical grid modelling and simulation. Among other advanced features, PowSyBl provides:
- A fully editable and extendable library for grid component modelling;
- Visualization tools to display your network;
- Grid simulation tools, such as power flows, security analyses (with or without remedial actions) and sensitivity analyses;
The framework is mostly written in Java, with a Python binding so that Python developers can access PowSyBl functionalities as well.
What you will learn during the webinar:
- For beginners: discover PowSyBl's functionalities through a quick general presentation and the notebook, without needing any expert coding skills;
- For advanced developers: master the skills to efficiently apply PowSyBl functionalities to your real-world scenarios.
