How often did you find yourself analyzing a security alert only to find out you had already hunted similar alerts in the past? This Déjà vu happens quite often to cybersecurity analysts who work in a SOC. What if we told you that most security alerts can be assigned with a confidence score automatically, letting you, the analyst, focus on the most serious alerts? In this talk, we will present tools and techniques to automate human cybersecurity analyst by leveraging knowledge of past incidents, current security posture and a dash of crowdsourcing. Under the hood, we generate a ”tailor-made” hunting graph based on diverse data sources and security know-how which enables us to extract meaningful insights. By applying custom logic, aggregations and data science we will illustrate how to uncover patterns within the insights and assign a confidence score with appropriate reasoning to the alert, automatically.
An Introduction to PowerShell for Security AssessmentsEnclaveSecurity
With the increased need for automation in operating systems, every platform now provides a native environment for automating repetitive tasks via scripts. Since 2007, Microsoft has gone “all in” with their PowerShell scripting environment, providing access to every facet of the Microsoft Windows operating system and services via a scriptable interface. Not only can administrators completely administer and audit an operating system from this shell, but most all Microsoft services, such as Exchange, SQL Server, and SharePoint services as well. In this presentation James Tarala of Enclave Security will introduce students to using PowerShell scripts for assessing the security of thee Microsoft services.

Improve threat detection with hids and alien vault usmAlienVault
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
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
Do these challenges sound familiar? Download the full survey to learn more about how other organizations are approaching incident response, along with best practices and advice. Visit http://ow.ly/R3Cr0

With malware accounting for at least 40% of all breaches, knowing how malware works can be an extremely valuable asset in your threat detection cache – especially for the incident responder. According to Verizon’s 2013 Data Breach Investigations Report, “Malware and hacking still rank as the most common [threat] actions”. In general, malware can range from being simple annoyances like pop-up advertising to causing serious damage like stealing passwords and data or infecting other machines on the network.
Malware is as old as software itself and although there are new types of malware constantly under development, they generally fall into a few broad categories. Check out this SlideShare to learn how malware works, and what we believe are the most common types of malware you should be prepared for.
By learning how malware works and recognizing its different types, you’ll understand:
- How they find their way into your network
- How attackers control them remotely
- How they use your systems for nefarious purposes
- And most importantly, the security controls you need to effectively defend against and detect malware infections. (Hint: you need more than antivirus!)

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).

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Large Language Model (LLM) and it’s Geospatial Applications
