Hunting for APT in network logs
2021-09-02, 10:00–13:00, Workshops

Network logs are one of the most efficient sources to hunt adversaries, but building good analytics capabilities require a deep understanding of benign activity and attacker behavior. This training focuses on detecting real-case attacks, tools and scenarios by the past year.

The training is highly interactive and retains a good balance between theory and a lot of hands-on exercises for the students to get used to the detection engineering methodology and prepare them to start implementing this at their organizations.
