Overview of the webinar

Core cyber threat intelligence (CTI) threat hunting terms, process, and outcomes - what is and is not in operations. Threat Hunting is a critical component of proactively reducing risk against sophisticated adversaries for augmenting SIEM/SOC/SOAR environments. It is a theory based analytical tradecraft embedded within the lifecycle of CTI, not the chasing of Indicators of Compromise (IoCs).  Participants of this course are able to work smarter, not harder, with actionable outcomes to move the needle in reducing risk in operations.

Why should you attend?

Today analysts are taught to chase IP addresses, hash values of a file, and other indicators, blindly thinking that reputational queries, correlation, and similar research and context will drive value in the research and response of potential threats. Tools, training and tradecraft of modern day watered down culture has created this negative outcome, which is far from effective or true cyber threat intelligence (CTI) threat hunting techniques, tools and tactics (TTPs). 

Challenge your way of thinking and doing to be and act like a Cyber Threat Intelligence analyst. Make sure you’re not introducing bias and assumptions or blindly chasing indicators that yield little to not value in your research and response. Think and do differently for amazing, timely and actionable outcomes to reduce risk. Join Ken Dunham, pioneer in the space who just wrote a standard on the topic of threat hunting and has performed thousands of criminal investigations, to learn how to threat hunt like a pro.
