Improve threat detection with hids and alien vault usm
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
IDS for Security Analysts: How to Get Actionable Insights from your IDS
IDS for Security Analysts: How to Get Actionable Insights from your IDSAlienVault The document discusses best practices for intrusion detection systems (IDS). It recommends a three phase process: collection, evaluation, and tuning. In the collection phase, an IDS gathers baseline data for 2 weeks. In evaluation, valuable and actionable events are identified based on policy, risk, and environment. Trending helps eliminate normal activity. Tuning removes unnecessary events to reduce false positives and save time through threshold adjusting and awareness of network details. Updates may require periodic re-evaluation and tuning to account for changes.

How Malware Works
How Malware WorksAlienVault 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!)

Alien vault sans cyber threat intelligence
Alien vault sans cyber threat intelligenceAlienVault Over the last several years, we have seen that attackers are innovating much faster than defenders are. This trend is steering many companies to look towards cyber threat intelligence (CTI) to help them navigate today’s threatening landscape. SANS conducted a survey this year to explore who is using cyber threat intelligence and how they are using it. The survey collected responses from 326 IT professionals working in a variety of industries, in all sizes and from many different regions. 69% of the respondents reported implementing CTI to some extent, with only 16% planning not to pursue CTI in their environments. Which side of this percentage do you fall into? The infographic below provides some of the key questions to ask when getting started with threat intelligence, along with data from the SANS survey to show you how others are using threat intelligence.
The State of Incident Response - INFOGRAPHIC
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

Modern vs. Traditional SIEM
Modern vs. Traditional SIEM Alert Logic Security information and event management (SIEMS) tools provide a robust collection of data sources that can help companies take a more proactive approach to preventing threats and breaches.
However, implementing a SIEM often brings the challenges of a lengthy implementation, costly investment and the need for skilled security analysts to maintain it. Also, many SIEMs have been used in on-premise data centers, so what steps will you need to take if you want your SIEM to move with your data into the cloud?

SIEM for Beginners: Everything You Wanted to Know About Log Management but We...AlienVault This document provides an overview of log management and security information and event management (SIEM). It explains that SIEM systems evolved from separate technologies like log management systems, security log/event management, security information management, and security event correlation. A SIEM system provides centralized log collection, normalization, storage, and analysis. It allows security events from different systems to be correlated to detect patterns and automated threats. The document emphasizes that SIEM provides context around security events to help analysts investigate incidents.

Automating Critical Security Controls for Threat Remediation and Compliance
Automating Critical Security Controls for Threat Remediation and ComplianceQualys Trends like the increased use of cloud computing by businesses and their vendors introduce new complexities in reducing risk and assessing security across the supply chain. Demonstrating continuous risk reduction and compliance with internal policies and external regulations, fixing violations and configuration drift, centrally managing exceptions, and documenting progress are all common challenges.
The Center for Internet Security’s (CIS) Critical Security Controls (CSCs) were selected and prioritized by leading security experts to stop today’s most common and serious cyber threats. By implementing these controls, organizations can improve their security posture and reduce the risk of threats to critical assets, data, and network infrastructure.
In this webcast SANS Senior Analyst John Pescatore and Tim White, Director of Product Management for Qualys Policy Compliance (PC), discuss how you can achieve continuous security and compliance, and leverage Qualys solutions to address all 20 CSCs.
The presentation encompasses:
• An overview of the CIS Critical Security Controls, including ongoing updates
• Success patterns organizations have demonstrated for using the controls to their advantage
• How an automation can reduce the staffing load to determine whether controls are in place and effective
• How to prioritize remediation efforts
• Real-world examples of recent attacks that leveraged misconfigured systems

Alien vault sans cyber threat intelligence
Alien vault sans cyber threat intelligenceAlienVault Over the last several years, we have seen that attackers are innovating much faster than defenders are. This trend is steering many companies to look towards cyber threat intelligence (CTI) to help them navigate today’s threatening landscape. SANS conducted a survey this year to explore who is using cyber threat intelligence and how they are using it. The survey collected responses from 326 IT professionals working in a variety of industries, in all sizes and from many different regions. 69% of the respondents reported implementing CTI to some extent, with only 16% planning not to pursue CTI in their environments. Which side of this percentage do you fall into? The infographic below provides some of the key questions to ask when getting started with threat intelligence, along with data from the SANS survey to show you how others are using threat intelligence.
The State of Incident Response - INFOGRAPHIC
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

Vulnerability Management: What You Need to Know to Prioritize Risk
Vulnerability Management: What You Need to Know to Prioritize RiskAlienVault Abstract:
While vulnerability assessments are an essential part of understanding your risk profile, it's simply not realistic to expect to eliminate all vulnerabilities from your environment. So, when your scan produces a long list of vulnerabilities, how do you prioritize which ones to remediate first? By data criticality? CVSS score? Asset value? Patch availability? Without understanding the context of the vulnerable systems on your network, you may waste time checking things off the list without really improving security.
Join AlienVault for this session to learn:
*The pros & cons of different types of vulnerability scans - passive, active, authenticated, unauthenticated
*Vulnerability scores and how to interpret them
*Best practices for prioritizing vulnerability remediation
*How threat intelligence can help you pinpoint the vulnerabilities that matter

Sexy defense
Sexy defenseIftach Ian Amit The document discusses strategies for maximizing home-field advantage in cybersecurity defense. It argues that defenders should flip the perspective of red team attackers by mapping assets and security issues, correlating internal and external threat data over time, and taking proactive measures like counterintelligence operations. Examples given include infiltrating hacker communities to booby-trap tools and using attackers' own tools against them. The presentation calls on vendors to develop integrative security products and defenders to own their security data and intelligence in order to focus defenses on real risks rather than compliance.
PCI DSS Simplified: What You Need to Know
PCI DSS Simplified: What You Need to KnowAlienVault Maintaining, verifying, and demonstrating PCI DSS compliance is far from a trivial exercise. Those 12 requirements often translate into a lot of manual and labor-intensive tasks – chasing down discrepancies in asset inventory spreadsheets, removing false positives from network vulnerability assessment reports, and weeding through log data trying to make sense of it all. In fact, you may need to consult at least a dozen different tools for those dozen requirements.

Memory forensics and incident response
Memory forensics and incident responseLondon School of Cyber Security This document discusses memory forensics and incident response. It notes that 46-58% of large organizational losses are due to insider threats, even though identifying offenders and recovering assets from insider incidents should be easier. However, in 40% of insider incidents, those responsible are never identified due to insufficient evidence. This is often because 61% of businesses do not have access to forensic technology or procedures. The document then outlines best practices for incident response, including collecting volatile memory data and using tools like Volatility to analyze RAM and identify intrusions. It also discusses challenges like anti-forensics programs and using direct memory access via FireWire to bypass passwords and collect passwords from memory.

Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.

During this free interactive workshop oriented for developers, engineers, and architects, we’ll cover how Rust’s unique language features and the Tokio async runtime enable high-performance application development.
As you explore key principles of designing low-latency systems with Rust, you will learn how to:
- Create and compile a real-world app with Rust
- Connect the application to ScyllaDB (NoSQL data store)
- Negotiate tradeoffs related to data modeling and querying
- Manage and monitor the database for consistently low latencies

Incident response live demo slides final
- 2. Agenda Investigations • What are they? • What questions can they answer? • Is the number 42 always relevant? Investigation Walk-Throughs • This won’t be all slides…we promise.. Recap
- 3. What is an Investigation? An Investigation is the act of ascertaining facts A careful examination Or simply it answers: “What do I do?” And there is a result……..sometimes
- 4. What Initiates an Investigation? Someone asks you • Hey I think PlayStation network is down? You see something unusual • Ever get that feeling someone is watching you? • Certain patterns of logs • New Assets Alarms! • More..
- 5. ..but what does it all mean?
- 6. What is an Alarm? An alarm is a pattern of activity that should be investigated • The logic that creates an alarm is customizable Inside a SIEM an alarm could be • A single event • A series of events • Event quantity • ..and more
- 7. Process of an Investigation Gather Information Follow the trail Look for Clues Determine severity
- 8. Am I Finished? Do you know what to do? What does the IRP say? Hint: no you aren’t
- 9. Document it! If it’s not in a Ticket– it didn’t happen!
- 10. Why is Documentation Important? Avoid Repetition Avoid Repetition (yes we repeated this) Share Information Liability Find patterns Find anomalies or outliers Find misconfigurations or unapproved changes
