About this event…

ISACA Illini has heard your request for learning events that feature technical content and our January events are our way of gauging the true level of interest within our membership community. 

Please Note: Although there is benefit to attending both Wednesday’s and Thursday’s event, these events can also be attended as stand-alones. (Click here for more information about Wednesday’s event.)

About our presentation…

Given the complex breaches occurring a regular basis, the chances that hidden threats are already lurking in your network are high. Many organizations are still focused on deploying perimeter defenses, endpoint agents, and other point security products…but, in many cases, these prevention systems on their own cannot be used to detect intruders that are skilled at moving laterally around your network, masking their attacks as normal activity.

We’ll spend our time in this workshop finding out the answers to these questions:

  • What is cyber threat hunting and what, specifically, is it not?
  • Why would you want to hunt?
  • What are your security tools failing to identify?
  • What skillset is needed to perform cyber threat hunting?
  • What methodologies are used to for cyber threat hunting?
  • How does manual searching differ from automated searching?
  • How does analytic vs. situational-awareness vs. intelligence driven cyber threat hunting (i.e. machine learning, UEBA, etc.) vary?
  • What tools and cyber threat hunting solution providers are out there?
