Developing and Using Cybersecurity Threat Intelligence

Presented at DeepSec 2013 „Secrets, Failures, and Visions“, Unknown date/time (Unknown duration)

Traditional security defense tools are increasingly unable to protect against emerging and current attacks. The modern attacker has adopted advanced tools and techniques that are unable to be stopped with traditional firewalls, intrusion detection and anti-virus. Meanwhile, dedicated attackers are attempting intrusions over months and years while going undetected to steal valuable information, trade secrets and financial information. Defense techniques that leverage information about attackers and their techniques, however, provide the ability to greatly enhance the security of an organization. Modern defenses can integrate intelligence and counterintelligence information which greatly increases the ability to keep attackers out and to detect their presence quickly. This course will teach students about the tools they can use to gain insight into attackers and to integrate them into their organization. This course will be a mix of lecture and hands-on training so students will be equipped on day one to go back to their work and start using threat intelligence to protect their networks.
