Threat Hunting: More than blue, it’s a team sport

Presented at Diana Initiative 2023, Aug. 7, 2023, 2:30 p.m. (30 minutes)

Threat Hunting are where some of the most badass blue team members I know spend their time - but what if there was a way to support our blue friends without actually being in the Blue Team? I want to take you beyond our beloved Defenders, and show you how many different domains can be involved in developing and tracking our threat hunts, creating repeatable workflows that involve a collaborative approach, and where different skills can be the difference in a successful hunt experience. Threat Modelling, Data Science and Project Management can be all the difference. This talk will help you “Lead the Change” by getting more expertise involved, accelerating learning, which lead to better outcomes for all involved.

    I’m an Offensive & Application Security specialist who loves to build things and find creative ways to break them. When I’m not developing attacks, I’m teaching how to protect against people like me. I bring red team curiosity into a collaborative approach by redefining purple by highlighting the value in perspectives beyond what we find traditionally red and blue. I’ve had a diverse background in technology - software engineering, computer science, teaching, designing, and co-founder of a business and I’ve always been interested in the human aspect of technology. Discovering how to improve security processes, tackling complex problems, and introducing secure software development practices. I love going detailed and technical, diving deep into problems when I’m doing vulnerability research, threat assessments, breaking video games, and even woodworking! I’m determined to uplift people with diverse perspectives in Security, while learning from everyone I meet.
