Threat Hunting like a Scientist

Presented at SAINTCON 2019, Oct. 22, 2019, 1:30 p.m. (30 minutes)

As environments become more complex and robust, how do threat hunters stay on their toes to remain quick and effective? The scientific method allows a threat hunter to develop a flow to their working process that ensures they remain on target while deepening their knowledge of the environment they're working in. This presentation will give an overview of how to adapt the scientific method to a threat hunting position on an IT security defense team, while providing a methodology for more effective detection of malicious actors.
