Removing haystacks to find needles: Playing to our strengths

Presented at BSides Austin 2017, May 5, 2017, 1 p.m. (60 minutes)

We all have been fighting the cyber war with SIEMs to detect all the known attacks. In reality, the attack landscape is changing everyday and we cannot predict all possible attacks ahead of time. As security experts we know our environment better than any attacker out there. We cannot ever possibly know all the bad things that have crawled into our environment, however, we certainly know about all known good things in our environment. Come learn about how we can put that knowledge into play and change the game from finding the ‘Needle in A HayStack' to ‘Removing Haystacks to Find Needles' with some real world customer case studies.
