Activated Charcoal: Making sense of endpoint data

MITRE ATT&CK is a knowledge base and framework that lists and details adversary tactics and techniques within a common taxonomy. Having a taxonomy by itself has many valuable uses, such as providing a common vocabulary for exchanging information with others in the security community. But it also serves as a real technical framework for classifying your current detection efforts and identifying gaps where you are blind to certain types of attack behaviours.

Join Randy Franklin Smith of Ultimate Windows Security and Brian Coulson of LogRhythm for an introduction to MITRE ATT&CK, as well as:

- Share various ways to use ATT&CK, specifically in relation to designing, enhancing, assessing, and maintaining your security monitoring efforts.
- Discuss LogRhythm Labs’ project that includes aligning the ATT&CK matrix with log sources.
- Walk through an example of the MITRE attack process from start to finish while focusing on rule development and alignment in the LogRhythm NextGen SIEM Platform.

Brian Coulson, from LogRhythm Labs, is leading an outstanding project at LogRhythm Labs where-in he will show you how they’re aligning the ATT&CK matrix with log sources, including windows event logs (XML – Security, XML Sysmon 8.0 and XML-System). While the matrix is wide spread in what it monitors, there are effective ways to filter around common and relevant detection techniques and logs.

Often, when looking for malicious network traffic you either search for known bad or investigate anomalous traffic that doesn’t look normal. That reactive approach is time consuming, and potentially over-reliant on searching for larger concerns. Fortunately, new solutions use advanced analytics to proactively identify, enrich and alert on malicious traffic.

Why is this important?

Detecting known bad traffic is great when it works, but it’s a lot like signature-based AV (which is rigid and unable to detect unknown threats):
- Only really effective for widespread, generalised attacks – not so great for unique targeted attacks
- There’s an indefinite amount of time before the malicious traffic signature, domain name or IP makes it into the pattern updates and threat intel feeds from your vendors
- Detecting anomalous traffic can address the aforementioned weaknesses, but in practice it depends heavily on how – and how well – you define anomalous traffic, and how quickly (accurately) you can spot it.

Security practitioners are getting better by the day at looking for anomalies. Here’s just a few:

** Protocols
** Unrecognised port protocol numbers
** Malformed/non-compliant traffic compared to protocol expected on known port
** Protocols you don’t want or at least don’t expect to see in the given context
** High bandwidth usage for that protocol
** Traffic patterns
** Disproportionate inbound/outbound bandwidth usage for a given endpoint
** Suspicious Destination/Source IP combinations

In this real training for free webinar, we explore how to analyse your network so that you can learn and understand its traffic patterns and get a handle for what’s normal. You’ll then be able to take this information and look for anomalous traffic, build known-bad detections and make your network detection and response (NDR) technologies and efforts smarter.

As organisations advance their security posture and reduce risk, email security continues to be a critical concern. Between password leaks, brute force attacks and phishing, email credentials and actual email sends continue to be at jeopardy. Of further concern is that missing the initial compromise – often via email platforms – can enable the attacker to collect data and move laterally into more valuable environments.

In this webinar, Susana Hernansanz and Sam Straka – LogRhythm Technical Product Managers – will highlight the value of ingesting and monitoring O365 logs via your NextGen SIEM. With LogRhythm the data will be enriched, normalised and contextualised for efficient use in threat hunting and alarms.

Join the webinar to learn how:
• LogRhythm’s Phishing Intelligence Engine (PIE) – an open source tool provides an Active Defence framework built around O365
• Our platform ingests logs from the O365 Security & Compliance Centre
• Detecting auto-forwarding (via O365 logs) can highlight potential phishing attacks and potential victims

Building a Cybersecurity Architecture to Combat Today’s Risks:
Foundations, Visions, Testing and the Role of SIEM

The rapid development and adoption of cloud infrastructure, mobile workforces, IoT and other susceptible environments has mandated a reappraisal of security architecture. Modern organisations are recognising their security posture may not be keeping up with the threat landscape, and this leads to frightening discoveries around the safety of their data and networks.

Join Erik Bartholomy – a Security Architect at LogRhythm – and Eric Parent – CISO at Sonepar – to discover how security architecture is developing to face the current threat landscape. Failures in past layered approaches are frequent, and serve as valuable learning lessons on the importance of proactive monitoring and response.

During the webinar you will learn:

• How LogRhythm’s POC enabled Sonepar’s team to efficiently expedite threat detection, and improve their SOC and analyst efficiency

• The guiding principles and technology behind modern security frameworks and architecture, including the rise in popularity and value of the Zero Trust Framework

• How security architecture helps align IT security with business strategy and current threats

• Adapting architecture to accommodate different environments, including on-premises, cloud, and hybrid cloud

Effective security operations are the first line of defence when it comes to preventing cyberattacks. In order to accomplish this, organisations need a mature security program that leverages people, process, and technology to enable rapid detection and response.

Yet some organisations struggle with the overall effectiveness of their security operations. They lack a model for maturing their capabilities. A mature security operation enables threats to be detected earlier in the cyberattack lifecycle which is critical.

Join this webinar to discover LogRhythm's Security Operations Maturity Model (SOMM) which was developed to help organisations assess their level of maturity and plan for making improvements over time.

Organisations can use this model to evaluate their current security operations and develop a roadmap to achieve the level that is appropriate in the light of their resources, budget, and risk tolerance. You will also hear about the critical measures of security operations effectiveness.

Is your security team struggling with blind spots? Inundated with false negative alarms? You’re not alone. Legacy SIEMs hinder your ability to achieve your security objectives. Traditional solutions are limited and often lack the flexibility to scale and grow as your security needs increase. To combat today’s threats, you need a next-gen SIEM that leverages the architecture and security capabilities that are best suited to detect both known and unknown threats within your environment.

In this on-demand webcast, Christopher Crowley, senior instructor at SANS, and Barbara Filkins, senior analyst at SANS, join Sara Kingsley, senior product marketing manager at LogRhythm, to explain what comprises a modern SIEM solution and share tips for evaluating a next-gen SIEM platform.

In this webcast, you’ll learn:
- What makes a SIEM “next-generation”
- How to evaluate a next-generation SIEM
- The requirements that should guide your next-generation SIEM POC

Watch the webinar to discover the tools you need to evaluate and choose a next-gen SIEM that fits the requirements of your organisation.

In this real training for free session, we will discuss the minimum toolset and data requirements (and not necessarily volume) you need for successful threat hunting. We will take into account that while some of you can devote most of your time to threat hunting, most of us have limited time and resources for this activity. The good news is that threat hunting is flexible and anyone can do it, ranging from a few hours a week to full-time.

As an example, a great type of threat hunting is to look for unrecognised/suspicious executables running on your network. You can dip your toe in the water with this type of hunt with a small commitment of time and resources or you can dive in deep with a major data collection and analysis effort. Starting out simple means you just focus on EXE names; baseline the EXE names being executed on your network, and then perform a daily review of new EXE names showing up for the first time. You can get this information from event ID 4688 and the query capabilities are very light. But I think you’ll be surprised what you are able to learn and catch.

We will take the same approach with a total of 7 types of threat hunting:

Recognising suspicious software
Scripting abuse
AV follow-up
Lateral movement
Persistence
DNS abuse

In this webinar Randy Franklin Smith (UWS) and Greg Foss (LogRhythm) take a real-world example of a SIEM, in this case LogRhythm, and an IAM, Okta, and demonstrate how their integration matures an organisation’s security posture.

We’ll dive into how Security Analysts can make more informed decisions and perform better investigations when they have a full picture of IAM events spanning on-prem and cloud-based activity and how organisations can respond rapidly to security alarms with automatic protective measures.

In this webcast, discover how to:
• Visualise and analyse data from Okta in your SIEM
• Identify accounts that have compromised credentials by monitoring for successful authentications paired with failed multifactor logins
• Utilise the Okta API to automate security tasks
• Build upon identity monitoring to work towards a “Zero Trust” architecture

The Internet of Things (IoT) will generate, process and share more data than ever before. Data that needs to be secured.

The data generated by non-traditional sensors and systems can help detect anomalous behaviour and maintain the uptime we expect from the new wave of connected devices.

In this webinar, LogRhythm’s security experts will explain how this data can be used, with examples from a range of industries – from jet turbine manufacturers to in-home automation providers.

Join the webinar to discover:
1. How IoT devices blur the boundaries between IT security, operational technology and security in the physical world
2. How to gain visibility into the data generated by these devices – and what it really means
3. What customers have experienced through real-life use cases

Last year, 69 percent of surveyed organizations reported incidents that resulted in data theft — but not from external attacks. These threats came from inside the organization. User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) plays a crucial role in detecting the user behavior that can put your company at risk

LogRhythm UEBA solutions uncover user-based threats with diverse analytical methods, including scenario- and behavior-based techniques, which deliver comprehensive visibility across the full spectrum of attacks.

LogRhythm can help maximize efficiency and minimize risk, to help you solve security use cases such as insider threats, account compromise, privileged account abuse, and more.

Watch our on-demand technical demo highlighting the power of our UEBA solutions.

When threats occur, understaffed security operations centers (SOCs) lack sufficient access to contextual information. This lack of visibility is a key problem that LogRhythm CloudAI for User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) are designed to solve.

In this webcast, Dave Shackleford, senior SANS instructor, and analyst, joins Seth Goldhammer, LogRhythm senior director of product management, to explore how CloudAI uses supervised and unsupervised learning to establish baselines and monitor user behavior.

Shackleford reviews LogRhythm CloudAI and he runs through various use cases, such as insider threat, account compromise, and admin abuse.

You’ll learn how LogRhythm CloudAI:

- Detects malicious user activities
- Scores user activities, provides recommendations and takes automated actions
- Supports threat hunting and incident response capabilities
- Improves the machine learning experience through supervised and unsupervised learning

Watch the webcast now to understand how LogRhythm CloudAI can help you detect dangerous user behavior and rapidly mitigate threats.

Alongside an expanding attack surface resulting from the growth of cloud, mobile and IoT, organizations are now increasingly faced by internal threats. Insider threats, compromised accounts, administrator abuse and other user-based threats are some of the most damaging vulnerabilities and the hardest to detect. This has led to the evolution of user and entity-based analytics (UEBA) solutions, designed to address user based threats, and through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning these solutions are advancing threat detection capabilities in modern security operation centers.

In this webinar, Mark Settle, LogRhythm Product Marketing Manager, and Samir Jain, Senior Product Manager, UEBA, will discuss the evolving UEBA market, and advancements in the technology fueling these solutions.

Webinar attendees will learn:
•How advancements in AI and machine learning technology are enabling security analytics and in particular UEBA.
•Why security analytics solutions are moving to cloud infrastructure, and the security implications compared to on premise platforms.
•What security mature organizations are asking for versus what is being delivered
•Whether UEBA solutions are better delivered via security analytics/SIEM platforms, or via stand alone solutions

Security mature organizations are increasingly utilizing User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) to quickly surface, prioritize, and respond to anomalous and alarming user behavior.

DNS is woven into the fabric of both the Internet and corporate intranets. It works so well that you might even forget it exists—until it is used against you.

Hackers are using DNS to find command and control (C2) servers, control compromised systems, and exfiltrate your data.

In this webinar, a group of security experts from LogRhythm and Ultimate Windows Security team up to show you how to spot threatening DNS activity with LogRhythm NetMon Freemium.

You’ll learn about the malicious use of DNS and how to detect:

- Domain-generation-algorithm (DGA) queries
- C2 data tunneled through DNS
- Data exfiltration via tunneled DNS

Register now to learn how to stop hackers from exploiting DNS to infiltrate your network.

Phishing campaigns are among the most common and damaging cyberattacks. Despite how common and successful phishing attacks are, often times organisations and their employees are ill-prepared to handle these threats.

In this webinar, Greg Foss, LogRhythm Manager of Global Security Operations, Paul Asadoorian, Security Weekly CEO and Founder, and John Strand, Black Hills Information Security Owner and Security Analyst, discuss phishing attacks and how you can protect yourself from them. Additionally, the three go on to discuss how LogRhythm’s open-source Phishing Intelligence Engine (PIE), can help streamline and automate the entire process of tracking, analysing, and responding to phishing emails.
