From Insights to Action

An Illuminating Fireside Chat with BT Security and Anomali

Organizations and consumers are under constant attack from an increasingly sophisticated range of cyber actors. The barriers to entry for these groups continue to get lower and lower with advances in technology and better collaboration.

Data is everywhere, and while the problem used to be getting it, the challenge now is knowing what data to use and how to use it. This is where the power of big data comes in. To make sense of massive data sets using a wide range of technologies and AI to get and stay ahead of the cyber threat actors.

In this session, Tristan Morgan, Managing Director at BT Security, and Steve Benton, VP of Anomali Threat Research at Anomali, cover:

-A viewpoint from operating at the frontline into real attack trends
-Making sense of the vast amounts of data and how to leverage it best
-Sharing threat intelligence and collaboration protects the greater community

Watch the lively discussion to hear more about big data capabilities from these cybersecurity experts.

Taking a Threat-Centric Approach with Big Data

Utilizing an Outside-In, Top-Down Approach Provides Key Insights 
Most organizations focus their time and resources on collecting logs from their environment, whether on-premise or cloud devices. They may excel in this process but typically find identifying external threats amongst the data difficult. This is often due to a need for more historical visibility in what logs are readily available for adversarial detection or the inability to consume all the external intelligence into solutions holding their logs.

Another common challenge is immediately correlating all log data against new external intelligence. And finally, there is a failure to search for attacks related to adversaries in a straightforward and swift top-down search.

Parthi Sankar, Technical Director of Northern Europe for Anomali, demonstrates the solution to these universal problems. By amplifying visibility through an outside-in, top-down approach, you are continuously correlating all logs and external threat intelligence, making it simple and quick to search for the activity of adversaries of interest in your environment. 

Watch this session to learn how this approach allows you to detect ever-increasing adversarial attackers and stop breaches.

Identify and Block Threats, Including Those that Haven’t Been Detected Yet

As a community, we can realize the dream of predictive intel. Learning from past incidents enables us to accelerate threat hunting. Using events correlated to MITRE ATT&CK® helps intel teams with attribution. 

We have created the puzzle pieces through the Center for Threat-Informed Defense’s R&D program. Now it’s time to assemble them as a community and truly enable predictive intelligence.

In this session, Jon Baker, Co-Founder and Director at MITRE Engenuity Center for Threat-Informed Defense, covers:

-What is a threat-informed defense
-Sightings Ecosystem Project and Report 
-Top ATT&CK Techniques Project
-Attack Flow Data Model

Knowing the attacker is essential, but understanding how to prevent a breach is vital to a robust cyber defense.

Attack Flow: Laying the Foundation for Predictive Intelligence

To move forward, we often reflect on the past. It’s no different in cybersecurity. 

Take, for instance, threat detection. In the early days of the internet, recognition entailed when a “threat” indicated a payload embedded with an indiscriminate worm that produced an irritating message or an awkward gif. As technology progressed, attackers took advantage by forming more advanced polymorphic delivery systems that bypassed signature-based identification, constructed permanency by sabotaging terminals, and detonated a payload at its selected time.

As threats increased in intricacy, so did detection capabilities. Starting with event monitoring, which necessitated analysts to sift through the noise for evidence that could potentially lead to the attacker. Advancing to user and entity behavior analysis – an approach that assumes any deviation from a baseline of documented activity means an attack – disregarding that, at times, users vary from what’s usual, particularly if confronted with worldwide events like a pandemic. 

While successful at the time, user behavior-based discovery and manual event-based monitoring concentrated on discovering threats by differentiating the bad from the good. This not only generated false positives but often resulted in a dead end.

A new approach to detecting threats is rising, one that leverages advancements to find threats by incessantly tracking the bad guys and their patterns, providing real-time visibility into risk – including before and after an attack.

Watch the on-demand webinar to learn how to map attack patterns to detect threats before, during, and after they happen.

Get More Out of Your Data Being Collected 
Security teams are constantly on the lookout for the next hack or vulnerability. With today’s adversaries and attacks becoming more sophisticated, the need for a more proactive approach has never been greater. The problem is that most security teams are stretched thin and overwhelmed, chasing alerts and false positives. 

Threat hunting is one of the key activities organizations can utilize to proactively identify threats and look for traces of attackers, past and present, within their environment. Unfortunately, most struggle with visibility and collaboration across silos and the prioritization of threat-hunting activities. In addition, they often employ a manual, analyst-centric approach that can be time-consuming and bring fewer results. 

In this session, Patrick McNaught, Solutions Architect at Anomali, discusses how a threat intelligence-driven XDR solution can help accelerate threat-hunting activities with Michael Krieger, Host of Energize Marketing Tech Talks. Patrick also demonstrates how The Anomali Platform can help organizations develop an automated threat-hunting workflow in minutes, enabling them to:

Intelligence-Driven Security in an Ever-Changing Landscape

What lurks in the shadows? Can you find it? If so, can you share it? 

Threat Intelligence is key to understanding your cybersecurity situation. But knowing your situation is not enough. One of the less common ways to benefit from threat intelligence is to share this information with other groups, which helps to reduce response time to events and enact preventative measures. Sharing takes one organization’s knowledge and spreads it across the entire industry to improve all security practices. We can defeat our adversaries by working as a team, not as individual organizations. 

In this session, Scott Dowsett, Field CTO for Anomali, discusses the discovery of threat intelligence sharing and how organizations benefit from the community’s collective knowledge and experience. 

Key topics covered include:

-Threat intelligence cycle
-The obstacles to information sharing
-Standards for the exchange of information
-Best practices for information sharing
-Creating your own ISAC

Threat intelligence sharing is a critical tool for the cybersecurity community; watch the on-demand webinar to learn how to start sharing today.

Threat Intelligence Sharing: Together Everyone Achieves More

Going Beyond the Basics Using Threat Intelligence to Secure Your Organization

Like all things security, if it isn’t current, it isn’t useful. Threat intelligence is no exception. Benjamin Franklin once said, “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!” Proper planning includes arming your organization with threat intelligence to prepare defenses against eminent attacks. Equipping your security team with high fidelity, frontline-vetted threat data and expertise helps to accelerate their ability to make security and risk decisions.

We all know the threat landscape is evolving. Adversaries change their tools and methods of attack regularly, and you need to be prepared. Your threat intelligence needs to provide you with relevant and real-time information. With threat intelligence that gives insights into who is most likely to attack, how they will attack, and what tools they will use to attack, your organization is better prepared to understand active threats and improve your cyber defenses.

Listen as Marshall Heilman, Chief Technology Officer, Mandiant examines:

-The evolution of cybercriminals 
-Modern threat actor intelligence
-Operationalizing your threat intelligence

This webinar is a part of the Detect LIVE series from Anomali.

Knock Knock – Do You Know Who Is There? You Should.

Focusing on Threat-Based Detection is the Key to Your Ability to Detect Attacks

The “cat-and-mouse” game between Attackers and Defenders is as old as the LoveLetter virus. While script-kiddies have matured to become cybercriminals, hacktivists, and state-sponsored adversaries, sometimes it feels like the Defenders are stuck in 1999. We deploy anti-virus solutions, monitor the perimeter, and wait and see. Yes, today’s security technology is “Next Gen,” “2.0,” and “Meta,” but the concept is the same. Set the trap and wait to be attacked. 

And while the focus has been on stopping the active Attacker in the act, innovations in Big Data now allow us to detect the Attacker targeting your organization and stop them before they strike. To be clear, we are not talking about intelligence feeds managed through a platform, but rather a new approach to detection that harnesses the insights of intelligence to profile the Attacker, pattern the attack, and align the Attacker’s intent with the reality of your security posture.

In this presentation, Mark Alba, Chief Product Officer, Anomali, covers:

-Profiling the Attacker
-Mapping the evidence to the threat actors
-Detecting evidence of attacks using indicator-based detection

Watch the webinar to understand how your relevant threat landscape helps influence your detection, investigation, and response.

It’s Great to Detect a Breach, but Better to Detect the Attacker

Best Practices for Detecting and Mitigating Advanced Persistent Threats

Cybersecurity professionals responsible for defending their organizations are undoubtedly familiar with the scramble to respond to a newly announced zero-day threat. 

Tasks such as understanding its significance and potential impacts, coordinating response and remediation activities, managing a range of stakeholders, and adapting to the threat as it evolves and is weaponized are commonplace. The recent Log4Shell vulnerability is one such event. However, due to its publicity and the level of mobilization across the IT sector in response, it comes with some amplified and unique challenges. Organizations are truly tested not just in their initial response capability but in their ability to manage and adapt to the ongoing and evolving threat it poses. 

In this session, we will use the context of Log4Shell to examine how to effectively respond to a threat through all phases of its lifecycle and the integral role that cyber threat intelligence plays in this process.
