Timely remediation: It’s critical to responding to active threats in an environment. Knowing when (and when not) to apply automation is equally important. Given the speed at which threat actors can progress through the attack lifecycle, configuring automated remediation steps can go a long way. Hear how Expel approaches incident response and puts auto-remediation into practice.

Great eXpeltations: Cybersecurity trends and predictions for 2022

Alerts in any environment, but especially the cloud are only as useful as the investigative time put into them. Digging through logs and sorting through false-positives is time consuming and every second can matter. The solution? Automating the right things at the right time. Join a panel of Expel customers who have build their own automation and taken advantage of Expel’s automation to free up their time. 

In this panel we’ll discuss:
• Benefits from automation (ex: staffing, faster time to detect and respond, improved visibility)
• Challenges with automation
• How it’s freed up resources and the follow on effect of what else they were able to focus on

Panelists:
Peter Silberman, CTO, Expel
Brandon Maxwell, Senior Security Engineer, Auth0
Jeremy Stinson, Chief Architect of SaaS, Precisely
Aaron Blum, Lead Security Engineer, Cockroach Labs

Free up your time with automation

AWS Sr. Security Specialist, Lior Cohen, will give an overview of cultural, procedural and technical perspectives of how to effectively and continuously improve cloud security. He’ll review highlights from AWS’s internal culture of security, the use of frameworks to continuously improve security and give guidance on how to improve your AWS security posture now. You’ll also learn more about the shared responsibility model, AWS’s Well Architected Framework, cloud security design patterns, the NIST Cyber Security Framework and native AWS security services.

Keynote: Getting better at [cloud] security

If you’ve got GuardDuty set up in your AWS environment, then your security is already heading in the right direction. But knowing what to do with the alerts and how to make the most out of them isn’t always as clear. I’ll break down the classes of GuardDuty alerts and discuss different strategies to identify quality alerts using levers to tweak the volume and mapping of alerts based on your business needs.

Optimizing AWS GuardDuty alerts for your environment

Enrichments help you up-level your detections capabilities by giving you the full picture of what’s going on and a baseline for your users’ activity. Find out how Expel automates AWS alerts enrichment with the help of the Expel Workbench™ and our bot, Ruxie™. We’ll cover the key questions our automations help us quickly answer and how these automations make spotting true positives in the complexity of the cloud easier.

Automating AWS alert enrichment

Containers are complex, and securing them is even more complicated. It all starts with understanding the different components from the bottom up. Join our partners at Lacework to unpack each part of a container with insights on how to best secure each using AWS native tools as well as additional monitoring from the Lacework platform.

Breaking down container security

Learn how Expel approaches detection writing by iterating upon previous research and detection work. We’ll explore how our detection coverage evolves as we learn more about a technology and brainstorm ways to iterate upon your own detections. Then you’ll get a glimpse of our detections for lesser known AWS controls that can be used to unseat security in your environment.

Iterating on detections in AWS

Join Expel in the data caves to see how we dig for coin miners in customer environments. You’ll leave this session with some tips on how you can use signal to find unauthorized coin mining in your AWS environment.

Mining your data to find Coin Miners

We’ve seen quite a few incidents in AWS. And we noticed a few common themes about when and why attackers use different AWS APIs – and they mapped nicely to the MITRE ATT&CK tactics. Follow along as we walk you through Expel’s AWS mind map and share why constructing a mind map can assist in developing detections, performing timeline analyses and identify attacker paths in AWS.

A walk through Expel’s AWS Mind Map

Successful phishing attacks are making way for an increase in business email compromise (BEC). Simply turning on multi-factor authentication (MFA) is no longer enough to halt the crafty attackers, as bad actors are continually finding ways to bypass MFA and are even creating fake Okta pages to steal user credentials. To prevent these attacks, you need detection and response coverage across the email attack lifecycle. 

Join Expel’s CISO, Bruce Potter and Tina Velez, Principal Solution Architect, to learn how to detect these advanced attacker tactics. We’ll show you how we triage phishy emails, detect BEC and uncover risky behavior. 

During this chat, we'll cover: 
Phishing trends we’re seeing among our own customer base
How to detect and respond to phishing email and BEC threats
A behind-the-scenes walk through of an investigation

Securing your email: re-thinking phishing and business email compromise attacks

Hunting can be a game changing strategy for your security posture. But how do you start building that strategy? Using a vulnerability-centric approach isn't enough. Hunting techniques need to focus on a proactive approach as the threat landscape has evolved to new places – like the cloud. Learn how to develop hunts that are hypothesis-driven and use a threat-centric approach to identify areas in your environment that need improvement.

Hunting in your Microsoft Environments

Phishing attacks are on the rise and BEC is still the number one tactic. In order to keep your org and its users safe, it’s important to understand the BEC attack life cycle and know where to look to spot evil – especially as these attacks continue to evolve. In this session you’ll find out what the BEC attack life cycle looks like, what signal is available in Microsoft Azure and O365 to detect a potential BEC attack and get three tips on how you can detect an attacker in your Exchange Online environment.
