Mandiant is a recognized leader in dynamic cyber defense, threat intelligence and incident response services. By scaling decades of frontline experience, Mandiant helps organizations to be confident in their readiness to defend against and respond to cyber threats. Mandiant is part of Google Cloud.

Threat actors are no longer using Artificial Intelligence (AI) just for basic productivity gains; they have entered a new operational phase by deploying novel, AI-enabled malware and evolving their Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) across the entire attack lifecycle.

In this briefing, drawn from the latest Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) reporting, we will expose the ways both cyber criminals and state-sponsored groups are abusing Large Language Models (LLMs) to achieve their objectives.

You Will Learn:

- The Rise of Adaptive Malware: Understand the use of novel "Just-in-Time" AI in malware families like PROMPTFLUX and PROMPTSTEAL. We will detail how these tools dynamically generate malicious scripts, obfuscate their own code mid-execution, and create functions on demand to effectively evade static detection.

- Attempts to bypass Safety Guardrails: Discover the low-sophistication methods - such as social engineering pretexts - that threat actors are using to attempt to bypass AI safety guardrails and facilitate tool development.

- Full Attack Lifecycle Augmentation: See how government-backed actors from North Korea, Iran, and the PRC are leveraging generative AI tools for every stage of their operations, from generating phishing lures and specialized social engineering to C2 development and data exfiltration.

- Expanding Attack Surfaces: Get a breakdown of how actors are using LLMs to expand their knowledge and targeting of less conventional environments, including cloud infrastructure, container systems (Kubernetes), and macOS6.

- The Cyber Crime Marketplace: Gain insight into the maturing underground marketplace for purpose-built AI tools designed to lower the barrier to entry for phishing, malware generation, and vulnerability research.

The AI-Powered Adversary: Tracking the New Wave of LLM-Enabled Cyber Attacks

For modern security teams, the gap between detecting a suspicious indicator and fully understanding the threat is often measured in days—time that defenders simply don’t have. Manually correlating data, mapping TTPs, and authoring detection rules creates critical bottlenecks that slow down response and burn out analysts.

Join Tim Gallo, Lead Global Solutions Architect, as he demonstrates how to shatter these bottlenecks using the new Agentic capabilities within Google Threat Intelligence. Tim will showcase a powerful workflow that transforms a single indicator of compromise (IOC) into a comprehensive threat hunting methodology, compressing what used to take days of research into just seven minutes.

In this session, you will learn how to:
- Instantly Pivot: Automatically correlate a raw IOC with specific malware families, threat actors, and historical campaign data.
- Automate Framework Mapping: Extract tactical behaviors and map them directly to the MITRE ATT&CK framework without manual analysis.
- Generate Immediate Detections: Watch the system build production-ready YARA, YARA-L, and Sigma rules tailored to the specific threat.
- Operationalize Defense: Create complete threat hunting playbooks on the fly to proactively defend your environment.

Don't miss this opportunity to see the future of high-velocity threat analysis in action. Register now to see how Agentic workflows can multiply your team's efficiency and speed.

Modern threats utilize highly complex and obfuscated delivery chains to conceal their final payloads and evade detection. This tactical webinar, presented by Google Cloud VirusTotal Security Engineer and FLARE's reverse engineering expert, will demystify the process of analyzing these sophisticated multi-stage threats and show how to scale your static analysis pipeline.

We will demonstrate an in-depth analysis of a multi-stage .NET dropper that leads to the final AgentTesla payload. You will learn expert-level techniques to unravel these chains efficiently:

*Time-Travel Debugging (TTD) Mastery: See how to leverage TTD to navigate complex execution flows, trace obfuscation routines, and perform efficient analysis to quickly extract the primary payload.

*Rapid Static Triage: See the combined power of capa and FLOSS for swift malware capability identification and automated configuration extraction. Learn how to deobfuscate critical strings and access key indicators without ever running the final AgentTesla payload.

*Google Threat Intelligence Integration for Context & Validation: Discover how the high-fidelity indicators and extracted configuration data, once gathered, are instantly cross-referenced with Google Threat Intelligence's massive dataset. This pivoting capability allows analysts to gain immediate threat context, identify related samples, confirm findings, and showcase the effectiveness of crowd-sourced detection efforts.

We will move from initial traditional analysis to building a sense of the threat's complexity, utilizing TTD for payload extraction, analyzing the final configuration data, and pivoting to Google Threat Intelligence to see how detection is achieved through these multiple layers of obfuscation.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn practical, scalable strategies for transforming complex reverse engineering tasks into automated, repeatable wins for your threat intelligence program.
