🚀 Progress Update on My Blue Team Labs Journey! 🔍 Starting today with a lighter schedule compared to yesterday, but that doesn't mean we slow down! I kicked off the day with an easy but valuable lab to keep the momentum going. 💪 💻 Print 🛠 Scenario: Our security team recently learned about a new exploit targeting Windows Print Services. As part of the detection team, I was tasked with submitting artifacts to create detection rules. The red team set up a vulnerable environment with a working exploit, and it was my job to analyze the logs, identify the artifacts, and submit them to the SOC team. 🔧 Tools: Wireshark, Event Viewer https://lnkd.in/eaYV8u5M This lab was a great way to start the day and sharpen my skills further! 🛡️ #BlueTeam #CyberSecurity #IncidentResponse #ThreatHunting #ContinuousLearning #CyberDefense

🚀 Progress Update on My Blue Team Labs Journey! 🔍 First lab of the day completed! This was an incident response lab using Wireshark. I had started it a few days ago but set it aside to focus on other tasks. Today, I came back to it and finally got it done! 🔒 Backstage 🛠 Scenario: We were notified of unusual activity in our network from one of our newly set-up servers. Not taking any chances, we immediately took the system down for investigation. I was given access to the system and the network packet capture file to figure out what was going on. 🔧 Tools: Wireshark Achievement: https://lnkd.in/dR9jmDJt Glad to check this one off the list and dive deeper into network investigation! #BlueTeam #CyberSecurity #IncidentResponse #Wireshark #DigitalForensics #ThreatHunting #CyberDefense

We were showcased at the Octopus conference in Bucharest, Romania between 13th and 15 December 2023. Here are some insights from the #CYCLOPES project on #cybercrime as a global challenge. Background The #octopus conference is one of the largest #cybercrime conferences in the world. It is organized by the Council of Europe, through various projects. The goal of the initiative is to offer support for implementation of the #BudapestConvention, an international agreement on #fighting #cybercrime. The purpose of the conferences is to build co-operation against #cybercrime. Held every 12 to 18 months, the conferences have drawn a wide, international audience of cybercrime experts from more than 100 countries, international organizations, private sector, and academia. Octopus 2023 conference was held in Bucharest, Romania between 13th and 15th of December. Participation Members from the CYCLOPES team at Laurea University of Applied Sciences took part in the conference where #CYCLOPES had its own stand in a highly visible location as well as showcased the project within the lightning talks section, where a member of the team gave a speech about CYCLOPES and NOTIONES Projects.

Save the date.

More is coming on my week at RSA, but it's always positive to kick off with one of my favorite interview subjects, Rohit Ghai, and his unique perspective on the state of security. https://lnkd.in/g2Pi7AtH

Looking forward to insights from Constangy Cyber Vice Chair Alyssa Watzman as she leads a panel of experts in discussing cyber claims trends!

A huge thanks Henry Gatehouse, Riki Blok and the Talenza team for co-hosting our inaugural panel discussion event last night. Thanks also to our panellists, Andy Chauhan, Andrew Webster and for our very own Rodd Hamilton for providing some great insights into the 'pre-requisites to running an effective cyber uplift program in Critical Infrastructure'. Standing room only with an audience that was genuinely dialled into the discussion...recognition of the calibre of the panellists and the importance of this topic. #Cybercuity; #Talenza; #cyber; #CriticalInfrastructure;
