In 2024, the SOC Survey continued to explore the detailed aspects of cybersecurity operations centers. The survey collected information on organizations’ capabilities, and what is outsourced. On this webcast, SANS Senior Instructor Chris Crowley examines survey results to understand how SOCs are architectured, favorite and frustrating technologies, staffing, funding, threat intel, and automation. Register for this webcast now, and you wi...

Every organization professes that risk management is at the heart of its cybersecurity program. Threat modeling is at the heart of this proactive approach: a systematic process that helps organizations identify, understand, and mitigate potential threats. However, with technology's ongoing advancement and the rising complexity of digital systems, constructing exhaustive threat models from the ground up can be daunting. In this presentation, Ja...

Cybercrime continues to evolve, and as forensic analysts and incident responders, we often are in a virtual arms race with the criminals. While the best tool in both art and science is the amazing capacity of the human brain, and this is especially apparent in the field of digital forensics and incident response, where we match ourselves against the creative ingenuity of committed and capable criminals; we do need other tools to make our work...

The cybersecurity workforce has exploded in recent years, with more than 1 million available jobs posted in 2023 alone. Daunting is the fact that the demand for skilled employees more than doubles the currently available workforce. Even for the most seasoned professionals, there is a desperate need to stay on top of the latest attack trends, vulnerabilities and exploits, and to constantly vet the myriad of available tools touted to do the job,...

Since 2017, the SANS ICS/OT Cybersecurity Survey has been a foundational benchmark for critical infrastructure asset owners and operators. On this webcast, SANS Certified Instructor Jason Christopher explores the growing trends in cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and risks across industrial environments, including actionable recommendations for how organizations can improve their security posture. As global incidents—and regulations...

Two years ago, artificial intelligence (AI) was primarily a buzzword, but the times have changed quickly! The rapid integration of artificial intelligence in multiple sectors has revolutionized operational efficiency, data analytics, and automation. Join me at the AI-focused solutions forum at the Hackfest/AI/Blockchain summit to explore how leading cybersecurity companies are implementing AI into their offerings, along with discussions on a v...

For people who don't work in a SOC, or in cybersecurity at all, the image of a cybersecurity operations center is that of an all-seeing, all-knowing marvel of technology. For those of us who work in a SOC, we know the technology requires constant care and maintenance to preserve visibility into the systems we're protecting. If we can preserve that visibility, we then strive to deploy appropriate and effective detections. Once we've tuned those...
