SuriCon2024 Intrusion Analysis & Threat Hunting [PRE-CONFERENCE TRAINING]

Delivered by Suricata developers, this 2-day user training is held the same week as SuriCon2024 - join us for both and receive a 20% discount on this training!

Suricata has been and is a fundamental part of any security monitoring stack by way of providing network visibility, detection and security policies audit since 2009, widely used by many big and small organizations alike around the world both on prem and in the cloud.

In today’s threat landscape, sophisticated adversaries have routinely demonstrated the ability to compromise enterprise networks and remain hidden for extended periods of time. In Intrusion Analysis and Threat Hunting with Open Source Tools, you will learn how to dig deep into network traffic to identify key evidence that a compromise has occurred, learn how to deal with new forms of attack, and develop the skills necessary to proactively search for evidence of new breaches. We will explore all phases of adversary tactics and techniques - from delivery mechanisms to post-infection traffic and data exfiltration to get hands-on analysis experience. Open-source tools such as Suricata, Arkime and Kibana will be utilized to generate data, perform exhaustive traffic analysis, and develop comprehensive threat hunting strategies.

This training also offers a unique opportunity to bring in-depth use cases, questions, and challenges directly to the Suricata development team. By the end of this course, you will have the knowledge and skills necessary to discover new threats in your network and build an effective threat hunting program.
