SANS Cyber Threat Intelligence Summit 2013

I recently attended the first SANS CTI Summit in Washington DC. While there was plenty of brain power in the room, and good discussions were to be had, overall it was just ok. There was a big focus on what CTI is and why you should be doing it, or at least consuming it. There wasn't enough discussion, aside from one talk, on how you should be doing it. It basically reinforced my beliefs that this is still very much a small, closed off club of insiders, where nobody is sharing tradecraft. I love that SANS is getting involved in this space though, and it sounds like Mike Cloppert will be writing a SANS course on Threat Intelligence in the future. I would very much be interested in that and I expect it would sell out quickly. Mike Cloppert opened the day by discussing the old vulnerability centric approach focused on reducing attack surface as opposed to the new threat centric model focused on reducing the risk of the actual threats affecting your ...

2020 SANS CTI Summit Notes

Unfortunately due to some back surgery I was not able to attend the SANS CTI summit this year, however I always try to take advantage of the great content SANS makes available. To help me out in synthesizing the information, I combined the context provided by those that were live tweeting which is useful when reviewing the slide decks. Hope you find this useful and well done @rickholland , @PDXbek , and @likethecoins , another great year of great content!

European DFIR Summit 2018 Review

On Monday October 1st, I attended the European edition of the SANS DFIR Summit in Prague. Normally I try to attend this in Austin, however this year I couldn't make it so attended this one later in the year instead. I took a couple days PTO just to spend some time seeing the sights and it was cool getting to take time visiting the historical sights, instead of my typical shut in routine. If you have time, I would highly recommend this and definitely book a night time river cruise. Also worth noting, the new Spiderman movie was filming last week which was kinda cool. A few other recommendations I would make, would be to stay closer to the city center and take the subway daily. This has the added benefit of staying at a nicer, more western hotel (eg Marriott, Hilton), but also being near the old town square. I'm staying at the Angelo Hotel, but the training is actually split between two hotels and I don't get the benefit of being able to quickly jet up th...
