Compromise Assessments: Best Practices & Lessons from the Field
Friday, March 9 | 10:00am
Speaker: Chris Gerritz
Compromise Assessments are a recent and hotly demanded service designed to inform organizations whether their networks are compromised or not. This is not an easy task, especially when it is not a network you are familiar with. In this talk, we will discuss some of the real-world challenges and best practices of conducting proactive hunts in other peoples’ networks. From gaining access to finding persistent threats, malware, and misuse of credentials. We will explore defining, scoping, and conducting these types of assessments to effectively find possible threats while being as efficient and non-invasive as possible.

Next Generation Threat Hunting “Malware Analysis Simplified”
Infocyte HUNT is a forensic-based threat hunting solution that is easy-to-use, yet powerful to limit risk and eliminate dwell time by enabling an organization’s own IT and security professionals to proactively discover malware and persistent threats, active or dormant, that have successfully breached existing defenses. Infocyte HUNT assumes all endpoints are compromised. Using agentless surveys, it spends a few minutes on each endpoint, then uses Forensic State Analysis (FSA) to find definitive proof, and conclusively validates their state: “Compromised” or “Not Compromised”.

Defense in Depth is Dead – Evolving Your Security Approach
Thursday, April 12
Speaker: Chris Gerritz
Reports of network intrusions have spiked in recent years resulting in millions in financial loses, theft of intellectual property, and exposure of customer information. The groups responsible for these attacks are organized and can persist in your organization’s systems and endpoints without detection for 6 months on average – sometimes years. The approach many organizations take to prevent these attacks is to simply layer on increasing numbers of defensive solutions – clearly, this approach is no longer sufficient.
Learn why the current defense in depth model, as it is applied in many organizations, leaves critical gaps which allow attackers to remain undetected. Chris Gerritz, Infocyte’s Founder and the former Chief of Defensive Counter Cyberspace Operations for the U.S. Air Force AFCERT team, will discuss:
- The Defense in Depth model from an attacker kill chain perspective
- Why defense is important, but it is not the only factor to deliver security
- Where threat hunting and post-compromise detection fit in the model
