Network based threat hunting â?? a critical component for securing the cloud!

Using legacy, "on-prem" security strategies to combat today's threats is like bringing a knife to a gun fight. Threat actors have been perfecting the art of evading security controls for years and we see the results in headlines all the time. In this session we will dive into network based threat hunting and how it can be implemented within an organization's security strategy. A cloud environment requires a cloud security strategy! Most organizations are going through a digital transformation journey, be it a planned one ore one that was forced upon them due to circumstances. But how many organizations are making sure that this journey also includes security transformation? Most organizations use the same security tools and techniques as the ones we have been using for over a decade, but our infrastructure as well as the threats targeting them have changed and evolved. They are bringing a knife to a gun fight! End point AV? Sandboxes? Siloed threat intel feeds? Threat actors today have proven over and over they can bypass these strategies. In this session we will review how today’s threats evade security detection and how they evolved over time. We will see how a network based threat hunting program does not necessarily mean changing and buying new products but rather how to better utilize current capabilities to fit today's threats. It's not all about new features but rather how to deploy and use them! We will show use cases as well several of the tactical, practical techniques to help bdetect and mitigate today’s threats. A cloud environment cannot be protected with the tools and techniques of the “on-prem” days, a cloud environment requires a cloud security strategy
