Abstract:

Are you looking to get a job as a level 1 analyst in a SOC or do you regularly lead month long investigations to counter foreign adversaries access operations? In conducting investigations of all levels of complexity and training over 100 investigators we have found some core skills that helped us solve cases. Identifying what information we can pivot off of is often taught as a very procedural process. We don’t teach how to use tools to enrich information. We teach how to find what information is valuable, and then find how to make a connection. This session is an introduction to this way of investigating that has been used in cases ranging from network intrusion to money laundering. Examples shown will span investigation types from malware to wrongful imprisonment.
