Scaling Cloud Forensics & Incident Response with OSQuery - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

An enterprise has a diverse environment (cloud instances, servers, workstations) in which to try and detect potential security incidents. The ability of an incident response team to work quickly and at necessary scale is imperative when incidents do unfortunately occur. After an initial compromise, attackers often move laterally in an environment, trying to establish a foothold and escalate privileges. While they try to remain stealthy, they almost always leave behind footprints. Detecting and analyzing these footprints quickly and accurately to scope the issue is critical. This webcast will explore a scalable approach developed by the Adobe security team that relies on open source tools like OSQuery. The goal was to develop techniques that can be leveraged to more quickly and easily investigate large groups infrastructure components for initial triage, basic forensic analysis, and to also help proactively detect threats. Attendees will learn about the techniques we developed that they can then go apply to their own environments to help with their incident response efforts in the cloud.
