Fortinet Training

Educational Challenge: Threat Hunting Workshop to Identify Adversarial Behaviors

The space restriction for the Fortinet training has been lifted, so all competitors who RSVP are invited to attend.

On April 25, Diamond Sponsor Fortinet will be hosting a training at the MIT Hacker Reactor Space in Cambridge, MA from 1-5PM ET the day before the 2024 Award Ceremony.

Fortinet invites you to join the Threat Hunting Workshop to identify the adversarial behaviors using renowned frameworks and procedures. Adopt a proactive approach that involves hunting for threats based on the Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) that threat actor’s use.

Assume the role of a security analyst and be asked to identify any undetected threats on a fictitious network. To do this you will make use of MITRE ATT&CK™, which is a knowledge base of adversary behavior based on real-world observations.

Students will gain hands-on experience developing and understanding the analytics needed to discover the techniques used by adversaries during a cyber security breach.

Participants who attend this workshop will learn:

  • What is the MITRE ATT&CK framework and how it can be used

  • What are the TTPs that threat actors use to carry out a breach

  • How to use EndPoint Detection & Response’s Threat Hunting capabilities to uncover threats on the network

  • How to use SIEM’s analytics to discover attacker behavior based on attack techniques

  • How to use deception technology to find attacker activity and shorten attacker dwell time
