Data Science for SOC: A Practical Example of Detecting Advanced Credential Attacks
Is your SOC flooded with False Positives, but you are afraid to raise the rules' thresholds as this will allow advanced attackers to stay under the radar? Are your SOC analysts overwhelmed with the amount of data that they have to go through in order to give initial assessment of a security event? In this talk we will share Data Science methods that proved successful in addressing the above mentioned challenges in our corporate setup. Specifically, we will go over combining Unsupervised and Supervised Learning (Elastic and Scikit-Learn), advanced visualizations providing "light speed" deep dive into anomalies triage and environment monitoring (Python and Plotly dashboard). We will demonstrate how all this was used to detect distributed credential attacks that stayed under the radar of other solutions while saving time to our analysts.
