Network Flow Data: A Cornucopia of Value - SANS Blue Team Summit
Speaker: Andrew Laman, Founder & Principal Consultant, A4 InfoSec; Instructor, SANS Institute
Did you realize that many network devices, such as routers, offer a treasure trove of data that can be analyzed to find unusual traffic patterns and intrusion activities on your network? Sure, most diligent companies have intrusion detection systems and sensors but even the best-tuned solutions miss malicious behavior due to blind spots like sensor placement and encrypted payloads.
Network flow data is a feature available on almost all networking products but is often overlooked as part of a defensible architecture. Need to hunt for lateral movement on a user segment that doesn't have a sensor? Flow data can provide visibility where other solutions fail. Come join me to learn tips for taking advantage of already available data.
