Threat Hunting with Data Mining and Analytics
Sr. Information Security Analyst, TIAA

Absract: Threat Hunting has become widely popular in the Cyber Security Industry, and for good reason. Becoming more proactive and finding problems before they escalate can result in huge savings — think brushing your teeth to prevent a cavity. For this reason Threat Hunting practices, which have traditionally only been applied to Cyber Security Operations, should be expanded to other areas of Cyber Security. Our presentation will focus on threat hunts for Insider Threat and Cyber Fraud.
