In this session, we tackle data breaches and information exfiltration from cloud file stores. Beyond the attacks that make headlines and result in millions of stolen personal records, we will also focus on the far less publicized risks related to exposure of intellectual property, infrastructure details or finances. We will share our experience in building a defensive strategy that now detects highly-covert exfiltration attempts.To this end, we first shed a lot of light on how companies use general-purpose file stores, such as Box, Office365 or Google Drive. We cover the types of files that commonly get stored in the cloud, file sharing practices, access properties, as well as uses of cloud stores by various departments. There are a lot of unexpected insights which eventually invalidate common security assumptions.As the boundary between good and bad gets blurred, we will provide you with a peek into how to design an effective data-driven defense. This approach helped us hone our detection to just tens of validly suspicious exfiltration files in a massive cloud store.

Obtaining data to develop defenses against threats is a constant challenge for security analysts. To that end, Splunk's Security Research team developed the Splunk SIEMulator, a framework modeled after Chris Long's DetectionLab that allows a defender to replay attack scenarios using AttackIQ in a simulated environment. SIEMulator’s Attack Range environments are all configured with Splunk forwarders and the apps necessary to create and store data in CIM data models. We'll show you how to use the SIEMulator to produce shareable data that can help security analysts replicate scenarios and effectively detect, investigate, and respond to threats.

As a high-profile public-sector organization, the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration deals with criminals claiming to be representatives of the organization and contacting the public with phishing e-mails every day. By using Splunk and RFC’s like, RFC7208 – Sender Policy Framework (SPF) for Authorizing Use of Domains in Email, we have developed a technique to identify phishing attacks that are carried out under the disguise of the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration. This technique is universally applicable. A precondition is access to the DNS logging. By means of this technique, insight can be obtained where the phishing e-mails are sent from and to whom the phishing e-mails are sent. In this talk we will start by explaining which standards are available to increase e-mail security and how we have build an app in Splunk, including dashboard and a wizard to create the necessary DNS records to gain insight information about the abuse of our domains.

Using data that you probably already have in Splunk, you can gain tremendous insight into the performance of your web applications. However, this requires someone to visit your application, and ideally you don't want your customers discovering your problems for you. What happens when nobody is looking? What if a part of the site is broken but users just haven't tripped over it yet? We'll demonstrate the methods that we developed at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory using Splunk and open source tools like Selenium to monitor web applications with synthetic interactions that happen in a real browser to verify everything is performing as expected. We'll share how to put the pieces together, including configuring Selenium Grid, creating monitoring that thoroughly tests your apps, dashboards that create and test your Selenium interactions for you, getting screenshots and network waterfall data, and our monitoring dashboards that combine test results with existing Splunk data.

Do you want to use machine learning to enhance your datacenter security monitoring, but you don’t know where to start? Then this is the talk for you. Come learn how high secure datacenter operations benefit from operationalizing machine learning. With the help of the Splunk's Machine Learning Toolkit, your security analysts can take different approaches to use case creation and gain new insight into what's going on in your environment. We'll detail the challenges, benefits and use cases of using machine learning for datacenter security monitoring, and we'll answer questions such as: Where does it make sense to apply machine learning, and where should we stick with classic searches? Can we detect meaningful anomalies in system behavior? Is it possible to cluster our account activities and find unusual patterns? This is a practical session of security monitoring use cases, deep diving into the ideas, concepts and the SPL behind them.

In this session, we tackle data breaches and information exfiltration from cloud file stores. Beyond the attacks that make headlines and result in millions of stolen personal records, we will also focus on the far less publicized risks related to exposure of intellectual property, infrastructure details or finances. We will share our experience in building a defensive strategy that now detects highly-covert exfiltration attempts.To this end, we first shed a lot of light on how companies use general-purpose file stores, such as Box, Office365 or Google Drive. We cover the types of files that commonly get stored in the cloud, file sharing practices, access properties, as well as uses of cloud stores by various departments. There are a lot of unexpected insights which eventually invalidate common security assumptions.As the boundary between good and bad gets blurred, we will provide you with a peek into how to design an effective data-driven defense. This approach helped us hone our detection to just tens of validly suspicious exfiltration files in a massive cloud store.
