“You should be looking at Indicators of Compromise!” exclaims your CISO, regulator, vendor, and mom. No problem, right? You have the most expensive security intelligence vendor and all you have to do is correlate in your expensive SIEM. If you've tried this, then you are laughing with me. Come hear my exploration into implementing IOCs at a major US insurance company and a major US bank. I’ll address the differences between Indicators of Compromise vs Indicators of Attack, and I will show you how not to use the MITRE ATT&CK™ framework, plus some tips on how it use it well. My goal is to save you from falling into the same pitfalls when dealing with Indicators of Crap.

Splunk's Security Research Team collects attack data in the wild from across the globe and analyzes new and unusual techniques, tactics, and procedures employed by threat actors. We use this data to help customers build tailored defenses—defenses that automatically detect, investigate, and respond to suspicious activities in real time. In this session we will discuss how Splunk security researchers created our own honeypot and data collection framework in response to research demonstrating that honeypots were twice as effective as open-source intelligence feeds at detecting new threats (http://tinyurl.com/y335po8d). We will provide an introduction to honeypots and explain how we architected and built KLAPP-Back, a high-interaction SSH honeypot. We will also discuss how KLAPP-Back helped us build better detection analytics and seed Splunk Enterprise Security, Splunk Phantom, and Splunk User Behavior Analytics use cases with attacker data.

Today SOCs are in desperate need of a different alerting approach. Texas Instruments (TI) decided to transform its SOC by using risk-based alerting to generate fewer, higher fidelity alerts, and by aligning to the MITRE ATT&CK™ framework, which provides more situational awareness to analysts. This risk-based approach reduces false positives and the situational numbness associated with the legacy whitelisting process. Splunk and TI will walk you through TI's SOC successes as it transitioned to risk-based alerting. TI will detail a few real-life risk-based rule examples, discuss learning curves to fast track your transition, and discuss how MITRE ATT&CK™ fits in with this approach. After this session, you will have the foundation to embark on your risk-based alerting journey, allowing you to increase detection mechanisms, increase your coverage of the ATT&CK™ techniques, and improve the overall effectiveness of your SOC.

It's not easy to detect malicious patterns within encrypted network traffic. JA3, a method of fingerprinting Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) traffic developed by SalesForce, aims to address this by profiling client (JA3) and server (JA3s) SSL connections. Since these fingerprints are unique and persistent, they provide a way to discover applications, fingerprint Operating Systems, and even discover malware. This presentation showcases how to use Splunk to streamline JA3 event data gathered from Bro/Zeek, use that in combination with host-level visibility provided by Carbon Black, and ultimately correlate network signatures with endpoint telemetry. You will learn how to use this method to get a better understanding of what processes are causing benign or malicious SSL connections on your network and how to hunt for unknown threats.

Winston Churchill once said, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." Then again, Churchill wasn’t in cybersecurity...While our successes are certainly never final, our failures can absolutely be fatal—to a company and our continued employment. What's a good way to actually measure success and failure, though, outside of not appearing on the front page of the paper? Well, as CrowdStrike notes, you have on average one minute to detect an attack in progress, ten minutes to understand it, and sixty minutes to contain it. We will show how to use this 1-10-60 Rule as a measuring metric and leverage the data and capabilities within Splunk and its ecosystem to ensure that we win the survival of the fastest.

Incident response (IR) analysts are required to make multiple decisions on every alert and incident. Whether the decision is to escalate, respond, or to discard the alert, each one of those decisions is critical to protecting their environment. With the integration of SOAR platforms like Splunk Phantom into IR teams, many of those decisions can now be automated for analysts. These decisions can save hours of work for analysts and allow for focus on more critical alerts. However, there are still questions to answer before implementing these decisions. What data is needed to make confident decisions? Where in the process should these decisions be made? How can existing decisions be improved? How should new decisions be integrated? The General Electric IR team has worked to answer these questions by using Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Phantom. In this session, we will show how our team approached these questions, implemented solutions, and integrated decisions for our analysts to save time and focus their efforts.

Where did you come up with the idea for your last use case? Traditional approaches to use case ideation focus on identifying new use cases based on the data already available to the security operations center. However, the threat landscape is constantly changing, and attackers are constantly getting more sophisticated. To detect these advanced threats, our use cases must be based on both business and threat context. In this session, we will share our approach to building innovative use cases based on real-world threats. Starting with industry-specific threat intelligence, we identify the threat actors and their specific tactics, techniques, and procedures. With these insights, we identify use cases relevant to the business, map them to both existing and new data sources, and prioritize implementation based on the specific threats.

Risk-based alerting is gaining traction in the SOC: by using multiple-lower fidelity searches to yield higher-fidelity investigations, it allows analysts to rapidly prioritize investigations, correlate “risk objects” between alerts, identify gaps in monitoring, and generally understand attack narratives. We'll discuss the first steps needed to transition from the traditional one-to-one ticket investigation model to this holistic approach, i.e. how risk-based alerting works, a description of prerequisites, and dashboard optimization. We will also discuss how to start building a comprehensive search inventory based on Splunk analytics, MITRE, and your own threat intelligence.

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.

Failure to log everything needed for maximum visibility in your environment can leave huge gaps in your ability to remediate threats. But running an enterprise-level logging program can be difficult: how do you know if you're logging everything necessary to detect threats? Are all of your technologies configured to send the right logs? Are they all logging to Splunk? In this session we will help you answer these and other critical questions of your logging program, which will ultimately help you remediate issues and better use log analysis to mitigate threats.

Going beyond basic perimeter defense, Threat Hunting cuts through the noise of endpoint telemetry and anti-virus data to find nation-state level Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) that hide below the alert threshold. We will demonstrate, through 4 hunt analytic use cases, how to overcome the legacy challenge of relying on Packet Capture (PCAP) data to detect adversaries, highlighting the need to transform Hunt operations by combining Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) telemetry data with knowledge of APT behavior to find hidden adversaries. This talk will provide a framework for planning and executing hunts, demonstrate why focusing on EDR telemetry data can add additional value over and beyond traditional network data, and how to strengthen hunting through a Purple Team approach.

To secure the modern endpoint, you need sufficient data, the right visibility and analysis, and the technology necesary to stop an intrusion. We will leverage BOTSv4 data in this session to help you test and validate Splunk use cases related to hunting threats using endpoint data. We’ll cover several real world case studies as described in MITRE ATT&CK™, and we will simulate adversary groups by executing a single Atomic test and building an elaborate chain reaction. We will then show you in Splunk how to confirm your data quality and confirm you have what you need to detect and evict an adversary from your environment. We will demonstrate practical hunt techniques using BOTSv4 data and how to raise the flag when data is missing or is not required.
