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.
