Date
07.12.2022
Time
9:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Location
Hotel Continental , Stortingsgata 24/26, 0117 Oslo
In this Christmas themed event, we’re inspired by the story of Scrooge and will explore the ghosts of cybersecurity past, present and future.
We’ll look back at what we’ve learned from 2022, and share some of our key learnings from the worlds of incident response and threat intelligence. We’ll also pull back the curtain on some of our on-going research & development activities, and what these might mean for the future.
Join us for a Christmas themed breakfast, network with new and familiar faces in the security community, and gain insight into the innovations occurring at mnemonic these days and where we’re headed.
We look forward to seeing you all again.
Agenda

09:00-09:05 Welcome and introduction
09:05-09:40 Post-incident breakdown: summary and lessons from incidents
with Ole Henrik Paulsen and Odin Jenseg, mnemonic’s Threat Intelligence team
mnemonic spends 10s of thousands of hours responding to incidents every year. In this presentation Ole Henrik and Odin will share tools and techniques we’ve observed in our investigations, as well as some of the most common overlap we’ve seen between threat actors. We will also drill down into a few specific techniques, and try to look into the future and upcoming trends in the threat landscape.

09:55-10:35 Why should defenders care about adversary emulation frameworks?
with Rafael Lukas Maers and Per Morten Sandstad, mnemonic’s Threat Intelligence team
By using real-world threat intelligence to impersonate the same tactics, techniques, and procedures as a known treat actor, adversary emulation allows any organisation to test their resilience. But there’s a lot more to these frameworks. During this presentation, Rafael and Per Morten will give a brief history of adversary emulation frameworks and why we, as defenders, should care about these.
We will also show how we at mnemonic organise our tracking efforts, and how we actively work behind the scenes to keep up to date with developments in these frameworks. To show how this is done in practice, they will discuss the CobaltStrike (CS) and Brute Ratel C4 (BRc4) threat actor emulation frameworks.
