Participating in e-Symposium Wednesday

I was asked to participate in an ISSA e-Symposium titled Emerging Threats and Response. Readers of this blog will guess I may have a field day with this one. I'm part of a round table called Migration to IP: Convergence or Collision?. For those of you with extra coin, registration costs £50 / €75 / $90. Wow, I might be in the wrong business! Has anyone heard of these talks before?

Update: As pointed out in the comments, it's free for ISSA members to register.

I "attended" the last session (in April I believe), and have been registered for this one as well. I was intrigued when I saw you on the panel, today actually.

I hadn't heard of it either, which just shows we both don't read those ISSA Enews E-mails! ;-) (I checked my archive and found that the previous editions were about "IT Governance" (Apr 26) and "ITSec 2005" (Nov 9)

Only non-ISSA-Members have to pay the fee you mention, ISSA-Members receive a coupon code which entitles them to a free "attendance"!:-)

I'm curious about what we will be hearing from you on the panel... ;-)

I believe, as an ISSA member you can also send invites through the site to up to four colleagues which will give them free access.

Zeek in Action Videos

Image
This is a quick note to point blog readers to my Zeek in Action YouTube video series for the Zeek network security monitoring project .  Each video addresses a topic that I think might be of interest to people trying to understand their network using Zeek and adjacent tools and approaches, like Suricata, Wireshark, and so on.  I am especially pleased with Video 6 on monitoring wireless networks . It took me several weeks to research material for this video. I had to buy new hardware and experiment with a Linux distro that I had not used before -- Parrot .  Please like and subscribe, and let me know if there is a topic you think might make a good video.

MITRE ATT&CK Tactics Are Not Tactics

Just what are "tactics"? Introduction MITRE ATT&CK  is a great resource, but something about it has bothered me since I first heard about it several years ago. It's a minor point, but I wanted to document it in case it confuses anyone else. The MITRE ATT&CK Design and Philosophy document from March 2020 says the following: At a high-level, ATT&CK is a behavioral model that consists of the following core components: • Tactics, denoting short-term, tactical adversary goals during an attack; • Techniques, describing the means by which adversaries achieve tactical goals; • Sub-techniques, describing more specific means by which adversaries achieve tactical goals at a lower level than techniques; and • Documented adversary usage of techniques, their procedures, and other metadata. My concern is with MITRE's definition of "tactics" as "short-term, tactical adversary goals during an attack," which is oddly recursive. The key word in the tacti
