(10:45 AM - 12:45 PM)
10:45 AM - 12:45 PM
Workshop Summary
This workshop equips participants with skills to analyze network logs using Zeek, extract insights, and visualize findings with Jupyter. It begins with network detection and response (NDR) methodologies, focusing on Zeek’s capabilities for parsing and analyzing traffic logs. Attendees will learn to identify anomalies, extract indicators of compromise (IoCs), and enrich them using cyber threat intelligence (CTI) platforms. The session also covers best practices for integrating IoCs into security workflows to enhance threat detection and defense strategies.
