Modern hybrid attackers move at alarmingly high speed. In this session, Justin Howe, Vectra Professional Services, shares some practical investigative tips and tricks to keep pace with attackers.
As cloud adoption accelerates, the need for accessible, comprehensive security testing tools has never been greater. In this session, Arpan Sarkar — the mastermind and creator behind open source tools like MAAD-AF — reveals his most recent breakthrough, Halberd. It's your new favorite cloud security testing sidekick (because cloud security shouldn't be rocket science).
Effective and efficient hybrid attack defense starts with NDR, but as hybrid attackers evolve, so must the tools to counter them. In this session, NDR zealot and customer champion Brad Woodberg shares how Vectra AI is advancing NDR to stay ahead of modern hybrid attackers.
Who better to understand modern hybrid attacks than those who defend against them everyday ? In this session, VP of Vectra MDR Gary Ruiz shares real-world stories of attacker versus defender and how Vectra MDR analysts have the upper hand against even the most advanced, stealthy attackers.
While achieving perfect cloud configuration is a laudable goal, it's ultimately a Sisyphean task. Organizations often focus relentlessly on rectifying misconfigurations to prevent breaches, mirroring the flawed belief that a secure environment is achieved through least privilege alone. However, this approach neglects the critical issue of valid access abuse, which often enables cloud attacks.
This presentation challenges the prevailing fixation on configuration perfection and advocates for a diversified cloud security strategy. It emphasizes the need to shift focus from solely preventing misconfigurations to acknowledging and mitigating the risks associated with valid access and privilege abuse. The session will delve into practical strategies for cloud security beyond configuration management, including architecting for blast radius reduction and detection and response. This multifaceted strategy provides a safety net, enabling the necessary and continuous improvement in cloud security without relying solely on the elusive goal of configuration perfection.
Modern hybrid attackers have mastered the art and science of control evasion. In this session, Wim Vandebroeck, lead Offensive Security mastermind at Vectra, breaks down their tactics and shows you how to test the efficacy of your existing controls.
Metadata is powerful for threat detection, but it's value extends far beyond just detections. In this session, Vectra Security Architect extraordinaire David Brooks provides tips on how to unleash the power of metedata. Learn how to leverage it for investigations, active posture auditing, saved searches, testing an IP, following up on an EDR alert, debugging network issues, identifying accounts using legacy protocols, and more.

We often get asked this very question, and the answer is not always the same. In this session, Director of Security Engineering Daniel Crossley and Director of Professional Services Niall Eritty answer answers the what, how, when and where of Vectra's role alongside SIEM — breaking down why SIEM needs Vectra more than Vectra needs SIEM.
