AGENDA

Open source information (Internet, social media, academic, geospatial, and public data) contains many cyber attack planning signals from ill-intentioned actors. Using automated collection, governmental entities and corporations can divert cyber attacks like those that were directed at JP Morgan and the White House this past October. Manual methods are inadequate due to the volume of information to be analyzed and the rapid speed with which threats arise.

This one day training seminar focuses on the use of OSINT automation platforms which can provide early warning of and protection against Internet-based security attacks. Unlike traditional cyber security products designed based on known attacks, next-generation security intelligence systems must provide real-time alerts and permit immediate intelligence to be gathered about a threat. This specialized presentation will focus on how to use next-generation systems, best practices, and case examples. The session is not classified. Attendees will be vetted to ensure that only law enforcement and intelligence professionals are in the invitation-only audience.
