Coffee Talk with SURGe: 2022-JAN-25 SANS CTI Summit, DHS Bulletin, Analysis of Competing Hypotheses

This week the Splunk security team was joined by two guest speakers: Rick Holland, Co-Chair of SANS CTI Summit and Scott R., head of threat hunting and cyber threat intelligence at Splunk. Audra Streetman provided an overview of the new memorandum signed by President Joe Biden aiming to improve cybersecurity for U.S. defense and intelligence agencies. The group also discussed a DHS bulletin, first reported by CNN that warns of the potential of a Russian cyberattack against the U.S. due to rising tensions in Ukraine. CISA also issued an alert regarding the threat of Russian state-sponsored cyberattacks targeting U.S. critical infrastructure. Rick and Scott competed in a charity countdown to explain the cyber threat intelligence acronym ACH, which stands for "analysis of competing hypotheses." Finally, the group discussed what we can expect this year at the SANS Cyber Threat Intelligence Summit, which kicks off on Thursday, January 27.
