Threat hunting in AWS using FIRCY Sense and native AWS tools in Sydney

This is a hands-on technical workshop where you will learn how to use AWS native tools and FIRCY Sense for threat hunting in the AWS cloud.

What is FIRCY Sense?

Sense is the world’s first threat intelligence solution designed to hunt cloud-native scanners and adversaries. As organisations rely more on the cloud, our platform redefines security teams’ reach and capabilities from the ground up. Every day, we track over two million malicious events overlooked by other cybersecurity tools. Our platform provides some of the industry’s only meaningful insights into the global movements of cloud-native adversaries, scanners, bots, and more. Sense is powered by the largest network of cloud-based assets deployed for intelligence collection. The platform’s API can be used as a source for automated enrichment & data ingestion or as a standalone tool for continuous threat hunting and incident response. You can query for IP addresses, ASNs, and unique events related to your FIRCY-hosted decoys — we enrich every result with data from more than 25 sources of trusted threat intelligence for additional context.

Every attendee will be given the opportunity to trial FIRCY Sense after the session, obligation free and at no cost.
