Applying Fraud Detection Techniques to Hunt Adversaries
Nicole Hoffman at All The Talks 2020 - Security
Like information security professionals, fraud analysts are inundated with data and often experience alert fatigue. As a former fraud analyst, I was often wasting time chasing false positives and I felt as though I wasn’t making a difference. By incorporating a proactive approach, I was able to identify a larger amount of fraudulent activity. In this presentation, I would like to discuss how the proactive techniques I utilized as a fraud analyst can be successfully applied to hunting cyber adversaries. Some of the techniques include behavioral analytics, creating a baseline, and having an adversarial mindset.
