Rise of the Infostealers
Surge in infostealer malware in recent months has allowed threat actors to gain access to victim machines. It has become very common for threat actors to spend time in the target environment, harvest confidential information, gain better understanding about the victim's environment and tailor the attack to impose maximum damage, move laterally and escalate privileges to maintain persistence and maximize their revenue.

Foiling Modern Attacks: Map MITRE ATT&CK Tactics to Falco Rules
With more and more companies moving their applications and infrastructure to the cloud, the potential attack surface has expanded dramatically. Attackers know they have a window of opportunity and have become savvier at carrying out advanced cloud and container attacks. Within seconds of entering your cloud environment, they can begin conducting cryptomining, supply chain attacks, and other forms of advanced attacks. Without the ability to detect and respond to these attacks in real-time, it’s almost impossible to stop them from causing significant damage.

Beyond ChatGPT, Building Security Applications using OpenAI API
ChatGPT was launched by OpenAI in November 2022. Since then, it has been the subject of many discussions. ChatGPT itself is one application that was built on top of OpenAI’s GPT-3 models. We can programmatically interact with these models via OpenAI API. In this talk, we will go beyond ChatGPT and discuss OpenAI API, fine-tuning our own models for specific tasks, and building security applications on top of them. We will be building a sample application that interprets human requests and performs the basic tasks requested.

SANS Dubai Community Night - Data Recovery (beyond the software)
Data recovery is probably one of the most misunderstood technologies in the computer world. Myths abound about how to recover data, with freezing your hard drive being a very common one of these myths. This presentation will get down to the nuts and bolts of data recovery, including the actual internal workings of the drive, what to do when a drive motor fails, when read/write heads fail, and when programming turns the hard drive into a brick. This is presented in layman’s terms so it is very easy to understand. We will be showcasing the best software to use for easier recoveries, as well as live demonstrations of some of our lab equipment for advanced data recovery! We will be discussing rotational media (spinning hard drives), SSD hard drive recovery, thumb drives, cellular, and monolith recovery. By the end of this lecture, you will be much more knowledgeable on how hard drives work, how data lives, and how to recover it when all seems lost.

Pivot and Pillage: Detecting Lateral Movement
Whether performed by an insider threat, or by an external threat that's managed to get a foothold inside, the next step in the attacker's dance is usually the pivot: moving from one host to another to expand control or pillage a particular resource. In this talk we will look at some of the more commonly encountered pivot techniques to help you understand, detect, and deter malicious, lateral movement within your network.

SANS Community Night Riyadh March 2023 - 5 Critical Skills for Infosec Professionals
What are the critical skills that extremely successful infosec professionals need and how can we develop these? Obviously, technology matters but it's not just about technology. In Ted Demopoulos' research, talking to, interviewing, and basically spending time with infosec professionals that are so successful that the moniker “Rock Star" is sometimes entirely appropriate, he has distilled 5 critical professional, and sometimes, life skills. This talk covers these 5 skills with plenty of practice advice.
