Hello everyone,


Lunch seminar will return this semester, Thursday (3/27) at Noon in 4201, with a talk from Andrew Hunt. This will be both an informational tech talk and a recruitment talk and Pizza will be provided.


Abstract:


In APT as Art, Andrew Hunt will describe the utilization of historical repositories, graph analysis, and visualization techniques to develop intelligence about adversary behavior. Armed with this knowledge, early staging of campaigns can be tracked, allowing for more effective, preemptive action to engage the adversary and tip the advantage to the defenders.


Bio:
