Webcast: The Quest for the Kill Chain Killer Continues
About this episode
Jordan and Kent have heard from a lot of people that the past Black Hills Information Security (BHIS) webcasts: “Group Policies That Kill Kill Chains” and “Active Directory Best Practices to Frustrate Attackers” have changed their business models for the better.
And since they’ve been offered the BHIS soapbox again, they thought it was time to update this material and combine it.
Security can sometimes move slow and other times blazingly fast. They’ll discuss what they’ve seen in the past year and how it impacts their view on baseline defensive configurations you shouldn’t be operating without.
At the end of the day, we are in this game to make things difficult for attackers, adversaries, and red teamers. We want to reduce mean time to detection. And we really want to help you make your networks and domains more secure.
So… why not update our favorite webcasts with everything we’ve learned since giving them?
