The Splunk Threat Research team develops security research to help SOC analysts detect adversaries attempting to escalate their privileges and gain elevated access to AWS resources. Learn how we simulate these attacks using Atomic Red Team, collect and analyze the AWS cloudtrail logs, and utilize pre-packaged Splunk detections to detect these threats.

Learn how to use automated playbooks to monitor new user accounts to ensure that threat actors like Hafnium cannot leverage the Active Directory system to exploit vulnerabilities.

Automation is optimizing SOC workflows but also shaking up the cybersecurity workspace. Skills that were once in high demand are decreasing in value. Splunker Matthias Maier took a closer look into cybersecurity developments and shares which cybersecurity skills professionals should be focussing on in the upcoming years.

These monthly postings will feature the favorite security-centric presentations, white papers and customer case studies from various peeps in the Splunk (or not) security world that WE think everyone should read. If you would like to read other months, please take a peek at previous posts in the "Staff Picks" series!

Implement security playbooks to automatically delete Microsoft Exchange Webshells and terminate W3WP spawned processes with Splunk Phantom.
