This session will explore some obvious and some less obvious reasons one might employ when making the case for onboarding more logs into your SIEM solution. We will explore some common log onboarding objections and challenges, such as cost and alert fatigue. And we will consider log quality such as field validation, and business context enrichment; to best inform an analyst during a security incident. At the end of the session an attendee should consider that more logs results in greater visibility, which inherently improves the overall security posture.

Unveiling the Digital Shadows: OSINT Intelligence and Doxing

Presenter:

  • Anglea Robinson, Cybersecurity Specialist Lead, OHS, Division of Public Safety

In today’s interconnected world, the ability to gather and analyze publicly available information, known as Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), has become a crucial skill for various fields including cybersecurity. This presentation will touch on the fundamentals of OSINT, exploring its lifecycle from data collection to actionable insights.

We will also address the darker side of OSINT: doxxing. Doxxing involves the malicious act of publicly revealing private information about an individual, often with the intent to harass or harm. Attendees will learn about the techniques used by threat actors to gather sensitive information, the risks posed by doxxing, and strategies to protect against such threats.
