SolarWinds breach: Insights from the trenches | Live incident response demo

It’s been a busy week for cybersecurity professionals as they respond to the SolarWinds breach. On December 13, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued an emergency directive to immediately “disconnect or power down SolarWinds Orion products” as they were being actively exploited by malicious actors.

Infosec Skills author and KM Cyber Security managing partner Keatron Evans is helping numerous clients respond to the breach. In this live discussion and incident response demo (recorded Friday, December 18) he covers what happened with the SolarWinds supply chain attack, immediate action you can take to protect your systems and industry responses to help mitigate the incident. He also provides a live demo of Snort, memory forensics and Zeek, as well as a live Q&A with attendees.
