Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Blue teamers are pushed to the edge when the latest vulnerability hits the street just before the holiday break! Many are looking forward to the break and yet another massive vulnerability hits the streets. This time it is Log4J the scrouge of the holiday break and it impacts millions of devices and services. On No! The game begins. 

In this course, we will provide an overview of this massive vulnerability and its impact. We will review the analysis that vendors and agencies have provided and leverage that insight to capture what we need to discover our organization's risk. We will cover the importance of patching, but we all know not everything can be patched and therefore we also need to cover other techniques when it comes to mitigation. We will leverage a test environment showcasing the exploit in action to highlight some of the opportunities we as defenders may have.

Finally, we will leverage a commercial suite of technologies just to put into perspective how one can detect and mitigate the risk at multiple layers when patching is NOT an option. Note: the commercial tools being leveraged are tools available to the author and everyone attending this course is encouraged to leverage their tools of choice – the goal is perspective only and one should always maximize existing investments when minimizing and mitigating risk. Use the tools in your toolbox!
