This live, interactive session will focus on a nation-state actor, revealing one phase of their campaign at a time as our hosts provide tradecraft clues and analysis.​​​​‌ Participants will examine how observed techniques align to MITRE ATT&CK, how vertical-specific targeting shapes operational decisions, and how behavioral patterns emerge across campaigns. Before the final reveal, attendees will have the chance to submit their best guess on which nation-state threat actor is behind the activity.​​​​‌ What You’ll Learn:​​​​‌ ‍ ​‍​‍‌‍ ‌ ​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌ ‌‍‍‌‌‍ ‍​‍​‍​ ‍‍​‍​‍‌ ​ ‌‍​‌‌‍ ‍‌‍‍‌‌ ‌​‌ ‍‌​‍ ‍‌‍‍‌‌‍ ​‍​‍​‍ ​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌ ​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​ ‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌ ‌​‌ ‌​‌ ​​‌ ​ ​ ‍‍​‍ ​‍ ‌‍‍‌‌‍ ‍‌ ‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍ ​​ ‌​​ ‌ ​ ​‌​‍ ‍‌ ​ ‌‍​‌‌‍ ‍‌‍‍‌‌ ‌​‌ ‍‌​‍ ‍‌ ​ ‌ ‌​‌ ‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍ ​‍ ‌‍‍‌‌‍ ‍‌ ‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍ ‍‌ ‌​​‍ ‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌ ‌​​‍ ‌‍ ‌‌‍ ‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌​ ‌‌ ​​‌ ​‍‌‍‌‌‌ ​ ‌‍‌‌‌‍ ‍‌ ‌​‌‍​‌‌ ‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍ ‌‍ ‍​ ‍ ‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​ ‌‌‍‌‍​ ‍​‌‍‌‍​ ​‌​ ‌​‌‍​‍​ ‍‌‌‍​‌​‍ ‌‌‍‌‍​ ​‍‌‍​‌​ ‌‌​‍ ‌​ ‌​‌‍‌​​ ​​​ ‍‌​‍ ‌​ ‍‌​ ​‍‌‍‌‍​ ‌ ​‍ ‌​ ​‍​ ‍‌​ ‌‌‌‍​‍‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‌​ ‍‌‌‍‌‍​ ‌​​ ​‍​ ‍‌​ ‍ ‌ ‌​‌ ‍‌‌ ​​‌‍‌‌​ ‌‌ ​​‌‍ ‌‍‌​‌‍​ ‌‍​‌‌ ​ ‌ ‌​​ ‍ ‌ ​​‌‍​‌‌ ‌​‌‍‍​​ ‌‌ ​​‌‍​‌‌‍‌ ‌‍‌‌‌​​‍‌ ‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‍ ​‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌‌ ​‍​‍‌‌​ ‌‌‌​​‍‌‌ ‌‍‍ ‌‍‌‌‌ ‍‌​‍‌‌​ ​ ‌​‌​​‍‌‌​ ​ ‌​‌​​‍‌‌​ ​‍​ ​‍‌‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍‌‌​ ​​‌‍‌‍​ ​‍‌‍​ Real adversary behavior – A phase-by-phase look at a real nation-state campaignMITRE ATT&CK in context – How techniques appear in real incidents​​​​‌ ‍ ​‍​‍‌‍ ‌ ​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌ ‌‍‍‌‌‍ ‍​‍​‍​ ‍‍​‍​‍‌ ​ ‌‍​‌‌‍ ‍‌‍‍‌‌ ‌​‌ ‍‌​‍ ‍‌‍‍‌‌‍ ​‍​‍​‍ ​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌ ​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​ ‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌ ‌​‌ ‌​‌ ​​‌ ​ ​Recognizing tradecraft patterns – What links behaviors across operations​​​​‌ ‍ ​‍​‍‌‍ ‌ ​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌ ‌‍‍‌‌‍ ‍​‍​‍​ ‍‍​‍​‍‌ ​ ‌‍​‌‌‍ ‍‌‍‍‌‌ ‌​‌ ‍‌​‍ ‍‌‍‍‌‌‍Sector-specific targeting – How industries influence attacker decisions​​​​‌...
