Presented at GFIRST in San Antonio, TX on August 18, 2010.
In 2010, the APT suddenly made everyone’s hot list. MANDIANT has analyzed enough potentially compromised hosts over the last five years to know what works and what doesn’t. We’ll review real APT cases and the best tools, techniques and timing to counter this high-profile threat. You’ll see (sanitized) actual incident data and history, from detection through response.
