SEC595: Applied Data Science and AI/Machine Learning for Cybersecurity Professionals

Over the past two decades, the cybersecurity landscape has undergone significant transformations, and the next 20 years promise to deliver even more profound changes. As we navigate this rapidly evolving environment, it is crucial to build resilience to be able to withstand and adapt to emerging threats. This talk will explore the past, present, and future of cybersecurity from a digital forensics practitioner on the shop floor, examining potential developments and challenges that are already here, as well as lie ahead, and discussing strategies and best practices to prepare for these changes.
Digital Forensics Intelligence (DFINT) in Practice: Identify, Collect, Analyze -- and Turn OSINT + DF into Actionable Outcomes
Every "hey u up?", every voice note, every emoji, every forwarded message--most people see noise. Investigators see signals.
In today's world, messaging platforms are where relationships form, deals happen, trust is built, and--sometimes--where wrongdoing hides in plain sight. This session takes you on a real-world journey through Digital Forensics INTelligence: from identifying the right data sources, to collecting and validating what matters, to processing, analyzing, and enriching it with OSINT context--until it becomes actionable intelligence.
