The evil Professor Moriarty is hunting for a hiding Sherlock Holmes, whose whereabouts are only known to Sherlock’s brother, Mycroft.  In this webinar, we will discuss how Moriarty and his gang hacked into Mycroft’s web environment to search for clues, and how Sherlock turned the tables and detected their every step.  This webinar is based on a newly released SANS poster that focuses on Cloud Threat Detection, set in the world of modern-day Sherlock Homes.

Learning Objectives:

  • You will learn about common attacks against cloud environments
  • You will learn about the log capabilities of cloud environments to detect them
  • You will understand some of the design decisions that go into Detection Engineering in the cloud
