The Insider Threat / Malware / Ransomware Track at SANS Spring Cyber Solutions Fest 2026 brings together leading practitioners, researchers, and solution providers to explore how modern threats are evolving inside and outside the organization. As hybrid work, identity compromise, and AI-driven malware reshape the attack surface, security teams must rethink detection, response, and prevention strategies across the user, endpoint, and data layers. This track highlights real-world case studies, new threat-hunting methodologies, and emerging research on adversary behavior, providing attendees with actionable insights they can immediately apply.
Sessions will dive deep into insider-risk analytics, identity-centric security models, modern malware analysis, and ransomware disruption techniques—emphasizing tools and practices that improve visibility and resilience. Experts will unpack how organizations can detect early indicators of compromise, reduce dwell time, and strengthen cross-team workflows between SOC, IR, threat intelligence, and insider-risk functions. Attendees will leave with a sharper understanding of how to anticipate attacker moves, operationalize intelligence, and build a proactive defense strategy against today’s most damaging insider and ransomware threats.
