Learn about modern techniques for conducting Memory Forensics using MemProcFS, and how the tool can be used to enhance analysis. This session will highlight the advantages of being able to leverage MemProcFS's rapid performance and compare with it with Volatility. A number of use cases will be explored along with the general relevance of memory forensics for malware analysis.

Participate in the handling of an incident as it unfolds in real time with the choices you make having a direct impact on how the scenario unfolds. Your technical skills will be tested as you attempt to uncover the root cause of the breach, and the intentions of the attacker whilst trying to contain and remediate the incident.

Delivered largely through the CyberStart platform, an engaging and interactive environment will be created to enable attendees to gain hands on time with the tools and techniques used by cybersecurity professionals in a safe environment, building a stronger awareness of not only the implications of cybersecurity on their day to day lives, but the opportunities available to them.

Ransomware attacks have been on the rise for the past several years leading to disastrous consequences for businesses across the globe. In its continued thrust to disseminate learnings gained from forensics investigations, security operations, and incident response activities from
across the world, SISA is hosting an exclusive session on ‘Ransomware Prevention and Rapid Recovery.

Welcome to the first cyber range team competition ever to take place at AICS!
Who is the cyber range competition for?
The competition is intended for cyber defense teams: incident response, SOC, or CSIRT team
members.
What is unique about this competition?
Unlike traditional CTFs and hackathons, the teams will be challenged in defending against real
world cyber-attacks in a virtual SOC.
How Does it Work?
The tournament will take place onsite - at AICS, in teams of three.
Each team will log into a cyber range, where you will collaborate to respond to a fully
simulated attack, running in a virtual network. You will use commercial security tools like a SIEM,
firewall and network analysis tools to respond to the incident. The tournament takes place in
teams of three, one team per organization. Please enter your organization name in registration
and we will assign you to your team. You will receive a confirmation and a calendar invite
once all three team members have registered and qualified.
What do you need?
A laptop with the option to connect to the WIFI in the room, without restrictions to connect to
the cloud-based cyber range.

A company is concerned as an employee has recently handed in their notice to leave the company; however they have been unhappy for some time. As the companies’ policy states, the member of staff has had their roles removed, and they are on gardening leave (employer asked them not to come into work, or to work at home or another location during the notice period).

However, during a routine review, there was some concerning access to intellectual property and customer databases. You have been asked to review it and see if there was any theft.

An escape room/scavenger hunt puzzle event where high school participants get to reverse engineer, break, hack, decrypt, and use as many cyber security tools as they can to escape a digital attack.

Students will learn about and use techniques such as cryptography, Cipher Disks, Cesar’s Codes in order to crack codes and decipher texts that will lead them to the next step of the puzzle. The participants will also create their own messages and other groups must try to decipher them to land the first place in the event. 

The hints and puzzles will be revolving around different cyber security techniques and social media and internet safety skills by solving logic puzzles, cryptograms, do and don’t activities, word scrambles, multiple choice questions to obtain the needed codes to solve the game.
