CySER Virtual Seminar — Cyber security operations on the front line — Karl Scheuerman, CrowdStrike – Falcon Complete

About the event

Speaker: Karl Scheuerman (CrowdStrike)

Title: Cyber Security Operations on the Front Line

Abstract:
Cyber security has become an increasingly relevant topic in our society, but what does it really look like for a security analyst to defend networks daily against criminal and state-sponsored adversaries? The presentation will shed light on cyber defense operations on the front lines, informed by examples from a leading managed detection and response service provider. Content will include threat trends as well as specific case studies. The presentation will also include discussion on ways to pursue a career in this line of work, including rarely considered citizen-soldier hybrid options like the National Guard.
