is there a non-paywall version? Outline wont read it either.
Mods, please update original.
If you've never been to such a conference I guess this can tell you a few things about it. Otherwise, there's nothing of value in the article anyway.
Even this:
> Over the course of the conference, there were 84,875 “network events,” or activities suspicious enough to make the team want to take a look.
If you know about IDS and SIEM then you know that such a number is meaningless. Because if its badly configured, you are going to get a plethora of false positives. Its just meant to impress the clueless reader.
An event like this can be a goldmine for blue teaming though. The pressure, the sheer amount of data, fine-tuning your rulesets, etc. But that part the article doesn't explain. Cause it doesn't sound as sexy as some high number.
TL;DR if you haven't read the article, you're not missing out. Move along, move along.
