Ghost in the network

Detecting & Responding to Advanced Cyber Espionage

*Please note that this session has been filled and registration is closed

A stealthy cyber threat has slipped past your defenses, moving undetected like a ghost in the network. Using a fortunate zero-day vulnerability, attackers have breached your firewall, which is one of the hardest security layers to defend. Their mission? Espionage and data theft. Your team has minutes to detect the breach, stop the data from leaking, and prevent them from digging in deeper.

In this CyberConnect session, you'll step into a realistic Volt Typhoon-style attack (APT40), leveraging a FortiGate firewall zero-day, both of which have been making headlines recently. This hands-on crisis simulation will test your ability to respond fast, make tough calls, and contain the damage before it’s too late. Can you stay ahead of the attackers?

 

What you’ll gain:  

  • Hands-on experience managing a sophisticated cyber espionage attack and  defending against firewall breaches
  • Insights into how advanced threat actors exploit zero-day vulnerabilities
  • Enhanced incident response skills in a high-pressure scenario
  • Strategies to detect, contain, and mitigate stealthy intrusions
  • Real-world relevance—Volt Typhoon and FortiGate vulnerabilities have been dominating the news

Who should attend?  

  • CISOs, IT Directors, IT Managers, security experts
