Threat Hunting Summit Talk: Threat Hunting in the Dark: A Practical Approach
With Shane Hartman
June 17 @ 1:30 pm – 1:55 pm ET
You know threats exist on your network—but where do you begin looking? Which direction should you go, and do you even have the data you need to find them?
Join Shane Hartman, Principal IR Consultant at TrustedSec, as he turns threat hunting from guesswork into a disciplined, hypothesis‑driven process.
You’ll learn how to cast a wide net, refine your hypotheses, validate suspicious behavior with real telemetry, and convert findings into actionable detections.
By the end of this session, you’ll have a repeatable method for creating, assessing, and executing hunts—so the next time you’re hunting in the dark, you won’t be going in blind.
