Valiant Integrated Services’ Post

After months of deep diving (and still didn't dedicate enough time) I finally finished Applied Network Defense class on Investigation Theory. This is one of the BEST classes I have ever had! Looking at how an analyst works through an investigation, setting aside biases, and collecting evidence in a clean and concise manner. I truly think this should be a recommended course for ANY analyst. One of my favourite quotes is: "An analyst’s job is highly dynamic and requires dealing with constantly evolving threats. Doing the job is more art than science. Ad hoc, on-the-job training for new analysts is the norm."

Meet Oluf – our chaos controller ⭐ Oluf's main motivation for working in the defence industry has been confirmed by the events of recent years. The contribution to national security through the development of defence products has never meant more to him. At the same time, he is driven by exciting technology, high pace, the variety of work tasks and the fact that he must continuously keep up with the times and learn new things. “A typical systems engineer not only has an ability, but also an extreme urge, to put things into a bigger picture,” says Oluf. “He or she is not satisfied with just digging into the details but needs to understand how this is connected. They like to analyse, break down problems and solve them,” he says. 💡 Want to join us controlling the chaos? Now is your chance.

Last week I had the chance to present our work at Qatar Computing Research Institute entitled: "Semantic Ranking for Automated Adversarial Technique Annotation in Security Text" at #AsiaCCS2024 in Singapore. This work was in collaboration with Udesh Kumarasinghe, Husrev Taha Sencar, Sabri Boughorbel, Charitha Elvitigala, and Preslav Nakov. Paper: https://lnkd.in/ejTNZFme 🛠️ Problem: Given a text passage, identify the relevant MITRE ATT&CK Techniques associated with it. 🔐 Approach: Our system breaks down threat reports into sentences, maps attack behaviors in threat reports to MITRE ATT&CK techniques using a multi-stage ranking, and presents them to a security analyst for review. 📊 Improved Performance: Achieved a +35% recall rate improvement over previous state-of-the-art methods! 🧠 Models: Leveraging fine-tuned pretrained language models to enhance relevance modeling. All the models are available on HuggingFace: https://lnkd.in/enwRxfk4. 📚 Dataset and Source Code: Released a comprehensive benchmark dataset for the research community, facilitating future advancements. The dataset and the source code are available on GitHub: https://lnkd.in/ehhw4BxN. 🌟 State-of-the-Art Results: Significant improvements in technique annotation tasks, outperforming existing methods. 🌟 Open Source: Our models, code, and dataset are available on GitHub and HuggingFace for the community! Check them out and contribute!
