RSA Conference® 2022 Security Operations Center Findings Report

NetWitness and Cisco released the third annual Findings Report from the RSA Conference® 2022 Security Operations Center (SOC).

The RSA Conference® SOC analyzes the Moscone Center wireless traffic, which is an open network during the week of the Conference.

The role of the SOC at RSA Conference is an educational exhibit sponsored by NetWitness and Cisco. It has elements of a SOC like you would create to protect an organization. The RSAC SOC coordinated with the Moscone Center Network Operation Center for a SPAN of the network traffic from the Moscone Center wireless network. In the SOC, NetWitness had real time visibility of the traffic traversing the wireless network. Cisco provided automated malware analysis, threat intelligence, DNS visibility and Intrusion Detection; brought together with SecureX.

The goal of the RSAC SOC is to use technology to educate conference attendees about what happens on a typical wireless network. The education comes in the form of daily SOC tours and an RSA Conference® session. You can watch the replay of the ‘EXPOSURE: The 3rd Annual RSAC SOC Report’ session here.

The findings report addresses several security topics, including:

Encrypted vs. Unencrypted network traffic
Cleartext Usernames and Passwords
Voice over IP
Threat Hunting
Malware Analysis, through the NetWitness® integration
Malicious Behavior
Domain Name Server (DNS)
Automate, Automate
Intrusion Detection
Firepower Encrypted Visibility Engine (EVE)
Firepower and NetWitness® Integration

Look forward to seeing you in 2023!
