Patrick Blais examines the critical gap between threat detection and resolution. He discusses how investigation using immutable packet data and analytics reduces mean time to knowledge.
Organizations prioritize detection and response while overlooking investigation - the critical gap between identifying threats and resolving them. Security teams face overwhelming alert fatigue, yet more detection tools compound rather than solve the problem. Understanding how incidents happened and preventing recurrence requires proper investigation, not just identifying that something occurred.
Mean time to knowledge dominates incident resolution life cycles. Effective investigation leverages immutable packet data as forensic evidence, with analytics extracting actionable metadata. This transforms networks from alert-generating liabilities into investigative assets spanning IT and OT environments.
Led by Patrick Blais of Netscout, the session will explore:
- How to bridge detection-to-response gaps through investigation, reducing mean time to knowledge;
- Leveraging packet data and metadata analytics for forensic evidence;
- How to build continuous learning cultures treating investigations as proactive opportunities rather than reactive responses.
