Workshops

Adopting Docker containers works well for most fast moving orgs, due to flexibility, isolation, transient existence, ease of management and patching. On the other hand, it becomes a challenging environment when the sensitivity level of the data traversing the environment increases. Monitoring systems, applications and network; performing digital forensics in case of an incident can easily become daunting tasks in such a volatile environment. In this talk I will discuss monitoring the Docker container pipeline with osquery, and performing memory forensics with the Volatility Framework within the context of detection and incident response cause ‘gotta catch them all’!

Requirements:

  • Laptop with the following minimum specifications:
    • >= 2.0 GHz, multi-core CPU
