Logs are analyzed for a wide variety of reasons\, from researching system performance issues to responding to a cyberattack. While there are a variety of software applications designed to ingest and analyze logs\, they can often be expensive. \nPowerShell provides an alternative for viewing and analyzing Windows logs. PowerShell contains built-in commands to view and search logs on local systems. In addition\, its data analysis capabilities provide the ability to import and analyze Windows log files (e.g.\, evtx files). Since PowerShell is installed on all Microsoft systems\, it is a free platform to build log analysis scripts for specific use cases. \nThis one-day hands-on workshop will cover the PowerShell commands and steps needed to build scripts for auditing and monitoring windows logs. The course will also provide examples of use cases for auditing and monitoring Windows log files. This course builds on the concepts presented in the PowerShell Workshop: Basics. \nThis workshop is an excellent opportunity for those who are new to using PowerShell to work with Windows log files.

Though environments may be FedRAMP authorized and/or subject to external assessments\, organizations will have responsibilities for certain activities\, such as account management\, privileged access\, and some configuration settings. Thus\, auditors will need to access cloud data to audit these environments. \nMicrosoft Entra ID\, formerly Azure Active Directory\, is Microsoft’s cloud service that provides identity and access management services to Microsoft’s cloud environments. Like Active Directory\, Entra ID allows organizations to establish user\, device\, and group accounts. Azure can also sync with an on-premises Active Directory. While Entra ID provides web interfaces\, auditors often need information that is not easily or efficiently retrieved from these interfaces.   \nThis two-day course will cover the Microsoft Graph and PowerShell commands needed to obtain data from Entra ID. The course will also cover basic audit tests that can be performed using PowerShell on Entra ID data. Attendees will be provided access to a virtual server to practice commands and perform hands-on exercises.  Auditors and security professionals who audit Entra ID will benefit from attending this course. \nRegistration closes on May 15\, 2024 @ 5pm. \nRegister Today! \n  \nAgenda \n\n\nDay 1 \n\n\n\n Lesson 1 – Accessing Azure and Entra ID\n Lesson 2 – User data\n Lesson 3 – Group data\n Lesson 4 – Role and Administrator data\n Lesson 5 – Device data\n\n\n\n\nDay 2 \n\n\n\n Lesson 6 – Application data\n Lesson 7 – Licenses\n Lesson 8 – Authentication Methods\n Lesson 9 – Entra ID Directory Policies\n Lesson 10 – Additional Entra ID Management Features\n\n\n  \nAdditional Course Details \nHands-on Lab Exercises \nEach student will be provided access to a Windows Server to use during the course.

Whether it’s data on user accounts\, computer accounts\, group membership\, or configurations in group policy objects\, Active Directory is often a critical data source for Windows system audits. \nWhile Active Directory graphic user interfaces can be used to obtain this information\, they are often not efficient to use and some information isn’t easy to find and download. This often results in administrators needing to provide data or screenshots. \nPowerShell® provides a better method of obtaining information from Active Directory. As a Microsoft product\, PowerShell has a variety of commands for working with Active Directory. These include commands to obtain data on Active Directory objects\, such as users\, computers\, groups\, and group policy objects. Using simple PowerShell scripting capabilities\, auditors can develop scripts to efficiently collect data from Active Directory and perform audit tests on this data. \nThis two-day hands-on course will cover the PowerShell commands needed to obtain user\, computer\, group\, and group policy object data from Active Directory. The course will also cover basic audit tests that can be performed using PowerShell on Active Directory objects.  Attendees will be provided access to a virtual server to practice commands and perform hands-on exercises. \nAuditors and security professionals who audit Active Directory will benefit from attending this course. \nThis course builds on the concepts presented in the Seminar – Introduction to Auditing with PowerShell®. \nRegistration closes on April 10\, 2024 @ 5pm. \nRegister Today! \n  \nAgenda \n\n\nDay 1 \n\n\n\n Overview of PowerShell’s Active Directory and Group Policy modules\n Walkthrough of commands for:\n\n\n Organizational units\n User objects\n Computer objects\n Group objects\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDay 2 \n\n\n\n Walkthrough of commands for Group Policy Objects\n Basic scripts with audit tests for Active Directory objects\n Exporting data into CSV files\n\n\n  \nMaterials Provided During the Seminar \nEach student attending the seminar will be provided: \n\n Presentation materials\, which include detailed examples\n PowerShell script for working with Active Directory\n Answers to Practice Exercises\n Link to the seminar recording\, good for 30 days after the seminar\n\n  \nInstructor \n\n \n\n\nMike Howard\nCISA\, MBA \nMike Howard is an experienced IT auditor with over 29 years of IT auditing experience in the Federal Government.

Although the unprecedented public spending in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic ‐ and the similarly unprecedented amount of taxpayer dollars lost to fraud ‐ have drawn more attention to this problem in recent years\, the government's fraud woes long predate the pandemic. The U.S. government needs to move with haste to systematically identify fraud risks that threaten its new benefit programs. If these agencies don't take proactive steps to prevent fraud now ‐ choosing instead to let law enforcement entities chase after fraudsters only after they've stolen program funds ‐ the U.S. government stands to lose several billion more in taxpayer dollars\, with dubious prospects for recovery. In this session\, Linda Miller of Guidehouse will provide insights on how to stanch the flow of money from vulnerable agencies. \n\n\n9:30 AM – 10:30 AM \n\n\nIdentity Theft and Tax Schemes \nPresenter: Anika Pompey (Internal Revenue Service (IRS)) \nAccording to the IRS\, “tax-related identity theft happens when someone steals your personal information to commit tax fraud. Your taxes can be affected if your Social Security number is used to file a fraudulent return or to claim a refund or credit.” During this session\, Anika Pompey will discuss identity theft and tax schemes\, how to identity and protect yourself against business and individual identity theft\, and steps to take if an individual or business becomes the victim of tax-related identity theft. In addition\, Anika Pompey will also discuss the 2022 Dirty Dozen Tax Schemes. \n\n\n10:30 AM – 11:30 AM \n\n\nHow does fraud happen via APIs? \nPresenter: Jeremy Synder (FireTail.io) \nIn this talk\, Jeremy Snyder will examine the causes of API data breaches and API abuse. He'll explain the main control factors\, and where to provide observability or instrumentation components to view the necessary data elements. In addition\, Jeremy will discuss best practices around API security\, and building API security into a development cycle or a security operations pro. \n\n\n11:30 AM – 12:30 PM \n\n\nAdversarial OSINT Reconnaissance \nPresenter: Kirby Plessas (Plessas Experts Network\, Inc.) \nFew realize how broadly Open Source Intelligence gathering can impact their organization's attack surface including its network\, metadata\, and personnel. Join Kirby Plessas for a rapid-fire\, hands-on\, live demonstration of the reconnaissance an adversary can commit against an organization using publicly available data. Scouring Google\, exploiting images\, and collecting critical data shared by and about individuals round out this attack planning demonstration that also points the way toward what should be done to secure your organization. \n\n  \nPresenters \nLinda Miller\nPartner\, Guidehouse \nLinda Miller is an expert in helping organizations identify and manage their risks to fraud. Linda is a former Olympian in the sport of rowing\, a dynamic speaker and a passionate advocate for diversity in the workplace.

This course explores two fundamental aspects of using PowerShell: objects and scripting.  PowerShell is built around the concept that data in PowerShell is an object of a specific type.  An object can be as simple as text or number or as complex as a collection of objects. Auditors need to understand this concept to unlock the information stored in different object types and the actions that can be taken.  PowerShell is also more than a series of commands; it is a scripting language complete with its own version or popular scripting features and syntax. While built for systems administrators\, auditors can also use key aspects of PowerShell’s scripting language to write effective and repeatable scripts for use in their audits. \nThis seminar is for any Auditor\, IT Auditor\, or Cybersecurity professional who want to incorporate PowerShell into their toolkits for accomplishing audits and projects. \nRegistration closed on November 3\, 2022 @ 12pm.  Capacity is limited to 30 registrants.
