Advanced Threat Hunting: Automating Large-Scale Operations with LLMs

Security professionals face an overwhelming tide of data and increasingly sophisticated adversaries. This hands-on workshop dives deep into the VirusTotal platform (Google Threat Intelligence), empowering you to move beyond the traditional web interface and harness its full potential for large-scale, automated threat intelligence and hunting.

You won’t just learn about VT; you’ll actively engage in real-time threat hunting exercises, catching the behaviors of advanced persistent threat (APT) actors and cybercrime groups. Discover how to leverage the VirusTotal API with Python and Google Colab notebooks to automate massive data consumption, transform raw indicators into deeply analyzed, actionable intelligence using LLMs helping you build visualizations and patterns identification that allows you to enrich your information for better understanding.
