We\u2019re excited to invite our community of infosec analysts and engineers to the second annual InfoSec Jupyterthon<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0taking place on December 2-3, 2021. This is an online event organized by our friends in the\u00a0Open Threat Research Forge<\/a>,<\/u>\u00a0together with folks from the\u00a0 Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center\u00a0(MSTIC).<\/p>\n Although this is not a Microsoft event, our Microsoft Security teams are delighted to be involved with helping organize it and deliver talks and workshops. Registration is free<\/a> and it will be streamed on YouTube Live both days from 10:30 AM to 8:00 PM Eastern Time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Figure 1. InfoSec Jupyterthon 2021 event image.

Last year\u2019s conference featured talks on a variety of topics, from integrating notebooks into your security operations (SOC) processes to using GPU-accelerated graphs, time series decomposition, and pandas<\/em> statistics to detect and understand attacker patterns.<\/p>\n Since many of last year’s attendees identified themselves as Jupyter notebooks beginners, this year’s conference will feature a series of beginner and intermediate tutorials during the mornings, covering notebooks, data analysis with pandas, visualization and using MSTIC’s infosec Python package\u00a0MSTICPy<\/a>. The afternoons will host speakers on a variety of notebook and info security topics, including:<\/p>\n Jupyter notebooks are a hybrid environment that combine code, data analysis, and visualization in a single document. Jupyter is widely used by scientists and data analysts. Some of the characteristics that make Jupyter a great platform for more advanced threat investigations are:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Figure 2: A sample visualization of a process tree generated in a Jupyter notebook.<\/em><\/p>\n If you ever find yourself limited by your SIEM but don’t want to break into full-blown development mode, Jupyter notebooks could be what you’re looking for.\u00a0You can read more about the benefits of using Jupyter in information security in\u00a0this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n Microsoft Sentinel includes a\u00a0Jupyter notebooks feature<\/a>\u00a0that utilizes open APIs to power advanced investigations and hunting. Notebooks are also featured in several other Microsoft services such as\u00a0Azure Data Studio<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Azure Machine Learning<\/a>. Google’s\u00a0Colab<\/a>\u00a0and Amazon’s\u00a0Sagemaker<\/a>\u00a0also have a big following, making Jupyter notebooks a popular tool with broad support and a variety of use cases.<\/p>\n We\u2019re looking forward to seeing you at InfoSec Jupyterthon 2021, December 2-3, 2021 from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM Eastern Time. To attend, make sure to register<\/a> for the event. You will get an email confirming your registration and well as additional information about the agenda, schedule, and workshop instructions.<\/p>\nWhat is InfoSec Jupyterthon?<\/h3>\n
