We’re excited to welcome Thirumalai Natarajan (@th1rum), Senior Manager of Incident Response & Remediation at Mandiant (part of Google Cloud), to the BlueHat India stage. In his session, “Incident Response in Virtual Infrastructure: Combating APT and eCrime Threats,” Thirumalai will explore how hypervisors—key to virtual infrastructure—are becoming prime targets for sophisticated eCrime groups and nation-state actors due to their low visibility and lack of traditional endpoint protections. This talk will offer a practical approach to incident response in virtualized environments, with a focus on analyzing logs, memory artifacts, and flat files. #BlueHatIndia
