Aurora Unveiled: Transforming Data into Actionable Insights
In an era where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and pervasive, the ability to swiftly detect and respond to suspicious or malicious activity is critical. This CCCS presentation explores how the Aurora analytical and cyber defense platform enhances cybersecurity operations through advanced anomaly detection.

Built on open-source technology, Aurora is designed to bridge cybersecurity gaps across the community. It provides powerful analytical tools and intuitive interfaces that empower CCCS to navigate the complexities of cyber threats with precision and efficiency. We will highlight the platform’s key capabilities, including its ability to process large datasets, generate insightful visualizations, and support real-time decision-making.

Through real-world examples and case studies, we will demonstrate how Aurora streamlines threat detection, improves incident response times, and strengthens overall cybersecurity posture. Following the main presentation, attendees will be invited to participate in two focused breakout sessions. The first session will showcase how AssemblyLine can be effectively used by malware analysts to streamline and enhance investigative workflows. The following session will highlight the combined use of Howler and Borealis for efficient triaging, offering practical insights into how these tools accelerate threat assessment and response.

Join us to discover how Aurora can illuminate the path toward a more secure and resilient cyber environment supporting our mission to defend and protect critical networks and systems.
