Talk Title: P1s, Rabbit Holes & Real-World Blues: Analyst Dilemmas in Modern Cybersecurity
Speaker: Robin Poudel – Security Engineer, Cythera
📝 Presentation Overview: Robin shares real-world insights and reflections from his journey transitioning into a cyber defence roles as first an Analyst and then an Engineer. He’ll walk us through some of the dilemmas, escalation decisions, and investigative rabbit holes modern analysts face — especially in high-pressure environments where alerts become P1s in seconds. You’ll gain visibility into what “the deep end” really looks like in today’s SOCs and how to stay resilient while navigating it.

🛠️ Workshop: Practical Phishing Email Analysis & Threat Hunting
Facilitator: CyberLynk Team
🔍 Workshop Description:
Phishing continues to be the leading cause of initial access in major breaches — accounting for over 75% of intrusion pathways globally. In this hands-on workshop, the CyberLynk team will demonstrate how attackers leverage phishing infrastructure and malware-laced payloads to bypass traditional controls.
Together, we will:

• Deconstruct malicious phishing emails
• Analyse headers, embedded links, and attachments
• Use dynamic tools to safely test payloads
• Map attacker techniques to MITRE ATT&CK (Initial Access + Credential Access)

✅ Workshop Objectives

• Understand common phishing TTPs (Tactics, Techniques & Procedures)
• Manually analyse and validate malicious indicators
• Perform dynamic email threat analysis in a controlled lab
• Learn tooling and scripting to build repeatable phishing detection workflows

🎓 Learning Outcomes Attendees will leave with the skills to:

• Analyse phishing attempts with precision
• Identify and extract indicators of compromise
• Apply threat intel to enrich and validate findings
• Build their own phishing response SOP (Standard Operating Procedure)

🏆 Prizes Participants can win:

• Sponsor giveaways
• CyberLynk training discounts or lab access
• Recognition for top phishing analysis
