Advanced Cyber Threat Intelligence and Hunting. Detect APTs and zero-day attacks using CTI, behavioral analytics, and AI techniques

Gianluca Tiepolo, Dan Sorensen

Modern adversaries rely on stealth, living-off-the-land techniques, and zero-day exploitation to evade traditional security controls. This practical guide shows experienced defenders how to move beyond reactive alerts and build a proactive threat hunting capability driven by cyber threat intelligence.Written for seasoned cybersecurity professionals, the book demonstrates how to formulate CTI-driven hunt hypotheses and detect advanced persistent threats by analyzing adversary behavior across the Cyber Kill Chain. You’ll learn how to track APT infrastructure, map attacker TTPs using the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and identify post-exploitation activity that signals successful compromise.Through hands-on exercises, you’ll apply behavioral analytics, detection engineering, and machine learning–based anomaly detection to uncover what signature-based tools miss. Coverage includes threat hunting in cloud, hybrid, and ICS/OT environments, with real-world techniques for lateral movement, persistence, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration.By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped to run intelligence-led threat hunts, detect advanced threats earlier, and operationalize CTI as a core part of your defensive strategy.

Advanced Microsoft Content Management Server Development. Working with the Publishing API, Placeholders, Search, Web Services, RSS, and Sharepoint Integration

Andrew Connell, Angus Logan, Lim Mei Ying

Microsoft Content Management Server 2002 is a dynamic web publishing system with which you can build websites quickly and cost-efficiently. MCMS provides the administration, authoring, and data management functionality, and you provide the website interface, logic, and workflow. Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server (SPS) also features in the book. SPS 2003 enables enterprises to deploy an intelligent portal that seamlessly connects users, teams, and knowledge so that people can take advantage of relevant information across business processes to help them work more efficiently.You've mastered the basics of MCMS, and setup your own MCMS installation. You've only scratched the surface. This book is your gateway to squeezing every penny from your investment in MCMS and SPS, and making these two applications work together to provide an outstanding richness of content delivery and easy maintainability. As a developer, the Publishing API (PAPI) is at the heart of your work with MCMS, and this book starts by taking you on the most detailed tour of the PAPI you will find anywhere. As a live example, a component that reveals the structure of your MCMS site is created, taking you through how to manage the common elements of MCMS programmatically. Getting SharePoint and MCMS to work together is the next stop in the book. You will see how to use SharePoint's search engine to search MCMS content, publish content between the two systems, and create SharePoint Web Parts to draw content from MCMS.To ease your everyday work with MCMS, there are chapters on placeholder validation, and some useful custom placeholders for common MCMS tasks, such as a date-time picker, a placeholder for multiple attachments, and a DataGrid placeholder among others. There are a number of ways to consume MCMS content from the outside world, and we look at two exciting ways here; RSS and InfoPath/Web Services. The InfoPath solution provides another interface to MCMS content that allows content authors to concentrate on content and not the presentation. The book is rounded off with a number of must-have MCMS tips and tricks.Revert a posting to a previous version Change a postingÔø???s template Build a recycle bin Deal with links to deleted resources Update a postingÔø???s properties directly from a template file Re-write ugly URLs to friendly URLs Export resource gallery items using the site deployment API (SDAPI) Configure the position and size of the Web Author Console Dialogs Get frames and IFrames to work correctly in a template file
