A Visual Summary of SANS Cyber Threat Intelligence Summit 2022

On January 27-28, thousands from around the globe tuned in for the SANS CTI Summit 2022. Over two days, the CTI community came together for in-depth presentations and panel discussions focused on analytic techniques, case studies, and methods for producing actionable intelligence. It was a great opportunity for cybersecurity professionals and those new to the field.

We invited Ashton Rodenhiser and Emma Richard of Mind's Eye Creative to create graphic recordings of our Summit presentations. If you missed a talk or are looking to view the SANS DFIR Summit through a visual lens, take a look at the recordings below.

In addition to graphic recordings, PDFs of Summit presentations are available on the SANS Summit Archives page (SANS account required) and videos will be posted to YouTube over the next several months.

*If you registered for the Summit, video recordings are available on your Summit Access page in your SANS Portal.
