SWIFT Tech Symposium 2019

Tech Symposium is an annual event run by Cal Poly Pomona's SWIFT club. It provides attendees with lectures on various topics in security and systems administration from student and industry speakers.

At this year's Tech Symposium, Carlos and Karanbir gave a 2-hour joint lecture on SOC operations using Splunk, entitled "SIEM-ulation: Diving into Incident Response with Splunk." This lecture taught attendees about what a SOC does, what the job of a SOC analyst is really like, the difference between good and bad organizational security practices, and guidelines for investigation. The lecture ended with an overview of Splunk and its components and a live demonstration of using Splunk to find suspicious activity in your organization's environment.
