We discuss the ups and downs of Apple's approach to macOS data collection over the years, the data sources and types that are accessible to defenders, what 3rd party agents bring to the table for security monitoring, and much more. Plus, Jaron gives us some great bonus tips for finding persistence mechanisms and malicious processes in enterprise macOS devices.Our Guest - Jaron BradleyJaron has a background in Incident Response, threat hunting, and detections development. After focusing on large scale APT attacks he developed an interest in the more niche spaces of lesser explored operating systems. He has experience as both a SOC analyst as well as detections engineering at the endpoint level.Jaron currently works as the macOS Detections Lead at Jamf Threat Labs and manages his own security tools and content for security researchers atthemittenmac.com. He is also the author of OS X Incident Response Scripting and Analysis. A book he claims is slightly outdated but still relevant to a lot of macOS analysis today.Resources mentioned in this episodeWebsiteshttps://www.themittenmac.com (my website)objective-see.com (great mac security website)Major Blogs Referenced by Jamf Threat Labshttps://www.jamf.com/blog/shlayer-malware-abusing-gatekeeper-bypass-on-macos/https://www.jamf.com/blog/zero-day-tcc-bypass-discovered-in-xcsset-malware/https://www.jamf.com/blog/jamf-threat-labs-safari-vuln-gatekeeper-bypass/https://www.jamf.com/threat-labs/ (threat labs home)ConferencesJamf Nation User Conference -> https://www.jamf.com/events/jamf-nation-user-conference/2022/Objective by the sea 5.0 -> Check out John's SOC Training Courses for SOC Analysts and Leaders: SEC450: SOC Analyst Training - Applied Skills for Cyber Defense Operations LDR551: Building and Leader Security Operations Centers Follow and Connect with John: LinkedIn
