Description: Pandas is a Python Data Analysis library! In security, we deal with tons of data on a daily basis: logs, ticket data, user behaviour analytics, etc. Pandas is crucial in analyzing that data quickly and automating security processes for you. Alongside that, Pandas is a great python library for anyone interested in Machine Learning; note that this is not an ML workshop, but Pandas is used in ML.
This is an introductory workshop, but you will quickly pick up the concepts and learn a lot regardless of your year. You DO NOT need to know python for this workshop, so don’t let that stop you from signing up. If any of that appealed to you, SIGN UP!

We are in for a delicacy of a treat this meeting… and it’s going to be one for the history books! Join us this Thursday, November 26, @ 7 PM, for the latest news in InfoSec, a newly added segment, and some extraordinary guest speakers (PLURAL).
Starting off, Louai and Yusef tackle the latest news in InfoSec. Next, Kurt and Cem take a dive into the historical significance and impact of an exploit in a new segment we’re calling “Memory Lane”. Want to know how and why the notorious Buffer Overflow became so infamous? Join this deep dive – we guarantee you’ll learn something you never knew! To end off a great night, two ISS alumni, Kenny Hartlaub & Andrew Major – who currently work at Mandiant – give us the ins and outs of their Red Teaming and IR careers.
Breaking into Red Team & Incident Response – by Kenny Hartlaub (@Kenny) & Andrew Major
Mandiant pros Kenny Hartlaub and Andrew Major steer through the fascinating ride that is Red Teaming and IR. The ups, the downs, the journey to and the maintenance after, no stone will be left unturned as you peek over the shoulders of two industry pros. They will also be giving tips, tricks and advice on preparing to embark on these insanely cool career paths!
Kenny Hartlaub is an Associate Consultant on FireEye Mandiant’s Red Team. He has been in the security field for 4 years as a penetration tester and red teamer. Kenny graduated from the ISS program in 2018 and is very passionate about learning and growing in his field. He has come to know failures and successes over his time to where he is now and uses his experiences to help others succeed.
Andrew Major is a Consultant on FireEye Mandiant’s Incident Response Team. He graduated from the ISS program in 2018. After not having an idea of what to do at the end of year 3, a forensics lab accepted him for a co-op. Now with two years on Mandiant’s IR team fighting against APT groups, he is here to encourage others to get into the same rewarding field.
As the snow and cold really hit 🥶, come out (virtually) on Thursday for this superb night! See y’all there 😉
Agenda: 19:00 – Kickoff – Kurt 19:10 – News Roundup – Adam & Cem 19:30 – Project Den – Louai 19:55 – Break 20:00 – Protecting the Crown Jewels – Prashant Lal
This week’s ISSessions is going to be a treat for you all! Make sure you join in at 7:00 PM EST on Thursday, November 12th, either through Discord or YouTube.
This week we have our community manager Cem and alumni Adam delivering their hot takes on the news followed by a Project Den from vice presidente Louai. Then, after a short break we will come back with our night’s special guest speaker – Prashant Lal. Prashant is an Enterprise Architect working at Oracle Canada ULC and will be presenting a fascinating talk on “Database Security: Protecting the Crown Jewels.”
Database Security: Protecting the Crown Jewels According to Forbes, there are 2.5 quintillion bytes of data created every day. To even wrap your head around that number is difficult, but how about keeping it secure?
Prashant is an Enterprise Architect working at Oracle Canada ULC, and he has graciously offered to show us how Oracle converged databases are the future of database security. Just as the smartphone combined a camera, notebook, laptop, and browser into an exceptionally convenient form factor, Oracle aims to do the same with databases. This convergence was implemented in response to the modern, large-scale sophisticated web applications that required much more functionality(and inherently more security) than what other companies were providing. We hope to see you all there! You definitely won’t want to miss this ISSessions meet-up 🙂
