Webinar Presentation: Hunting the Hunters - Tools that Spot Cyber Threats Before they Strike

SDSU's Dr. Lance Larson discussed how modern detection tools - like threat intelligence platforms, behavior analytics, and automated monitoring - can identify and disrupt threats before they impact our systems. Whether you manage IT resources, support research, or just want to better understand how SDSU protects its digital environment, this session gave you actionable insights into how we “hunt the hunters.”

Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a national campaign held each October to promote safer online practices and help individuals and organizations protect themselves against evolving cyber threats.

At SDSU, we are embracing this year’s theme - Empowering You to Secure 2025 and Beyond - by equipping our campus community with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to make informed decisions in today’s digital world.

Throughout the month, we’ll offer engaging webinars, interactive events, practical resources, and weekly topics designed to strengthen your cyber awareness and support a secure, resilient campus environment—now and into the future.
