Abstract:
Understanding, anticipating, and identifying the wide array of evolving threats facing organizations today requires well-developed skills, experience, and analytical prowess. Current Incident Response programs can integrate Red team exercises to simulate an adversary’s mindset and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to mature processes, validate system protections and enhance the skills of staff. We will be discussing the use of adaptive red team exercises to create a cycle of rapid improvement in both detection and response within today’s Blue Team programs.
