DESCRIPTION

Are you maximizing the effectiveness of your purple teaming with true threat emulation?

Purple teaming, an advanced cybersecurity exercise focused on red and blue team collaboration and continuous testing, is a great way to test the strength of your security defenses and level-up your team’s processes and security posture. It also fosters a culture of continuous collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and a true breakdown of the adversarial relationship between the offense and defense.

However, throwing random exploits at your SOC will not help your organization identify the true gaps and vectors that a real adversary will use against you in a targeted attack. We don’t “purple team” to put on a show – we do it to better understand the resilience of our defenses in the face of a determined adversary. Basing our offensive activities in a purple team engagement around threat emulation is the way.

You don’t need to have a team of intelligence analysts to properly plan a threat-based purple team engagement. Join cybersecurity experts Nick Popovich and Shawn Scott of PlexTrac to learn how you can:

  • Leverage open-source threat emulation plans for common APTs and criminal groups
  • Use MITRE ATT&CK to build your own emulation plans that present a realistic attack lifecycle
  • Use PlexTrac’s Runbooks module to supercharge your planning, execution, reporting and remediation tracking

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to be proactive in the New Year. Join us live on Zoom on Wednesday, March 1st at 10am PT / 1pm ET. See you there!
