Episode Description
The landscape of cyber security threats is evolving, and with it, so are the methods of penetration testing and control validation. Sophisticated organizations now use a continuous purple-teaming methodology that combines offensive testers (Red Teamers) with Cyber Defenders (Blue Teamers) to identify blind spots in their Detection & Response (D&R) controls before a breach occurs. This new approach, called Breach Attack Simulation (BAS), is transforming the way security controls are tested and how analytics are developed. In this episode of our Cyber Security America podcast, we discuss best practices and lessons learned from the purple-teaming revolution. We explore the need for vigilance in monitoring desktop telemetry from EDR solutions, the effectiveness of Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) sensors and supporting log analytics. The days of simple penetration testing are over, and we explore what to look for in a Breach Attack Simulation managed or in-house capability. Join the conversation and don't miss out on this game-changing episode, packed with expert tips and insights.
