Running a proper Purple Team (<– add to your schedule)
Some folks within cybersecurity have probably heard the concept of purple teaming but what is it like to actually execute or leverage this type of service? What value does it provide? Where should it exist within the organization? What other challenges might you face when performing purple teaming?
This talk will dive into details on how to go from the concept or infancy of purple teaming to executing at a higher level of maturity and everything in between. I’ll walk thru specific examples of purple team exercises then debrief outcomes and values of those engagements. I’ll also walk thru variations of purple teaming (e.g., simulation vs emulation) and describe when a certain variation might be appropriate and when. Last but not least I’ll explain how to perform purple teaming in various environments (e.g., endpoint, cloud, network) and considerations for operating in those conditions.
