Hey, Blue Teams: Stop Waiting for Pen Tests to Find Gaps. It’s Time to Take Control of Your Offensive Testing. - ERP Spain.com - España y América Latina

It’s 2024 – why do you still rely on manual pen testing to validate your security posture? It’s labor-intensive, doesn’t reveal real-time vulnerabilities at scale, and typically happens only once or twice a year. This lack of automation combined with infrequent testing windows makes it impossible to have a clear and up-to-date understanding of the high-risk attack paths, vulnerabilities and misconfigurations happening inside your IT environment right now. There’s got to be a better way. And there is. But first, it’s time to stop waiting for Red Teams to take the first step when it comes to validating an organization’s security posture. Blue Teams can take matters into their own hands. By using their own managed security controls, they can do things like create rules in their EDR and WAF to block exploitation attempts from a known vulnerability. In this session, we’ll talk about the benefits and practical application of automatic, continuous security control testing. And how shifting the power dynamic between Blue and Red Teams can lead to a more optimized approach to security. One that can be automatically built into an existing environment and yield results such as automated testing, continuous validation and coverage at scale. Finally, we will show real-world examples of threats vs. actual attack paths, vulnerabilities vs. controls, and practical steps to remediation.
