WS2 - Purple Protocol: Adversary emulation for everyone

Instructed by:  Patrick “PilotPat” Raiden

Level of Difficulty: Beginner

Abstract:

Have you ever been curious about the techniques used by most notorious hackers to infiltrate some of the world's biggest networks? What would happen if they attacked yours? Companies burn millions of dollars in cybersecurity defenses, yet breaches still happen.  Why? Because victory favors the prepared, not the well-funded.

This beginner friendly workshop explores a practical way to test your defenses. You will learn to organize and execute a Threat Intelligence-led Purple Team Engagement with Open Source tooling. You will learn how to select relevant Threat Actors, execute test cases, document results, generate action items for the Blue Team to remediate, and report the results in a way that even executives can understand. (Spoiler: They like Pie Charts, Line Graphs, and bright colors) This will all be done on a VM we will provide with the Open Source tooling pre-installed. Everything learned in this course can be replicated at your organization.

Join us in this workshop to learn why Purple Teaming is undeniably one of the most methodical and effective ways to improve your resilience against the threat actors most likely to attack your organization.
