No matter how hard organizations in Latin America try to stop malicious attackers from infiltrating their IT systems, breaches are inevitable - as recent events demonstrate.

Brazil's largest meat processing company, JBS, was the victim of a ransomware attack which shut down its facilities in the US, Canada and Australia, with payments reputedly made using Bitcoin.

Another ransomware attack hit Brazilian insurance firm Porto Seguro while in Argentina, the government agency Registro Nacional de las Personas had its Renaper database hacked after cyber criminals breached its network.

Attendees will learn how to tackle cyber security incidents from both the attack and defense perspective, with a Purple Team Exercise focusing on emulating the behavior of hackers most likely to attack your organization.

So rather than just simulating an external attack or penetration test, SANS will combine the exercise with how the defenders will detect and respond to the incident and help your organization develop the skills to apply a dynamic incident response process better suited to defending against evolving cyber-attacks.

A key focus is on encouraging Red Teams and Blue Teams to work collaboratively to better detect and respond to cyber-attacks.
