Security News > 2023 > September > Hands-on threat simulations: empower cybersecurity teams to confidently combat threats

Security teams need easily replicable techniques to emulate threat scenarios to test their defense skills against the skill level of cyber-attackers.

At least yearly, there should be a full red team assessment; the red team is made up of offensive security professionals whose role is to exploit the company's vulnerabilities and overcome cybersecurity controls.

The rapid evolution of threats means that the work cyber teams do can have a short shelf life, as does the ability to properly prepare defenders.

What cybersecurity teams really need is the ability to test individual tactics in their organization's live environment, without the overhead of a full red team exercise.

At its basic level, if the blue team wins, they can be confident when it comes to a cybersecurity threat.

Cyber teams play a constant cat and mouse game to keep up with the evolving threat landscape.
