Synopsis

Ahoy there, fellow cyber warriors! Ever felt like security reports are a bit like those optical illusions – a sea of amber, leaving you wondering where the real threats lie?

In this session, we're ditching the ambiguity and diving deep into the vibrant world of Purple Teaming, a strategic collaboration approach. Think of it as a clash of the titans, where Red Teamers (attackers) and Blue Teamers (defenders) join forces to create a harmonious cyber security dream team, enabling a more comprehensive and actionable defence strategy.

We'll explore:

The Real Deal with Red and Blue: Unmasking the roles of Red and Blue teams, exploring how intelligence-led Red teams emulate real-world adversaries, simulating sophisticated attack techniques, while Blue teams focus on defending and mitigating these threats. Both are essential in today's threat landscape.

Purple Reign: Why Purple Teaming is the secret sauce to a robust security posture, creating a proactive, intelligence-driven security approach, turning those amber alerts into actionable insights.

Boardroom Blues: Tired of confusing your board with technical jargon? We'll share simple, powerful ways to communicate cyber risk and demonstrate the value of Purple Teaming with business-focused messaging to articulate cyber risk and demonstrate the return on investment (ROI) of your cyber defences. We'll tackle how to answer those tricky questions like "How are we moving the needle?" and "Are we operating within our risk appetite?".

Beyond the Amber Sea: How Red Teaming exercises can provide a clearer picture of your security effectiveness than a stack of amber-laden reports.

Join us for a lively discussion and leave with practical strategies to strengthen your cyber defences and communicate risk effectively. Through real-time simulations and exercises, Purple Teaming offers a clearer, more actionable picture of your organisations security posture, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement. It's time to paint the town purple!
