SpecterOps, a leading player in the cybersecurity solutions space, has just unveiled its latest offering: the Purple Team Assessment Services. In a bid to evaluate an organization's security controls' prowess in detecting and thwarting common attack techniques, this two-week assessment is a game-changer. What sets it apart is SpecterOps' proprietary approach to classify the myriad variations of attack techniques while delving deep into the intricate world of adversary tactics.
These Purple Team Assessment Services by SpecterOps promise actionable insights that can drive immediate enhancements to security controls. They also serve as an educational tool for security operations staff, providing them with valuable insights into adversary tradecraft. Moreover, the service designs roadmaps for customers to augment detection coverage, understand the return on investment (ROI) of security initiatives, and gain a more precise grasp of their cyber risk tolerance.
Jared Atkinson, Chief Strategist at SpecterOps, highlighted the pivotal role that Purple Team Assessments play in addressing fundamental security questions that often evade traditional red team assessments and penetration testing. SpecterOps aims to replace vague vendor promises and educated guesses with concrete real-world data and testing.
SpecterOps' unique approach tackles the challenge of attackers constantly tweaking their techniques to evade detection. With potentially countless variations of a single attack method, testing them all is impractical. SpecterOps has ingeniously developed a system for categorizing these attack technique variants, allowing them to create a diverse and representative set of test cases for each technique. This approach facilitates in-depth testing and better mimics real-world scenarios, providing a more accurate measurement of defense effectiveness.
Customers of SpecterOps' Purple Team Assessments receive both tactical and strategic recommendations for short-term and long-term security enhancements. They are equipped with comprehensive technical details to independently validate the test cases and findings, along with summary reports tailored for executives and senior management. The engagement is designed to be educational, enabling the customer's IT staff to gain deeper insights into adversary tradecraft.
Drawing from their extensive experience in adversary simulation and detection across various sectors, including government, defense, finance, and healthcare, SpecterOps has crafted these Purple Team Assessments. Their track record includes substantial contributions to the security community, open-source security tools, and adversary-focused training courses. ###
