Topic: How Defending the Digital Perimeter with Effective Blue Teaming Tactics
Abstract:In the current threat landscape, where cyber threats are evolving rapidly, proactive network security is desperately needed to prevent and reduce the impact of cyber incidents. Blue teaming and cyber defense incorporate how organizations identify, detect, prevent, and mitigate cyber threats and vulnerabilities. While traditional approaches to security operations have been reactive to threats, the ever-changing nature of the threat landscape requires that organizations shift to more proactive methods. This webinar series is dedicated to understanding proactive cyber defense strategies and how to build an effective blue team program. In today’s session, we will understand the fundamental elements of a cyber defense program, learn the difference between detective and preventative controls and how they function together, learn how Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) can guide program objectives, and learn how to gain critical buy-in and support from senior leadership when establishing a security program.
Key takeaways:
- Fundamental Components of a Cyber Defense Program
- People, Process, and Technology – Program Pillars
- Understanding Security Controls
- Determining when to use Detective vs Preventative Controls
- Using Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) Requirements to Scope the Security Program
- How to Gain Executive Buy-In and Support
