Smarter Security – How Purple Teaming with the MITRE ATT&CK Framework Boosts Incident Response

This session of ThreatConnect’s Smarter Security Series explores the intricate dance between offense and defense in digital security. In “Picky Purple Teamers Pick MITRE ATT&CK,” a talk Matt Scheurer gave at Black Hat 2023, Matt delves into the critical importance of purple teaming, a strategic approach that identifies threats before they materialize. This episode provides a deep dive into the blend of digital forensics, incident response, and offensive security tactics essential for modern-day cybersecurity. We will also discuss the MITRE ATT&CK and DEFEND frameworks, highlighting their roles in shaping robust defense mechanisms against sophisticated cyber threats. Furthermore, we will trace the evolution of cybersecurity practices from telephony exploits of the past to contemporary attack vectors. Stay ahead of the curve by understanding how to think like attackers, the need for proactive threat hunting, and the transformative growth of security operations centers (SOCs).
