Understanding the Challenge
In today's evolving cyber landscape, organizations face numerous challenges when it comes to protecting their assets from cyber threats. One common issue is the presence of misconfigured security tools. Many organizations rely on a complex suite of security measures, but the effectiveness of these tools in preventing modern-day attacks remains uncertain. Additionally, weak detection and response policies can leave organizations vulnerable to sophisticated attacks, as they may lack the necessary procedures to handle such incidents. Moreover, the absence of regular training for security teams to detect malicious activities within their environments further compounds the vulnerability of organizations to cyber threats.
Benefits of a Red Team / Blue Team Exercise
The CrowdStrike Red Team / Blue Team Exercise offers a unique opportunity for organizations to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses. By participating in this exercise, organizations can identify misconfigured tools and coverage gaps in their existing security products. They can also gain valuable insights into detecting targeted attacks by understanding the tactics employed by real-world threat actors. Moreover, the exercise helps in maturing the threat hunting knowledge of security teams and enhancing overall incident response processes in a simulated training environment.
What CrowdStrike Delivers
CrowdStrike's Red Team / Blue Team Exercise follows the kill chain path of a targeted attack, encompassing various stages from reconnaissance to after-action review. Upon completion of the exercise, CrowdStrike provides actionable guidance to organizations. This includes a summary of vulnerabilities exploited during the simulation, the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used, observations from incident responders, and recommendations for process, methodology, and technology improvements. By leveraging CrowdStrike's expertise, organizations can gain valuable insights into their security posture and enhance their resilience against cyber threats.
Why CrowdStrike?
CrowdStrike's Red Teams bring extensive penetration testing experience to the table, allowing organizations to experience real-world targeted attack scenarios. By mirroring the steps of the cyber kill chain, CrowdStrike helps organizations understand the tactics employed by adversaries and enhance their threat detection capabilities. Additionally, CrowdStrike's Blue Teams provide tailored threat intelligence to help organizations defend against targeted attacks specific to their vertical. This comprehensive approach equips organizations with the knowledge and tools needed to stay ahead of cyber threats.
