Topic: Continous validated security operations
Key Highlights:
[1] CISOs are now expected to go beyond policy and compliance. They must acquire deep technical knowledge, design effective incident response plans, implement those plans, and continuously validate them.
[2] The modern approach (Gen 5 of cybersecurity) assumes that breaches are inevitable. Organizations must adopt a proactive approach to detect and prevent threats before damage occurs.
[3] Red team capabilities should be made accessible across the organization. Simulating real adversary TTPs within your environment helps validate and strengthen your SOC (Security Operations Center).
[4] Use threat simulation tools not just for testing but also to create and validate new detection rules before actual attacks happen.
[5] Conduct incident response drills that are real in nature. This validates your team’s readiness and the effectiveness of your overall security posture.
