John Strand
Black Hills Information Security
You don’t need to have tens or hundreds of analysts, a blue team, a red team, or cyber-intelligence experts to implement a purple team. You just need great security people interested in researching and understanding attacks. To start, you just need one TTP and a tool capable of receiving logs and generating alerts.
Camilo Ruiz
Dupaco Community Credit Union
SCYTHE is a technology every enterprise red team should have so they can prepare the blue team for engagements with cutting-edge offensive teams. The average dwell time of undetected compromises is currently measured in months and SCYTHE enables the red team to give the blue team something realistic to hunt.
