What Your Controls Aren’t Telling You: Gaps, Drift and New Threats

Security operations (SecOps) is a game of continuous improvement. Threat actors and attacks constantly evolve, so blue teams must also continually enhance their processes, skills, and controls to meet the challenge.  

Many SecOps teams have adopted a proactive approach to stay ahead of today’s threat landscape with security control validation. Production safe simulations offer a realistic environment that closely mirrors production systems, replicating actual working conditions so that SecOps teams can develop more effective strategies and responses. 

Join industry leaders as they discuss this shift in SecOps strategy and highlight how automated security validation can take your SecOps team to the next level.  

Panelists include:

Secure your spot today to learn how to evolve your offensive security practices!

It’s 2024 – why do you still rely on manual pen testing to validate your security posture? It’s labor-intensive, doesn’t reveal real-time vulnerabilities at scale, and typically happens only once or twice a year. This lack of automation combined with infrequent testing windows makes it impossible to have a clear and up-to-date understanding of the high-risk attack paths, vulnerabilities and misconfigurations happening inside your IT environment right now.  

There’s got to be a better way. And there is. But first, it’s time to stop waiting for Red Teams to take the first step when it comes to validating an organization’s security posture. Blue Teams can take matters into their own hands. By using their own managed security controls, they can do things like create rules in their EDR and WAF to block exploitation attempts from a known vulnerability. 

In this session, we’ll talk about the benefits and practical application of automatic, continuous security control testing. And how shifting the power dynamic between Blue and Red Teams can lead to a more optimized approach to security. One that can be automatically built into an existing environment and yield results such as automated testing, continuous validation and coverage at scale.  

Finally, we will show real-world examples of threats vs. actual attack paths, vulnerabilities vs. controls, and practical steps to remediation.

Hey, Blue Teams: Stop Waiting for Pen Tests to Find Gaps. It’s Time to Take Control of Your Offensive Testing.

Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for deploying applications in the cloud as organizations run business-critical applications on Kubernetes K8 clusters hosted by leading cloud services providers Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, and the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). 

In this research update, the Cymulate Threat Research Group decided to put the native security tools of each provider to the test against the types of attack techniques being used by threat actors to exploit K8 clusters. The native cloud security tools included: 
* Azure Cloud Defender  
* AWS GuardDuty  
* GCP Command Center 

The results of these security validation tests against the above native cloud security tools raise some concerns that your K8 cluster could get KO’d by a threat actor, which we believe is NOT OK.

As business pressures increase, CISOs face an alarming disconnect from executive teams. WSJ recently published research highlighting that communication is at the root of the problem: 58% struggle to make the technical understandable to senior leadership, and 82% feel the need to sugarcoat their security reports in front of the board.  

Cybersecurity has moved to the board room requiring CISOs to communicate with executive teams and answer the questions: 1) How secure are we? 2) Are we exposed? and 3) How bad is it? 

Join top cybersecurity leaders as they discuss how security and exposure validation provides the proof and evidence to measure and baseline cyber resilience so CISOs can report on their company’s cyber risk in quantifiable terms and confidently advocate for continued investments and improvements. 

Panelists include: 
* Dan Baylis, CISO, LV= 
* Phillip Heyns, Global Cybersecurity Architecture & Engineering Manager

Register now for an informal discussion that covers:  
* How the role of CISO is changing in an ever-expanding, higher-stakes attack landscape

Just as application development requires quality assurance and regression testing to deliver usability and function without defects, cybersecurity demands its own quality program to maintain strong defenses. Threats evolve, and your attack surface sees continuous change, so security teams face a constant challenge to identify weaknesses, prevent drift, and strengthen overall resilience. 

Join this webinar to learn how exposure management evolves security operations with continuous security and exposure validation that: 
- Test controls and response capabilities 
- Correlates vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and gaps with active threats and mitigating controls 
- Benchmarks cyber resilience and strengthens your overall security posture.

Security Validation: Your Security Program Needs QA & Regression Testing

Security leaders recognize that the pattern of buying new tech and the frantic state of find-fix vulnerability management is not working. Rather than waiting for the next big cyberattack and hoping they have the right defenses in place, security leaders are now more than ever implementing a proactive approach to cybersecurity by taking action to identify and address security gaps before attackers find and exploit them. 

Cymulate presents its 2024 State of Exposure Management & Security Validation report with key insights gathered from more than 500 customers in the practice of exposure validation correlating vulnerabilities, threats and controls.
