Technology Seminar Series - Offense for Defense

"Offense for Defense”, presented by Red Siege Information Security, is a specialized course tailored for information security blue teamers, or defenders, aiming to fortify their skills in offensive security strategies.

Throughout this program, participants will delve into the fundamentals of offensive security, gaining insight into the tactics, techniques, and procedures employed by adversaries. By understanding the attacker’s mindset and methodologies, defenders will be better equipped to anticipate and defend against common cyber threats effectively. Through practical exercises and real-world scenarios, participants will learn to proactively identify vulnerabilities, assess risks, and implement robust defensive measures to safeguard against potential attacks. Join us as we empower defenders with the knowledge and tools needed to strengthen their cybersecurity posture and protect critical assets from evolving threats.

Key Takeaways:

Strategic Mindset Shift – Participants will learn to think like attackers to strengthen their defensive strategies. This includes understanding the psychology behind attacks, the tactics employed by adversaries, and how these insights can be used to anticipate and mitigate potential security threats effectively.

Practical Defense Skills – Through hands-on workshops, participants will gain practical skills in identifying vulnerabilities, implementing defensive speedbumps, securing service accounts, and managing Active Directory and AD Certificate Services. These skills are essential for proactively protecting against and responding to cyber threats.

Adaptive Defense Mechanisms – Learners will be equipped with the knowledge to use advanced tools and techniques, such as Atomic Red Team and the MITRE ATT&CK framework, for simulating attacks and testing defenses. This prepares participants to adapt their security measures to evolving threats and ensure their organizations’ resilience against cyber attacks.
