Description

1. Automated Security Validation

Automated security validation involves continuously testing security controls and defenses using automated tools and techniques. It ensures that security measures are functioning as expected by simulating real-world attack scenarios. Key benefits include:

• Continuous assessment of security posture
• Identification of misconfigurations and vulnerabilities
• Automated reporting and compliance checks

2. Threat-Informed Defense

Threat-informed defense leverages threat intelligence and knowledge of adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to enhance security strategies. It typically involves frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK to:

• Understand potential threats and attack methods
• Prioritize defenses against the most relevant risks
• Improve incident response capabilities

3. SIEM and SOC Validation

SIEM and SOC validation involves testing and validating the effectiveness of your security monitoring and incident response processes. This can include:

• Ensuring SIEM tools are properly ingesting and correlating security data
• Validating alerting mechanisms and incident workflows
• Simulating attack scenarios to test SOC readiness
