Cloud Attack Emulation: Leveraging the Attacker’s Advantage for Effective Defense

A few months ago, I had the opportunity to talk about Cloud Attack Emulation at the InfoQ Dev Summit in Munich.

Here is an automatically generated podcast where some super exciting concepts I presented are discussed. Listen to it on SoundCloud

⚡ Talk Abstract:

Cloud attack emulation is a novel approach for continuously validating security posture by proactively testing enterprise security strategies’ i.e. people, processes, and technology.

This talk provides deep insights into the effective adoption of cloud attack emulation and how the approach enables threat-informed defense. With cloud security mechanisms increasingly overwhelmed by the fast-evolving cyberattacks, organizations must adopt practical cyber resilience to move from preventing attacks to quick detection, response, and recovery.

Cloud attack emulation allows for a holistic approach to overcome the fundamental causes of successful cyberattacks and exposes security blind spots. Cloud security operations teams significantly benefit from reducing alert fatigue by adopting attack emulation, which allows them to sift signals from noise while enhancing their technical skills and operational processes.
