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