Kev Posted May 25, 2020 Report Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Speaker: Jorge Orchilles Abstract: Adversary Emulation is a type of Red Team Exercise where the Red Team emulates how an adversary operates, following the same tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), with a specific objective (similar to those of realistic threats or adversaries). Adversary emulations are performed using a structured approach, which can be based on a kill chain or attack flow. Methodologies and Frameworks for Adversary Emulations will be covered shortly. Adversary emulation Red Team Exercises emulate an end-to-end attack against a target organization to obtain a holistic view of the organization’s preparedness for a real, sophisticated attack. This will be the main focus of SANS SEC564 Red Team Exercises and Adversary Emulation. Command and Control is one of the most important tactics in the MITRE ATT&CK matrix as it allows the attacker to interact with the target system and realize their objectives. Organizations leverage Cyber Threat Intelligence to understand their threat model and adversaries that have the intent, opportunity, and capability to attack. Red Team, Blue Team, and virtual Purple Teams work together to understand the adversary Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures to perform adversary emulations and improve detective and preventive controls. The C2 Matrix was created to aggregate all the Command and Control frameworks publicly available (open-source and commercial) in a single resource to assist teams in testing their own controls through adversary emulations (Red Team or Purple Team Exercises). Phase 1 lists all the Command and Control features such as the coding language used, channels (HTTP, TCP, DNS, SMB, etc.), agents, key exchange, and other operational security features and capabilities. This allows more efficient decisions making when called upon to emulate and adversary TTPs. It is the golden age of Command and Control (C2) frameworks. Learn how these C2 frameworks work and start testing against your organization to improve detective and preventive controls. Learn how Red Teams and Blue Teams work together in virtual Purple Teams -Leverage Cyber Threat Intelligence to understand adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures Perform adversary emulations in Red or Purple Team Exercises Choose which command and control to use for the assessment to provide the most value -Measure and improve people, process, and technology Source Edited May 25, 2020 by Kev 1 Quote
