Talk Description:

MITRE ATT&CK™ is a globally-accessible knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations. It has taken the infosec world by storm, as now vendors are referencing how their products leverage the framework. MITRE's CALDERA offers an intelligent, automated adversary emulation system that can reduce resources needed by security teams for routine testing, freeing them to address other critical problems. Michael will explain the benefits of CALDERA and how his organization plans to leverage it to test their security controls.
