ABSTRACT
All Pills at once in 45 mins: From Penetration Test to Red Team to Blue Team
Bitdefender, and previously Horangi Cyber Security, has been conducting penetration tests and red team exercises since 2016. We broke into usual offices and data centers, but we also exploited EV chargers, robots, and 5G. Based on that experience, we will share what skills are required for penetration tests and how to upgrade to red team skills, and how companies can establish their security assessment programs.

We will also set up a short but dynamic, realistic, and fun demo with the exploitation of a server. Explain what a red team engagement may look like.

Excitedly, this talk also gives a remedy for protection. We will share about reducing the attack surface and how many system default tools in OS can be disabled to prevent most attacks.

There will also have an interactive demo to show a simple, short red team engagement.
