SPEAKER: Kevin Dunn / SVP of Technical Security Consulting - North America / NCC Group

PRESO TITLE: Red Team Approaches for Success

PRESO SUMMARY: There are many approaches to the form of penetration testing known as 'red teaming'. In this talk the speaker will unravel some terminology, talk about how to use red team approaches, and explore some of the common techniques that help to model adversary simulation in the realm of commercial security engagements. Topics will include how to tailor approaches to modern heterogeneous environments, examples of tradecraft efforts to prevent easy disclosure, and examination of how the threat model has to change to meet modern boundary-less or location-independent architecture approaches. The speaker will include real-world approaches for: external vulnerability discovery and exploitation, targeted spear phishing against a variety of platform types, controlled physical intrusions, internal network attacks and as much more as time allows!
