The Five Essential Elements of Impactful Red vs. Blue Exercises

Experience is vital when preparing to battle cybersecurity threats, but is it possible to gain experience and avoid the pain that usually comes with it? In a word, yes. Red vs. Blue events (RvBs) enable cybersecurity individuals and teams to practice responding to actual attacks in a safe and isolated simulated network. These events provide highly impactful learning experiences where SOC leads and team members can apply their cybersecurity skills, enhance trust and collaboration between teams, while testing and refining incident response processes. With RvB training, organizations can improve their defenses without the pain of actual data loss or downtime.

On January 26, 2022, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) signaled its alignment with the EO by releasing plans to implement a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). With nearly every industry being business-adjacent to the federal workspace, many executives find themselves Googling “Zero Trust” and its related buzzwords.
