As the title implies, defense or “Blue Teaming” will be the focus of our talks. While the news often talks about X being hacked or Y having a data breach, the defense perspective often goes unnoticed to the scope of media as the main meat of the story goes to the actual attack.
A blue team is a defensive organizational unit that focuses on maintaining and verifying security controls, as well as investigating security events. Next week, we will dive into the deep-blue where our host Matthew Siuda will go over the challenges, misconceptions, and benefits of being a blue teamer.
Matthew Siuda (@suedeSecurity) is a Security Analyst at Teranet. Teranet is a 25+ year old data organization that manages the Electronic-Land-Registration-System (ELRS) for the Government of Ontario. Drawing from his experiences, he will walk you through his daily life as a blue teamer where he comes face to face with corporate politics and emerging technologies in a rapidly evolving industry.
I hope to see you all there next week!
