Shall We Play a Game?

Presented at BSidesSF 2019, March 4, 2019, 3:30 p.m. (30 minutes).

Muscle memory, incident responders will tell you, is crucial to acting quickly in a crisis. Cyber Threat Intelligence informs what we do, but practice ensures we do it well—executing effectively to eliminate the threat and protect the organization. This session provides an approach to developing security exercises and running practice drills. MITRE's Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge (ATT&CK) forms the basis of this approach. We will cover the fundamentals of an exercise: selecting the story, identifying the tactics, threat modeling, table top discussions, adversarial emulation, and scoring. The session concludes with advice on creating an overall exercise program, focusing on repetition, momentum, and building muscle. Turn intelligence into practiced action with security games.
