Testing Your Cybersecurity Defenses
Source: YouTube · John Hammond · published Nov 14, 2023 · 20:47
The video introduces Prelude Detect, a cybersecurity tool that validates whether your security defenses actually protect against current threats by using CISA advisories to run continuous tests across your environment 1:44.
Key Takeaways:
• CISA provides valuable advisories about threats and maintains a Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog of CVEs actively being exploited 0:00
• Prelude uses lightweight "probes" (about 60 lines of code) rather than traditional agents to test endpoints with minimal resource impact 3:56
• The tool integrates with major EDR platforms including CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, and SentinelOne 2:08
• Tests are "defanged" meaning they check if security controls would block real threats without actually harming systems 12:05
• Prelude's autopilot mode automatically runs new tests as threats emerge, providing continuous validation of security protections 10:15
Prelude's transparent approach includes making all source code available on GitHub, allowing organizations to customize tests and verify security postures with confidence 16:27.

do you know about the cyber security and infrastructure Security Agency and their advisories and alerts that they put out all the time maybe you've heard of siza or cisa that cyber security infrastructure Security Agency but seriously these advisories and alerts are awesome they put out some really cool info and it's all information and details about current attacks threats hacks across the cyber security landscape ransomware vulnerabilities and exploits they dive into a lot of the nitty gritty even getting into some of the miter attack Frameworks so you can map this to specific tactics techniques and procedures or ttps and look for indicators of compromise ioc's along with that they even track a lot of these threats and add them to their known exploited vulnerabilities catalog and if you …
