What is Blue Teaming?

Blue teaming refers to a strategic exercise in the military where two rival teams simulate an attack: the red team attacks and the blue team defends. In the world of information security, this means that the red team looks for flaws in your cybersecurity, and the blue team fixes them. Our role in blue teaming consultancy is to advise and support you in this process. We specialize in two specific forms of blue teaming consultancy: threat hunting and fortification.

What we do

Every company, at a certain size, has its own blue team, although the employees may not call themselves that. People are appointed to monitor systems, log incidents, reconcile transactions, etc. Our task is to advise and assist you in this. We specialize in two specific forms of blue teaming consultancy: threat hunting and fortification.

1. Threat hunting

Threat hunting involves actively searching for circulating threats and testing whether your system is resilient against them. For example, if you read in the news about a new type of virus, you may contact us to ask how you can avoid the attack affecting your business. We will then check if your current antivirus software can detect the virus. If it cannot, we will advise on how to improve your security measures to detect the virus if it appears.

2. Fortification : building walls

After a threat hunter has identified possible threats, we will improve your security in a targeted manner. We bundle our findings in a practical action plan. We ensure that everyone in your team understands and can work with the report. The management receives recommendations at a strategic level. The programmers get clear technical instructions. And we tell the monitoring team which red flags to look out for. Fortification is thus the process of strengthening security so that a real attacker cannot breach it.

When should you choose Blue Teaming?

• After a red teaming exercise, to address the vulnerabilities that were discovered.
• When there is suspicion of a threat due to an incident involving a competitor.
• When a company wants to implement stronger security measures with the help of experts.

How we work

Analysis

During an initial conversation, we ask targeted questions: what are the proverbial crown jewels? Which systems are critical to the survival of your business? We look at your situation with a strategic helicopter view.

Fortification

After the initial investigation, we identify the threats and risks that your organization may face and provide a report with findings and recommendations. Our recommendations will include actionable steps to prevent any potential security incidents from happening.

Coaching

We are available for follow-up and support. After implementing our recommendations, we can reassess your security if you wish.
