Q . WITH YOUR BACKGROUND IN INCIDENT RESPONSE , HOW DO YOU SEE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REACTIVE AND PROACTIVE SECURITY MEASURES EVOLVING ?
» The combination of offensive and defensive security measures is vital . It allows security teams to approach tasks differently , find hidden details , and quickly identify signs of a breach .
For example , when I was a forensic investigator , the biggest challenge for me was trying to find evidence of a cyber breach . However , my background in offensive security meant I understood how to break into systems , making it slightly easier to find evidence of a breach .
The relationship between reactive and proactive security measures will only get stronger in the future . We ’ ll see these measures combined with the telemetry data organisations gather , enabling security teams to better understand the techniques used by criminals and how they are applied .
