Jan 07, 2021 | Josh Spranger, Senior Network & Project Engineer

But as a result it makes end users life difficult, especially with the advent of multi factor methods of authentication. Sometimes, this can make your users frustrated with having to use several different forms of authentication or having to enter their passwords multiple times for each application.

We can explore a number of these topics going forward, but I am going to specifically focus on Purple Team exercises in this blog, laying out key definitions, the purpose behind this style of exercise, key stakeholders you will want to involve, and what outcomes you should expect.

TRUE has been providing managed vulnerability scanning services for clients for years, scanning external and internal network environments for the latest exploits, supplying reports, and remaining just a phone call away for remediation guidance, report interpretation, and discussing what keeps our clients up at night.

Solving the Vulnerability Problem

Despite years of government issued alerts, subject matter expert directives, and even repeated lamenting of cybersecurity podcasters, unpatched vulnerabilities are still a leading cause for breaches.

The more stuff you stream, the more devices that get deployed, the larger the attack surface, the better the chances of finding a way in – it only makes sense.

These include 1) that every user has an “endpoint device” or two that they depend on for getting their work done, 2) that endpoint remains the primary target of most attacks, and 3) we’ve become extremely good at protecting those endpoints.
