It’s no secret that organisations are up against skilled, relentless and determined adversaries. Security operations teams need to continuously test their detection capabilities by carrying out adversary emulation plans that are made up of varying tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) and track key metrics of their coverage in order to close any existing gaps. There are many tools available for running adversary emulation plans and performing purple team exercises.

Devo recently published a new research report Beyond Cloud Adoption: How to Embrace the Cloud for Security and Business Benefits, based on a survey conducted by Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG).
