0x01 // SUMMARY
I have spent 9 years on the defensive side, the last 4 leading a blue team of 7 analysts. My main result to date: mean time to detect went from 14 hours to 40 minutes across two SOC rebuilds. I have run 60 tabletop exercises, and I still think the whiteboard is the most underrated detection tool we own.
