Episode Details

Ever heard someone say, "the attacker only has to be right once, but the defender has to get it right every time"? On this episode, we'll dispel that myth. There is some truth to the saying, but only with regards to initial access to the target's environment. Once on the inside, the attacker's advantage flips to the defender. Call it the 'Home Alone' effect. Or the Goonies effect? Die Hard? So many movie metaphors work here!

The conversation isn't just about setting traps for attackers, however, there's also a conversation to have about fundamentals and ensuring practitioners are prepared for whatever attackers might throw at them. This segment is inspired by the essay from Lenny by the same name: Transform the Defender’s Dilemma into the Defender’s Advantage
