The Visibility Gap: 5 Purple Team Tests Your EDR is Probably Missing 2464 1856 Andrew Heller

The Visibility Gap: 5 Purple Team Tests Your EDR is Probably Missing

In modern cybersecurity, there is a dangerous assumption that “more telemetry equals more security.” Most leaders feel confident because they have agents on every endpoint and a SIEM ingesting millions of events. However, having a tool is not the same as having a detection. At Lares, we have provided adversarial coaching and testing since 2008.…

What Attackers Target First in Most Environments 150 150 Andrew Heller

What Attackers Target First in Most Environments

Attackers do not breach environments by guessing where the most sensitive systems are. They begin with the simplest, most reliable footholds. Across industries, across cloud providers, across company sizes, three initial weaknesses appear in nearly every intrusion Lares analyzes. This blog outlines what attackers target first and how those footholds become full compromises. 1. Identity…

What Leadership Needs to See: Turning Adversary Testing Into Evidence 150 150 Andrew Heller

What Leadership Needs to See: Turning Adversary Testing Into Evidence

Executives and boards do not make decisions based on technical output. They make decisions based on clear evidence, risk narratives, and business impact. One of the most overlooked strengths of adversary testing is its ability to generate this kind of clarity. This blog explains what leadership actually needs to see and how adversary simulation provides…

Audit Success vs Operational Resilience: Understanding the Gap 150 150 Andrew Heller

Audit Success vs Operational Resilience: Understanding the Gap

Compliance is a necessary part of enterprise security. It provides structure, accountability, and a baseline for control maturity. But compliance is not security. Passing an audit confirms that controls exist. It does not confirm they work under real-world attack conditions. CISOs understand this. Boards are beginning to. Attackers always have. This blog explains where compliance…

Purple Teaming: The Fastest Way to Improve Detection and Response

Many organizations assume their detections will activate during a real intrusion. Yet when Lares runs adversary simulations, we routinely observe well-managed environments failing to detect privilege escalation, cloud role misuse, or lateral identity movement. The gap is not due to weak teams. It is due to the difference between what tools claim to detect and…

From Low-Value Identity to High-Value Impact: A Realistic Attack Chain

A simple identity compromise can escalate into full cloud or data access. See a realistic attack chain and what it means for enterprise security teams.

How Adversaries Actually Test Enterprise Environments 150 150 Andrew Heller

How Adversaries Actually Test Enterprise Environments

Most security programs are built around assessments that operate by scope. Pentests, compliance audits, and tool-driven reviews all share this constraint. They evaluate environments based on what is allowed, not based on how real attackers behave. Adversaries do not work inside scopes. They test environments the way engineers test systems. They explore, chain, pivot, escalate,…
