From Low-Value Identity to High-Value Impact: A Realistic Attack Chain 150 150 Andrew Heller
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. read more

How Adversaries Actually Test Enterprise Environments
How Adversaries Actually Test Enterprise Environments 150 150 Andrew Heller

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…

TTX and TTP Replay: The Win-Win Combo We Undervalue
TTX and TTP Replay: The Win-Win Combo We Undervalue 1200 630 Andrew Heller
Most organizations run tabletop exercises and detection tests in isolation, creating blind spots that only show up during real incidents. Pairing a tabletop exercise with a TTP replay exposes the cracks in people and process, then verifies the fixes in controls and telemetry. This combined approach delivers the evidence needed to build a defensible, data-backed security posture. read more

From Compliance to Combat: Why Financial Services Still Bleed
From Compliance to Combat: Why Financial Services Still Bleed 1200 630 Andrew Heller

Passing a penetration test doesn’t mean you’re secure. Most pentests follow strict rules and timelines that attackers ignore. Red Teaming simulates real-world adversaries to reveal how threats move, persist, and evade detection. Purple Teaming turns these insights into immediate defensive improvements. Shift from compliance to true readiness with realistic attack simulation, live defender collaboration, and measurable results. read more

This post breaks down the real roles behind each function, how Lares helped build the model into what it is today, and how to apply it even if you don’t have formal teams. Whether you’re running full adversarial simulations or just starting structured testing, this is what effective security collaboration actually looks like. read more
