Confessions of a Blue Teamer: How Unseen Work Pays off in a Crisis

In the fast-paced world of cybersecurity, the spotlight often shines on the dramatic breach or the sophisticated attack. But you know the truth: true resilience isn't about the heroics during a crisis, but the countless hours of unsung, diligent work that happens long before an incident ever escalates. This webinar offers an inside look at the often-overlooked, critical efforts of defensive cybersecurity professionals.

Join seasoned Blue Teamers Kev Breen and Kevin Marriott from the Immersive Container 7 research team, plus Natalie George from BT Group,  as they pull back the curtain on the quiet dedication and meticulous processes that underpin a truly robust defense based on real-world experiences. This session will highlight the daily real work that builds an unshakeable security posture.

You’ll gain valuable insights into:

• The Unseen Foundations of Incident Response: Understand how the continuous, often repetitive, work of tuning, hardening, and practicing directly translates into a calm, effective, and decisive response when a real-world crisis unfolds.

• Transforming "Boring" into Bulletproof: Discover how the disciplined execution of seemingly mundane tasks – like log analysis, alert triage, and play runbooks – is the true differentiator between a team that panics and one that performs under pressure.

• Cultivating a Culture of Proactive Defense: Learn actionable strategies for embedding the "unseen work" mentality within your SOC, fostering a team that embraces continuous improvement, hones their skills through constant practice, and thrives on the quiet satisfaction of preventing crises before they start.

This is your opportunity to hear hot takes on blue team efforts to build the bedrock of an organization's cyber resilience. Don't let your team be defined by what goes wrong; empower them with the foresight, training, and robust cyber readiness. Being truly ready isn't a stroke of luck. It's the direct result of the work no one sees.
