TRANSFORMING THE DEFENDER’S DILEMMA INTO THE DEFENDER’S ADVANTAGE – LENNY
ZELTSER – ESW #381

October 24, 2024


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
