Caldera is a cybersecurity framework developed by MITRE that empowers cyber practitioners to save time, money, and energy through automated security assessments.
- Automated Adversary Emulation: Instead of manual testing, Caldera uses agents to execute pre-built or custom tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) on systems.
- Based on MITRE ATT&CK: Emulates real-world threat actors by utilizing the ATT&CK knowledge base to map techniques like lateral movement, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration.
- Command-and-Control (C2) Structure: Uses a C2 server with a web interface to manage agents and run campaigns. Usage Automated Red Teaming: Simulating adversary profiles to identify security gaps across an organization’s infrastructure.
- Endpoint Detection (EDR) Testing: Testing if security monitoring systems (e.g., Splunk) correctly detect malicious behavior.
- Incident Response Training: Using automated attacks to train blue teams on how to detect and respond to threats.
- Purple Teaming: Facilitating collaboration between offensive (red) and defensive (blue) teams. #tools MITRE #frameworks #vulnerabilitytesting #simulation
