Blue team analysts are specialists with a wide range of complex goals. Their role is to monitor for threats, quickly determine whether an incident is genuine, and enrich processes with TI. They do so with lightning efficiency thanks to their knowledge of the fundamentals of the incident response and remediation processes, including threat hunting, network forensics, and malware detonation. Such a comprehensive knowledge base is invaluable when handling emergencies.
Blue teams also possess an in-depth knowledge of the threat landscape, which they monitor and where they collect valuable information and indicators of compromise. By keeping up to date with the latest trends, the specialists help companies handle passive and active threats quicker and more effectively.
