Secure More. Spend Less. Stay Ahead.

In today’s threat landscape, you can’t afford to play defense. At the same time, you’re under pressure to deliver more value under tightening budgets. ECS, a National Cyber Summit Diamond Sponsor, delivers proactive, AI-infused cybersecurity solutions that help federal leaders do more with less, reducing costs while hardening defenses and accelerating response. Want to learn more? We’d love to meet up with you in Huntsville and talk about what we call “connected intelligence.”

Connected intelligence emphasizes interoperability, automation, and intelligent orchestration, so your team can move faster, detect earlier, and act decisively.​ At this very moment, we’re using connected intelligence to protect the U.S. Army’s 750,000 endpoints from more than 1.5 million malicious events per month.

We’re a leading provider of AI/ML to the Department of Defense, and our cyber solutions protect large, complex, sensitive networks for the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and more.

Let’s meet up at National Cyber Summit to explore how you too could build a seamlessly connected and intelligent defense system.

Purple Teaming: A Force-multiplier Approach to Cybersecurity

Attend Our Session: “Purple Team: Coordinating Cyber Special Forces to Win Battles”

Thursday, September 25
1:15 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Ballroom 2

Diallo Glover
Cybersecurity Ops Analyst Senior-Incident Response, ECS Justice & Homeland Solutions

Brian Richardson
Senior Security Engineer, ECS Justice & Homeland Solutions

Reed Wally
Red Team Operator, ECS Justice & Homeland Solutions

Cybersecurity isn’t just a battle, it’s a war fought on a constantly shifting battlefield.

Join ECS cyber experts at our breakout session as we discuss the “Purple Team” concept: a cybersecurity unit that blends Red Team offense, Blue Team defense, and intelligence to achieve mission success. Like military special forces, Purple Teams rely on deep knowledge of their “cyber terrain,” including the security stack, defender capabilities, and potential attack vectors, to anticipate and counter threats.

Our speakers will explore how combining these disciplines enables realistic threat simulation, strong countermeasures, and precise detection. They will share examples and lessons on how trust, cohesion, and interdependence make Purple Teams highly effective at detecting, responding to, and preventing advanced attacks.
