Vectra AI outlines its commitment to empowering defenders through accessible security testing and highlights three community projects: MAAD-AF, an open-source framework for emulating attacker TTPs in Microsoft 365/Azure AD; ./HAVOC, an adversary emulation-as-code platform with containerized infrastructure and C2 traffic obfuscation; and The DeRF, an “Attacks-as-a-Service” framework for replaying offensive techniques to generate repeatable detection samples and validate controls—aimed at making cloud and enterprise security testing faster, simpler, and more effective.
