The goal is to assess our capabilities in preventing, detecting, and responding to cyber-attacks targeting the Executive Branch of the State of South Dakota.This assessment will enable BIT to engage in real-time attacks and utilize incident response playbooks, providing analysts with practical experience and identifying areas for improvement in the state's cybersecurity posture. Benefits include: • Evaluating the effectiveness of the State of South Dakota’s security posture. • Enhancing BIT’s security readiness. • Assessing the performance of security defenses. • Improving defender training. • Gaining objective insights into high-risk areas within the State of South Dakota’s environment (both external and internal). BIT is seeking separate proposals and associated costs for both a red team exercise and a purple team exercise. Offerors may be selected for one or both exercises, and different offerors may be chosen for each exercise.
