Train your security teams on ever-evolving adversary tactics and techniques

Read Team

Attack is the Best Form of Defense

Red Teams act as adversaries with specific objectives, often tasked with compromising an organization’s security to gain access to a target system or sensitive data. The insights from a Red Team exercise are invaluable for reviewing existing security policies, validating strengths, identifying areas for improvement, and guiding necessary shifts in focus.

Our Red-Team engagements serve as a litmus test for your existing security posture.

Red Team
Exercises

While Penetration Testing focuses on finding and documenting as many security gaps as possible, a Red Team engagement simulates a real-world, real-time attack. Depending on the exercise's scope, Red Teams can use various attack vectors such as crafting targeted malware, employing social engineering techniques, and compromising physical security measures. Unlike typical penetration tests, which are often conducted in a controlled environment, Red Team exercises are fluid and stealthy, providing a comprehensive view of the organization’s overall security posture.

Phishing
Simulation

Email remains a primary vector for cyberattacks, with many successful breaches starting with phishing emails. To educate employees, many organizations conduct security awareness training. However, a dedicated phishing simulation service can be more effective. Our experts use their deep expertise to create and deploy advanced phishing attacks as part of Red Team engagements. Metrics are continuously collected and analysed, with detailed reporting on the results.

Our Methodology

Red Teaming can be conducted periodically or as needed to ensure that an organization's security measures remain effective and current. The steps involved can vary but generally include the following:

Planning and Preparation

Planning and Preparation

Define the scope and objectives of the exercise, identify team members and their roles, gather relevant information, and ensure necessary resources are in place. Reconnaissance forms an integral part of this phase.

Threat Modelling

Threat Modelling

Analyse potential adversaries and their motives and methods. This helps ensure that the exercise closely mirrors real-world threats, making the results and learnings impactful.

Scenario Planning

Scenario Planning

Plan activities such as exploiting vulnerabilities, deploying malware, or using social engineering techniques. Set up the necessary infrastructure, craft malware, or create targeted phishing emails as needed.

Execution

Execution

Run the simulations for the predefined duration, capturing important information for later analysis. The execution mimics real-world threat actors while staying within agreed parameters. Special attention is given to evading existing defenses and noting their performance.

Analysis and Reporting

Analysis and Reporting

Analyse the results and present them in an accessible report, highlighting key findings and categorizing priority items. The report includes recommendations and best practices, helping organizations incorporate lessons learned into their ongoing security strategies.
