Professional Red Teaming
Professional Red Teaming is a real-world attack simulation service designed to help organizations understand and strengthen their security resilience. The service not only focuses on finding technical vulnerabilities but also tests the extent to which organizations are able to detect, respond to, and address threats that have the potential to disrupt operations, damage data, or impact reputation.
With a holistic approach, we evaluate security across all aspects—digital, physical, and human—to provide relevant and actionable insights. Our experienced team works with modern techniques that are constantly evolving, ensuring simulations that are realistic and appropriate to today's security challenges.
We believe that rock-solid security starts with a deep understanding of risk, and that's exactly what we offer: the opportunity to learn, improve, and walk away better prepared for the future.
Key Activities in Red Teaming
- Reconnaissance and Intelligence Gathering
- Initial Access
- Persistence and Privilege Escalation
- Lateral Movement
- Exfiltration and Impac
Gathering public and confidential information about the organization, including network structure, digital assets, employees, and vendors. Utilize OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) techniques, such as monitoring social media, searching for leaked data, and dark web exploration.
Sending emails designed to trick employees into gaining entry to internal systems (Spear Phishing), attacking web applications or services exposed to the internet, such as VPN portals, email, or custom applications (Exploitation of Public-Facing Assets) & Infiltrating through vendors or business partners connected to your systems (Supply Chain Attacks).
Embedding a backdoor or malware to maintain long-term access & exploiting vulnerabilities in operating systems or software to gain elevated privileges.
Browsing internal networks using protocols such as SMB, RDP, or WinRM to explore other systems & exploit administrator credentials or utilize internal communication protocols to expand the scope of the attack.
Stealing sensitive data, such as customer information, credentials, or strategic company assets & modify, delete, or encrypt data as part of a simulated ransomware attack.
Red Teaming vs. Penetration Testing
Red teaming is more in-depth than penetration testing. While pentesting evaluates specific vulnerabilities over a period of time, red teaming includes a holistic approach, focusing on:
- Mimicking Real-World Threats: Simulations that mimic real attack scenarios.
- Testing Detection and Response: Evaluating the security team's ability to detect and respond to attacks in progress.
- End-to-End Simulation: Involves all aspects—from technology, to people, to processes.
Deliverables
The deliverables of red teaming include a comprehensive report containing:
- Executive Report: High-level summary for senior management.
- Technical Report: A description of the TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures) used during the simulation.
- Evaluation of Detection and Response Capabilities: Detection time and response time of the security team.
- Mitigation Recommendations: Technical, operational, and strategic measures to address the findings.
Results
The end result of our red teaming services provides your organization:
- A deep understanding of the real-world threats that can compromise systems.
- A complete assessment of security readiness, from technology to incident response teams.
- Prioritized recommendations to improve overall security.
