Red Teaming

Red teaming is a full scope, multi-layered, simulated attack designed to get a holistic review of the level of risk and vulnerabilities across people, processes and technologies in an organization. The ethical hacker will identify and test your exposures for weaknesses using social engineering and stealth to avoid detection. Red teaming is most useful when an organization has a robust security program in place and is looking beyond a traditional penetration test.
To get the most value, we recommend defining at least five goals or tasks for the testers to focus on. A few examples include obtaining domain admin privilege on the client's network, unauthorized access to payroll data, attempting to compromise a critical network component (e.g., firewall, switch, Crane, chemical pump), deploying ransomware (on test data), or access to credit cards or sensitive PHI information.
Red Teaming Approaches:
A timed approach where our team tries to get access to a specific objective or goal from the outside.
A split approach where our team sets a specific number of days to attempt to penetrate the network from the outside, followed by another specific number of days in an assumed breach scenario to see what damage can be done if someone obtains access.
Begins with a black box assessment to simulate various external threat actors
Evaluates the likelihood of a remote compromise via phishing or external perimeter
A stealthy approach tests your blue team’s capability to quickly identify and respond to active threats and gaps
Blue team will be in the dark about when and how the simulated attack will occur
Identify users that would be most vulnerable, or most targeted by attackers and see how they react to active attacks
See how exposed your most valuable data is if it were targeted
Ethical hackers simulate realistic attack scenarios using OSINT and threat intelligence
Test objectives that would cause significant damage to your organization’s assets, reputation or regulatory compliance
Blue team will be in the dark about when and how the simulated attack will occur
Conduct a red team and blue team replay session to determine areas of strength and improvements
