Infopercept's Red Teaming engagements are designed to achieve specific goals, such asgaining access to a sensitive server or business-critical application. Red teaming projectsdiffer in the core essence ofmindset used and are heavily focused on emulating an advanced threat actor using stealth,subverting established defensive controls, and identifying gaps in the organization'sdefensive strategy. The value ofthis type of engagement can be derived from a better understanding of how an organizationdetects and responds to real-world attacks. For a red team assessment to be successful,organizational buy-in isessential from senior management from the very start across departments such as IT, HR andlegal.
Cybersecurity resembles a military drill, where only the latest proactive practices andprocesses will keep you away from defeat. The military keeps their soldiers on their toes bycontinuously runningwargames; cybersecurity experts should be doing the same by running simulated cyberattacks,which will show attack paths and weaknesses in the IT systems and network. Red Teaming andBAS tools will alloworganizations to continually and safely simulate the realistic full attack cycle againsttheir infrastructure, virtual machines, and other means. On the other hand Red Teamingconducted by Infopercept'ssecurity experts, will apply their knowledge of how to breach defenses to the task ofpenetrating an organization's networks.
Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) solutions represent a new and emerging market, whichperforms automated security testing. It is challenged by the existing securityinfrastructure and some model attackchains to identify the most-likely path an attacker would use to compromise anenvironment.
