Red Team Testing

You consider the security system of your organization to be robust and foolproof, and cannot be compromised by cybercriminals. However, you will be surprised to find out that there may be gaps in your security system in the form of backdoors, unexpected entry points, and less observed routes, which cybercriminals can exploit to the hilt.

Red team testing can launch multi-pronged targeted attacks on your IT systems by using a wide array of tools and methodologies, which an external attacker is expected to use. It goes beyond traditional penetration testing where security experts only look for potential vulnerabilities or weaknesses in your IT infrastructure within a defined scope against any cyber-attack on your organization.

Offensive Shield’s Red team security testing or assessment can check your organization’s readiness in stopping any cyber-attack in real-time. We provide your organization with information as to how well-equipped it is in detecting, responding, and preventing any cyber threat scenario. Apart from penetrating your organization and reaching out to your data assets, our experienced security experts verify the incident response system of your organization as to how effective it is in mitigating threats. Our Red team testing exercise includes activities such as social engineering, physical security testing, hacking, manipulating humans, malware insertion, exploiting 3rd party relationship, and pivoting. At the end of the exercise, we give you a comprehensive report documenting the existing vulnerabilities, advice on remediation, strategies on threat protection, and the way to further strengthen your security apparatus.

Why is Red Team Testing important for your organization?

With advancements in digital technologies namely, AI and MR, Data Analytics, Cloud Computing, Big Data, and Mobility, among others, organizations are enhancing the quality of their value chain to deliver superior customer experiences. However, cybercriminals are fast catching up with such advancements and in many cases, even surpassing them to meet their malevolent objectives. So, as an organization, you cannot remain complacent or ignorant to the machinations of cybercriminals but work towards securing your IT infrastructure on a continuous basis. After all, the organization built on trust, hard work, perseverance, and dedication cannot be left vulnerable to be exploited by threat actors.

As a reliable red team testing organization, we deploy the cutting-edge methodology to test the effectiveness of your security system. It involves launching a simulated targeted attack on your systems with the aim of compromising your critical business assets by harnessing every trick that hackers supposedly have in their arsenal. By executing a Red team testing assessment, your organization can discover the vulnerabilities in your IT infrastructure comprising networks, servers, connected or stand-alone devices, applications, employees, third-party clients, IoT devices, cloud, and APIs, among others. It can determine the efficiency and effectiveness of your security systems including their monitoring and alerting capabilities. Most importantly, it can highlight the existing weaknesses in your processes and incident reporting mechanism.

What are the benefits of Red team Testing?

Verify the security of your organization against real-world cyberattacks. The simulated attacks expose your organization to the worst-case scenarios, both on-premise, and the cloud.
Derive a realistic understanding of the potential risks and capabilities of your IT systems.
Detect and mitigate any existing security vulnerabilities.
Receive recommendations to improve the security of your organization on a long-term basis.

Offensive Shield’s Red Team Testing Methodology

Our Red team uses the below-mentioned methodology in consultation and collaboration with your organization’s leadership team. We begin by outlining the rules of engagement so that your leadership team is aware of the specific activities.

The team undertakes reconnaissance using a host of OSINT tools, resources, and techniques to gather information about aspects or elements such as open ports, external network IP range, hosting servers, web-mobile applications along with their APIs, email IDs, phone numbers, and social media profiles of employees, and IoT and other embedded systems.
Post reconnaissance, our team maps the strategy and attack methodology. The approach may include analyzing cloud controls for any misconfiguration, checking any weak credentials in authentication forms, considering any detected vulnerability to launch attack vectors, or creating pretext scenarios for social-engineering like fake emails, malicious attachments or URLs, etc.
To mimic the approach of real-world cybercriminals, our team uses an array of techniques such as deception, stealth, and evasion to break into your systems and business assets.
The team takes a no-holds-barred approach to achieve its objectives, which may include using various facets of social engineering and physical intrusion.
The team may use a host of attack vectors by breaching the testing systems or sandboxes, getting access to servers using brute force or stolen/breached credentials, and targeting employees and other stakeholders through social engineering techniques.
The team provides a comprehensive post-testing report detailing the exercise, the attack vectors used, the findings and actionable insights on any existing risks or vulnerabilities, and suggestions on remediating or mitigating the risks and strengthening the system’s security.
