Red Team Testing

Let our skilled red team operators put your security investments to the test

Red Teaming is an advanced persistent threat engagement that simulates the malicious activity of a real-world attacker targeting your organization. A combination of penetration testing, social engineering attempts, and pivot attacks, our analysts use everything in their arsenal to find the weak points in your IT infrastructure. Instead of performing separate security testing on the various aspects of your information security program, Red Teaming presents one unified attack.

Realistic Attack
Simulation

Our security analysts will utilize the same combination of tactics and techniques deployed by bad actors to put your defenses to the test.

We designed our Red Team Test to be an all-out attack using any weakness found during testing. This could be leadership email addresses to be spoofed, insecure external networks, or dropping a malicious USB drive that an employee could plug into their internal device. How far we get into your IT infrastructure is all up to your organizational security, policies, and employees.

Red Team Testing Phases

Our Red Teaming engagements consist of multiple phases to form a full spectrum attack. As with a real world attack, these phases are not linear.

Information Gathering

Red teaming engagements start with reconnaissance and information gathering of employee names and contact information, online resources, potential networking information, and other pertinent business information. Our security analysts will use the publicly available information to build and facilitate an attack plan.

Phishing

As with most real-world attacks, phishing campaigns are one of the most successful and simple entry points for bad actors. Using the publicly available information from the previous phase, an analyst can assemble a targeted phishing campaign to compromise internal employees and facilitate other attacks. 

Vishing

An often-forgotten but highly-useful attack vector, phone vishing can lead to sensitive information disclosure or worse. Leveraging details from the Information Gathering and Phishing phases, a security analyst can mislead a target into giving them access to sensitive details like passwords to continue to build their backstory for future exploitation.

Physical Pentesting

Physical access to secure facilities trumps all security mechanisms. Our team will attempt to obtain access to sensitive areas using USB drops, rogue device installation, and try to gain physical access using the pretext compiled in the previous phases of the engagement.

External Pentesting

Just as an attacker would attempt to gain access to your organization from the internet, our analysts will use similar tactics and techniques to compromise your public assets. A security analyst can leverage external access to a device exposed to the internet like a firewall, website or VPN, to advance their attack.

Internal Pentesting

After establishing a foothold inside your network, the next step is to probe the internal network devices and hosts for vulnerabilities, then progress to lateral movement and privilege escalation. During this phase, the analyst often has access to the most sensitive data and will attempt to accomplish the mission objective while evading security defenses.

Wireless Pentesting

Weak wireless encryption and man-in-the-middle attacks can lead to data disclosure and advance the red team test objective. This phase will identify wireless signals that extend beyond intended boundaries, note weak encryptions, and validate rogue device detection capabilities.
