Red Teaming
Anticipate attackers’ movements to stay one step ahead
The problems are real
Unprepared
for reality
Security teams may understand how to defend against threat actors in theory but are unprepared to do so in practice.
Incomplete security controls
A company may often consider penetration testing sufficient and do not hire red teams for security testing.
Attackers
never sleep
Threat actors don’t work on a schedule and aim to launch unexpected attacks when the company is most vulnerable.
Unfamiliar
territory
A lack of knowledge of the cyber threat landscape and modern attacker TTPs will cripple blue teams.
How Red Teaming can help
Simulate real-life attacks
Red team attacks offer the most realistic opportunity to test how a company can defend against security incidents.
Bolster the blue team
Attack simulations are effective in exposing deep gaps in organizations’ infrastructure.
Uncover security breaches
The red team process teaches your team how to anticipate the movements of threat actors.
Optimize business processes
The red teaming results allow security teams to work out problematic issues in key elements of the organization.
Red Teaming stages

Target Intelligence
2-4 weeks2
- Perform extensive reconnaissance
- Develop initial scenarios involving potential attacks
Engagement
8-10 weeks3
- Conduct covert attacks on identified critical functions
- Develop alternative ways of achieving the objective
