Measure how fast your SOC or IT team detect and respond to incidents and where systems fail under pressure. Group-IB delivers red team security testing that simulates real attackers across your infrastructure, people, and processes.
Group-IB Red Teaming performs controlled intrusions based on in-depth threat intelligence to demonstrate realistic attack scenarios and improve cyber resilience.
Network, applications, etc.
Employees and partners
Offices and warehouses
Red Teaming is a goal-oriented service. The work begins with putting forward a hypothesis for the test, which serves as the basis for selecting targets and preparing attack scenarios. For example, a hypothesis could be obtaining access to a given service.
Targets are formulated concretely and they are achieved when the attacks in the scenario are successful (for example, when access to the email service is gained).
Scenarios include the type of intruder, the initial point of entry, the methods used, and the restrictions (for example, an external intruder with access to a branch office that has Wi-Fi).
The Infosec team will receive a list of risk areas to improve the security strategy.
CISO will see vulnerabilities related to human resources to improve internal processes, training, etc.
The business will receive a report on the risks related to critical information assets being attacked.
The Blue Team will identify their blind spots and receive a detailed explanation of the techniques used and the indicators of compromise to pay attention to.
General information about the test and conclusions about the state of the customer's systems and technologies
Scenarios and research methods
Tactics and methods used in cyberattack simulations
The vulnerabilities explored
Which scenarios were played out and what was accessed, indicators of compromise (IoC) and indicators of attack (IoA) so that the Blue Team is able to detect attacks in the future
Recommendations for fixing the vulnerabilities
Red Teaming is designed for companies with a high level of maturity in information security processes. It uses the most relevant realistic methods and tools to simulate/emulate actions taken by hacker groups and requires the availability of the Blue Team and threat detection and prevention practices.
A Penetration Test exploits the most critical vulnerabilities in order to verify security (overcoming the external network perimeter, increasing privileges, etc.) and requires the availability of basic protective facilities and service personnel. A Penetration Test does not test the ability to respond to an incident.
A Vulnerability Assessment helps identify the maximum number of vulnerabilities in the object under investigation and does not require active threat detection and prevention systems or service personnel. The service does not test the ability to respond to incidents.
Group-IB Red Teaming provides a realistic assessment of incident response readiness and overall security posture by simulating the methods used by relevant APT groups. Our red team security testing follow industry-recognized methodologies, enriched with Group-IB’s custom tradecraft and Threat Intelligence, and are continuously updated with frontline insights from CERT, DFIR, and investigations to reflect how attackers operate today.
Strengthen your information security system, even if you think it works well. There is always room for improvement – make sure your system is flawless. Group-IB Red Teaming involves a granular look at your security, and our suite of stellar solutions helps capture even the smallest derogation.
The Group-IB Red Team uses over 40 tools when simulating an attack, including custom tools created by our specialists and designed for bypassing sandbox and EDR solutions, as well as C2 frameworks, including those which are just becoming popular among cybercriminals.
We apply the most up-to-date knowledge about the threat landscape using trusted Group-IB Threat Intelligence technology
Based on more than 70,000 hours of Incident Response, our team has identified the tools and techniques most often used by intruders
More than 19 years of experience in investigating cybercrime helps us accurately mimic actions taken by given hacker groups
Our expertise is recognised by international rating agencies such as Gartner, Forrester and Aite Novarica
Group-IB is recognised by major industry analysts for our red teaming, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessment services. This gives you confidence that your red team exercise is executed in line with best practices and international standards.
As soon as cybercriminals penetrate your network, they could achieve their goals within weeks or even hours. Many organizations fail to detect malicious activity promptly, however, because the methods, tools and tactics used by hackers are always improving.
Talk to our experts about red team security testing to see how effectively your organization responds to complex cyber attacks. Share your current capabilities and requirements, and we will propose a tailored red team exercise that fits your risk profile and security maturity.
Frontline insights on attacker tactics and defensive measures to ensure your red team security testing aligns with the evolving cyber threat landscape.
The key opportunities offered by Red Teaming are:
From preparing the attack to drafting a report, a Red Teaming exercise can take anywhere between 30 and 60 business days depending on the scope of the test.
The time to remedy vulnerabilities depends on how quickly the customer’s team can work on the solutions recommended by the Red Team.
The Group-IB Red Team uses over 40 tools when simulating hacker attacks, including custom tools, Metasploit Pro, Dark Vortex Brute Ratel C4, Burp Suite Pro, Nuclei, Nessus, and many others
As a result of the Red Teaming exercise, the Blue Team will receive a report detailing how effective the company’s information security system is. The Red Team will also assess the Blue Team’s skills in detecting and responding to cyber attacks. In addition to the action report, the Blue Team will receive a list of IoAs and IoCs relating to the attack, which is equally relevant and important.
Yes. One of our ground rules is that we immediately report any critical vulnerabilities we find so that they can be remedied right away.
Red teaming shows how an attacker would target your organization, revealing where technologies, internal processes, and people are likely to fail before an actual incident. The key outcomes include:
