Testing all Areas of Your Business
By simulating an advanced persistent threat, red team engagements fully test the ability of your organisation from its staff, technology and policies to identify and mitigate against such threats. The red team consultants will assess the whole attack surface of your organisation, and identify areas where sensitive information and critical assets are at risk of compromise.
Red team engagements are capable of detecting many of the vulnerabilities that are often overlooked and inherently restricted by scopes in traditional testing methods due to the comprehensive methods the consultants use.
Real Life Attack Scenarios
Cyber criminals and state sponsored actors will use any method to exploit any and all vulnerabilities they can to compromise your organisations security and reach their end goal. Our red team consultants will reply the same tools, procedures and tactics to ensure the advanced persistent threat simulation is as realistic as possible.
The red team engagement will use a blend of attack tactics to challenge the virtual and physical defences of your organisation deploying tactics such as social engineering campaigns, simulated malware and ransomware attacks and physical intrusions on company sites.

What is a Red Team Engagement & Why do I Need One?
Red Team assessments are complex assessments that span over multiple attack vectors, which aims to simulate a realistic scenario from an Advanced Persistence Threat (APT) group’s perspective. This will include covertly attacking a company’s external and internal network(s), applications, people and physical security controls.
Our experienced security consultants (that have worked in the intelligence and special operations community) will use the latest threat intelligence gathered on your organisation to deliver an engagement that mimics real-world situations that would be carried out by organised crime groups, state-sponsored actors, insider threats, corporate espionage spies and politically motivated groups.

Scoping & Intelligence Gathering
Our experts will listen to you and your needs to develop a tailored testing strategy. From here our consultants will use a wide variety of penetration testing tools and resources to gather information on your organisation.
Reporting & Remediation
Now the test is complete our consultants will fill out a detailed report of their findings, broken down by category and type, adding any remediation advice to the exploits and vulnerabilities they discovered. This data will be accessible via SecurePortal and follow up calls will be made to walkthrough the test and the steps required to remove the risks found.
Make Your Testing Experience Easier with SecurePortal
SecurePortal provides clients with a new way to monitor and analyse the data you receive in your penetration tests. Rather than a lengthy physical report you gain a range of simple features that highlight your test findings and vulnerabilities.
Easily access remediation advice from our team of consultants on discovered vulnerabilities and assign them to your team for fast and efficient resolution. Receive overview and trend data of all of the current security issues you face in your organisatio and so much more./

By uncovering gaps in security, red team engagements can help businesses take proactive steps to mitigate risks and protect themselves against future attacks
These engagements simulate real-world attacks, allowing businesses to test their response plans and improve their incident response capabilities
Red team engagements can help identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in your security defences.
6-Step Process
Our Red Team Assessment Framework
Engagement
This first stage is an opportunity for the client and consultant to establish boundaries and rules of engagement for the assessment which will ensure minimal risk is out on the day to day running of your organisation. Our expert consultants will identify current risks associated with the clients business and build goals to simulate that risk.
Reconnaissance
Our consultants will use a number of tactics to covertly gain information on your organisation that is available within the public domain. Information gathered at this stage will be used in phishing style attacks and for information on the physical target.
Delivery
Our consultants will use the information from the reconnaissance phase to now gain a foothold into the networks, or breach buildings. Stand-off electronic attacks against wireless networks, electronic bypass methods and spear phishing can be used by our consultancies to breach locations.
Command and Control
Once a foothold has been established, our consultants will test the resilience of an organisation to establish its response to an advanced persistent threat and its capability of identifying any ingress and egress of sensitive or malicious data.
Lateral Movement
Simulating the movements of a real world ‘hacker’, consultants will use techniques often found during a penetration test to move laterally through the company to gain access to critical or company sensitive data.
Post Engagement
Post engagement is an opportunity for our consultants to debrief the client prior to report submission and offer expert tactical and strategic recommendations to help further develop your security strategy and enhance your future response to potential cyber attacks.
What is Advanced Persistent Threat (APT)?
APT stands for Advanced Persistent threat and is a real danger to todays businesses.
Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups are organisations that are classified worldwide as actors that lead attacks on a country or organisations information assets that are of financial, security and strategic economic importance. These are often the big players reported in the mainstream media such as Fancy Bear from Russia and Lazarus Group from North Korea and use tactics such as misinformation, social engineering and sophisticated hacking techniques over a sustained period of time.
Due to the advanced and continuous nature of these attacks, they are often aimed at high level organisations and state targets, however small to medium sized business are often in their sights if they make up the supply chain of these bigger targets.

How Does a Red Team Assessment Work?
A Red Team assessment is a comprehensive, real-world simulation of cyber attacks designed to evaluate an organisation's security posture and readiness. The process involves a team of our highly skilled ethical hackers (the Red Team) attempting to breach the organisation's defences using advanced tactics, techniques, and procedures. The goal is to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the organisation's systems, processes, and personnel before actual attackers can exploit them.
In summary, a Red Team assessment is a multi-stage process that provides organisations with an in-depth understanding of their security strengths and weaknesses. By simulating real-world attacks, the Red Team helps identify and address vulnerabilities, ultimately enhancing the organisation's overall resilience against cyber threats.
