Offensive Operations
Attack to defend.
Penetration Testing
Penetration testing allows an organization to validate the effectiveness of security controls and defensive capabilities from an attacker's perspective. Testing can be conducted internally to validate things like access control, data loss prevention, ransomware protection, or intrusion detection systems in the event of an insider attack. External testing can test the effectiveness of perimeter firewalls or web applications against internet-based threat actors.
We'll leverage extensive experience gained from attacking and defending both government and commercial networks to validate your security controls, and to identify potential weaknesses before bad guys do.
Red Team Engagements
Red Team Engagements are similar to penetration tests, but they're broader in scope, cross multiple security domains, and may continue over periods of months or years. Rather than testing a particular system or security control, a Red Team engagement will typically target an entire department or organization with the ultimate goal of gaining a security advantage by finding weaknesses you don’t know about before someone else does. Any organization can benefit from this type of engagement, but they are most often conducted when an organization needs protect highly-sensitive or valuable assets and provide customers or regulators with a high level of assurance.
In a Red Team engagement, we'll use any (legal and authorized) means necessary to identify and exploit as many vulnerabilities as possible, or to simulate attacks by nation state or APT (advanced persistent threat) groups . This provides your organization with the most comprehensive view of security risks and their potential impact, allowing you to prioritize your security efforts through an adversary's lens.
Electronic Security System Assessment
What do you see in this picture?
We see one of the most overlooked insider threats on an organization’s network.
More specifically, we see a bunch of vulnerable computers installed on the outside of your facility, some of which could even be within arm’s reach of a potential attacker.
And, with growing demand for video analytics and integration to business applications, these soft targets are getting more access, more storage, and faster processors. Unfortunately, this can also provide a capable foothold for bad guys to exfiltrate sensitive data, move laterally within your network, or attack other systems.
