Red Teaming
Strengthen Your Defenses with a Real-World Cyber Attack Rehearsal
Overview: Red Teaming
Red teaming is like staging a realistic rehearsal for a potential cyber attack to check an organization’s security resilience before they become actual problems. The exercise has three key phases: getting inside the system, maintaining their presence undetected, and acting to achieve their goals. The job is to test an organization’s defenses, challenge security assumptions, and explore various attack methods to identify any gaps or vulnerabilities. Overall, the red teaming exercise helps understand the organization’s strengths and weaknesses in a real-world attack scenario.
Red Teaming: Methodology
Our red teaming methodology is as follows:
Weaponization
Our experts create a deliverable payload, which means, building an attack weapon. Once delivered, it can exploit the vulnerabilities. This will help understand the organization’s loopholes and weak lines of code.
Delivery
Our next step is delivering it to the right address where the attack is to be launched. Our main goal behind this is to cause damage to the target system using the attack weapon.
Exploitation
A vulnerability in the target system is exploited to run the harmful code. It is similar to finding a secret door that attackers use to sneak into the system
Installation
Our red team installs the deliverable payload after successfully exploiting the target to steal information. This is done to check the various ways an organization can be hacked.
C2 Execution
Our experts take possession of the target system remotely using commands. This helps understand to what extent an organization’s data can be compromised.
Benefits
Analyze different attack scenarios
Prioritize fixes based on risk level
Assess organization’s ability to handle threats
Define hacker's movement

Our Approach
We, at Kratikal, initiate our red teaming exercise by gathering comprehensive information about the target. This process helps our testers understand various aspects of the target organization, including its human community, technology, and environment. Furthermore, we also develop and procure specialized and customized solutions needed for the engagement.
