Red Teaming

Fortify 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: 

Reconnaissance

Our red team gathers information about the target like email addresses and other important facts. The more information gathered, the better becomes the plan of the attack.

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.

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.

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

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.

Our experts take possession of the target system remotely using commands. This helps understand to what extent an organization’s data can be compromised.

Our Approach

We, at Kratikal, initiate our red teaming exercise by gathering comprehensive information about the target through public tools like Maltego and similar resources. 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 tools needed for the engagement.

FAQs

How big is a red team and what are the objectives of red teaming?

    A red team is built based on the gravity of the simulation exercise. There is no fixed rule about the number of members of a red team, rather depends on the intensity of the work and the size of the organization. The goals of a red team are to simulate real-world attacks, identify vulnerabilities, test defenses, assess incident response, and improve security posture.

    Red Teaming is highly effective when used alongside vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. Red teaming is useful for testing software after implementing new security measures or for investigating and addressing a new vulnerability after a security incident. Routing red teaming exercise is the best option as it will secure the organization from evolving risks.

    All organizations can benefit from red teaming. It helps enhance an organization’s security defenses. Large enterprises, financial institutions, healthcare providers, government agencies, technology companies, e-commerce and retail, energy and utilities, educational institutions, etc should implement red teaming as a part of their cybersecurity measures.
