Targeted hacker attacks are secret, silent, and quiet, and criminals use any means available. They exploit the social behavior of people and discover serious gaps in complex IT infrastructures. By skillfully combining these weaknesses, they may eventually reach their goal. Only attentive organizations with proactive defense strategies will be able to detect and lock out the attackers. Are your organization's protective measures sufficient for this?
In a Red Teaming Assessment, a realistic attack on a company is simulated and the lived information security is viewed from various sides. Security experts take on the role of the attackers – the so-called Red Team –, who target a company over a longer period of time and pursue a single goal: to compromise the IT infrastructure. Here, the focus is particularly on a covert approach that simulates a real attacker in a black-box approach. The company's so-called Blue Team is responsible for protecting the organization and attempts to detect the Red Team and successfully fend off attack attempts.
Together with its clients, aramido uses this Red Teaming Assessment to illuminate all facets of information security and accompanies organizations on the way to preempt malicious hackers and increase security.
If a dedicated Blue Team is available, security measures have already been established, and the organization as a whole is to be put to the test, then a Red Teaming Assessment is the right way. Together with the security experts from aramido, a comprehensive audit of the existing measures is carried out, which in particular answers the following questions:
| 1 | After a commission, a joint kick-off meeting takes place.
Following the meeting, the execution of the assessment is prepared, and a release is granted before the start of the actual exercise. |
| 2 | In the attack phase of the Red Teaming project, a longer period is used to research, plan, and carry out potential attacks.
|
| 3 | Joint result discussion, in which the discovered vulnerabilities and recommendations for action are presented.
With the end of the exercise and its results, the cooperation often continues in the diverse product portfolio of aramido. |
With the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), there is increasing reference to threats such as APTs, and Red Teaming Assessments are promoted particularly for certain sectors such as financial services. According to these standards, Red Teaming Assessments are carried out according to the conditions and specifications of established frameworks such as TIBER-EU and the recommendations of the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).
A Red Teaming Assessment is based on various procedures and attack patterns in order to subsequently carry out an individual security audit. The following attacks are listed as examples that are carried out during a Red Teaming Assessment:
