Hypothesis

Red Teaming is a goal-oriented service. The work begins with putting forward a hypothesis for the test, which serves as the basis for selecting targets and preparing attack scenarios. For example, a hypothesis could be obtaining access to a given service.

Targets

Targets are formulated concretely and they are achieved when the attacks in the scenario are successful (for example, when access to the email service is gained).

Scenarios

Scenarios include the type of intruder, the initial point of entry, the methods used, and the restrictions (for example, an external intruder with access to a branch office that has Wi-Fi).

Red Teaming service
outcomes

Empowering all teams:

The Infosec team will receive a list of risk areas to improve the security strategy.

CISO will see vulnerabilities related to human resources to improve internal processes, training, etc.

The business will receive a report on the risks related to critical information assets being attacked.

The Blue Team will identify their blind spots and receive a detailed explanation of the techniques used and the indicators of compromise to pay attention to.

Group-IB Red Teaming comparison
Red Teaming

Red Teaming is designed for companies with a high level of maturity in information security processes. It uses the most relevant realistic methods and tools to simulate/emulate actions taken by hacker groups and requires the availability of the Blue Team and threat detection and prevention practices.

Penetration Test

A Penetration Test exploits the most critical vulnerabilities in order to verify security (overcoming the external network perimeter, increasing privileges, etc.) and requires the availability of basic protective facilities and service personnel. A Penetration Test does not test the ability to respond to an incident.

Vulnerability Assessment

A Vulnerability Assessment helps identify the maximum number of vulnerabilities in the object under investigation and does not require active threat detection and prevention systems or service personnel. The service does not test the ability to respond to incidents.

Lean on industry-renowned
red teaming frameworks

If you want your company to undergo a comprehensive information security assessment and receive confirmation that it meets the highest possible standards, we conduct Red Teaming exercises based on world-renowned frameworks.

Put your team to the test
with Red Teaming by Group-IB
before an attack happens

As soon as cybercriminals penetrate your network, they could achieve their goals within weeks or even hours. Many organizations fail to detect malicious activity promptly, however, because the methods, tools and tactics used by hackers are always improving.

Red Teaming FAQ

Why is Red Teaming helpful?

arrow_drop_down

The key opportunities offered by Red Teaming are:

  • Evaluate cyber risks to assets
  • Detect unknown vulnerabilities and weaknesses
  • Check whether all security systems and processes work correctly
  • Identify the internal security team’s strengths and weaknesses
  • Improve the company’s ability to respond to cyberattacks
  • Increase the staff’s digital and physical security

How much time does it take to conduct a Red Teaming exercise?

arrow_drop_down

From preparing the attack to drafting a report, a Red Teaming exercise can take anywhere between 30 and 60 business days depending on the scope of the test.

The time to remedy vulnerabilities depends on how quickly the customer’s team can work on the solutions recommended by the Red Team.

What tools do you use?

arrow_drop_down

The Group-IB Red Team uses over 40 tools when simulating hacker attacks, including custom tools, Metasploit Pro, Dark Vortex Brute Ratel C4, Burp Suite Pro, Nuclei, Nessus, and many others

Can you bypass EDR, sandboxes, and other security controls?

arrow_drop_down

Yes. We use tools from trusted vendors as well as custom instruments designed by our own specialists to bypass sandboxes and EDR and to detect C2 frameworks, including those which are only just becoming popular among cybercriminals.

How will my Blue Team benefit?

arrow_drop_down

As a result of the Red Teaming exercise, the Blue Team will receive a report detailing how effective the company’s information security system is. The Red Team will also assess the Blue Team’s skills in detecting and responding to cyber attacks. In addition to the action report, the Blue Team will receive a list of IoAs and IoCs relating to the attack, which is equally relevant and important.

  1. Indicator of Attack (IoA): an indicator (predictor) that points to the likelihood of an attack occurring
  2. Indicator of Compromise (IoC): a term used in digital forensics that refers to a physical or digital artifact which proves that a system has been compromised.

If you find a critical vulnerability during the Red Teaming exercise, will you notify us immediately?

arrow_drop_down

Yes. One of our ground rules is that we immediately report any critical vulnerabilities we find so that they can be remedied right away.
