Red Teaming is a comprehensive security assessment where ethical hackers simulate real-world attackers’ Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) on all aspects of an organization, including its people, processes, and technology infrastructure. Unlike traditional vulnerability scanning or penetration testing, which focuses on specific vulnerabilities, Red Teaming takes a holistic yet objective-based approach, providing organizations with a more accurate assessment of their security posture.
The Red Team comprises highly skilled security professionals who take on the role of attackers to assess the effectiveness of an organization’s defensive measures. They aim to uncover potential security gaps, demonstrating how attackers combine unrelated exploits to access sensitive data and critical assets. Following the assessment, the team provides recommendations and plans to bolster the organization’s security posture, ensuring it remains resilient in the face of evolving threats.
Continuous Red Teaming is a proactive and dynamic offense strategy that establishes a continuous cycle of testing, learning, fixing, and evolving tactics to create a resilient security framework that effectively identifies and addresses vulnerabilities. It involves regular testing of the environment by emulating different potential threat actors, thus pursuing diverse threat objectives every time. This approach of employing different TTPs in each test ensures a comprehensive evaluation of defense mechanisms against existing as well as emerging threats.
These assessments help assess the preparedness of internal teams to handle incidents, fostering an adaptive cybersecurity approach. Typically performed in a “low and slow” manner with custom tools and scripts that are not easy to detect, these assessments avoid triggering alerts easily, making them more expensive than regular penetration tests.
Furthermore, Continuous Red Teaming assessments will also aid in answering the following questions:
Accorian is a leading cybersecurity firm, distinguished by its CREST accreditation, renowned for unparalleled expertise. Our team comprises technology and cybersecurity leaders, ensuring proficiency that exceeds industry standards. What truly distinguishes us is our commitment to tailor-made solutions. Each red team assessment, backed by our remarkable 100% success rate, is meticulously customized to meet an organization’s unique needs, ensuring relevance and effectiveness in today’s business landscape.
Accorian utilizes the F3EAD methodology integrated with the MITRE ATTACK framework, employing a systematic approach consisting of distinct phases:
In the Fix phase, the focus involves intense reconnaissance and intelligence collection against the selected target, delving into the intricacies of the target’s systems, networks, and potential points of exploitation. This step is vital in the Red Team assessment process, aiming to attain a level of familiarity with the target that facilitates informed decision-making in subsequent phases of the F3EAD methodology.
In the Finish phase, the focus shifts to setting plans into action by deploying Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) in a decisive and coordinated manner. This phase integrates various elements, including toolsets, intelligence, capabilities, and human expertise, amalgamating into a comprehensive and potent weapon system. It’s the focal point where planning and reconnaissance transition into practical, impactful actions. MITRE ATTACK TTPS are pivotal in shaping the attack path and enhancing the red team’s ability to navigate and exploit vulnerabilities effectively.
In the exploitation phase, Accorian acts as the Red Team actor and operationalizes the detailed attack plan into action to achieve mission objectives. This phase represents the culmination of strategic planning and the initiation of exploits to realize Red Team objectives.
In the analysis phase, the team gains insights into the systems’ responses; they can adjust their tactics and techniques accordingly. This phase involves continuous updates, revisions, and modifications to the attack path and exploitation strategies. Whether an exploit succeeds or fails, the iterative nature of the phase ensures that our testers remain agile and responsive to evolving conditions.
In the dissemination phase, raw assessment data is transformed into actionable intelligence, acting as a vital link between the Red Team’s activities and the broader organizational context. This documentation provides:
