Red Team Operations Services
Intelligence Driven Cyber Security Operations
Red Team Operations
The Red Team Operations engagement consists of a realistic, “no-holds-barred” attack scenario in your environment. The Certcube Labs red team uses any non-disruptive methods necessary to accomplish a set of jointly agreed-upon mission objectives while simulating attacker behavior. The red team closely mimics a real attacker’s active and stealthy attack methods by using TTPs seen on real, recent incident response engagements. This helps assess your security team’s ability to detect and respond to an active attacker scenario.
Why to conduct Red Team Oprerations
- Test detection and response capabilities. Security teams prepare for real-world incidents, but you must confirm that they can respond properly without real risk.
- Raise awareness and show impact. The Certcube Labs red team behaves like a real-world attacker, working and compromising your environment from the Internet by using information only available to the Internet. Successful red team engagements can help justify increased security budgets and identify gaps that require further investment.
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing Services
gLOBAL SECURITY ASSESSMENTS FRAMEWORKS & sTANDARDS WE FOLLOW
OWASP
Global Standrd for cyber security assessments and auditing organisationfrom cyber attacks..
NIST
The standard defines guidelines for Planning and reconnaissance, identifying vulnerabilities, exploiting vulnerabilities and documenting findings.
PTES
The penetration testinng executaion standard defined the guidelines for how to conduct a comprehensive cyber security assessment .
OSSTMM
A complete methodology for penetration and security testing, security analysis and the measurement of operational security towards building the best possible security defenses .
MITRE
The MITRE ATT&CK framework is a curated knowledge base and model for cyber adversary behavior, reflecting the various phases of an adversary's attack lifecycle and the platforms they are known to target.
Our approach to Red Team Assessment
Scope Planning
Our team will establish the assessment’s boundaries and rules of engagement, ensuring that the evaluation does not disrupt the client’s daily operations. Our expert consultants assess the client’s existing business risks and formulate goals to simulate those risks effectively. The objectives, scope, and rules of engagement for the red team exercise are carefully defined to align with the client’s specific security requirements.
OSINT
Our skilled pentesting team will utilize discreet techniques to gather information about your organization during this phase. The data collected will be leveraged to perform social engineering attacks aimed at obtaining information about the physical aspects of the target, such as access points, personnel, and infrastructure. This information will play a crucial role in planning and executing the red team exercise effectively, helping identify potential vulnerabilities and areas for improvement in your organization’s security defenses.
Initial Access
Our team will leverage the OSINT gathered during the reconnaissance phase to gain access to networks or breach buildings. Our security consultants can be breaching locations through electronic stand-off attacks against wireless networks, electronic bypass methods, and social engineering attacks.
Exploitation, Persistence and Post Exploitation
Once the exploitation process started and access is obtained, our team shifts objective to maintaining persistence within the organization’s network while skillfully evading detection by security controls. Additionally, the security team attempts privilege escalation to elevate their access privileges within the network, simulating the actions of a determined and skilled adversary seeking to maximize control.
Data Exfiltration
The skilled team simulates data exfiltration by accessing and extracting sensitive information from within the organization’s network.
Lateral Movement
the team’s strategic maneuver is to clandestinely evade detection while progressively escalating privileges to enable deeper levels of exploitation. By executing such multiple lateral movement techniques, the red team effectively demonstrates potential attack pathways, exposes security blind spots, and helps the organization bolster its defensive capabilities against real-world cyber threats.
Reporting and Debrief
The team compiles a comprehensive report that includes an executive summary, methodology, key findings, risk analysis, prioritized recommendations, and a roadmap for improvement.The report is presented to the organization’s leadership and relevant teams to guide remediation planning and enhance future cybersecurity measures.
Key features of our Red Teaming service
What you can expect from a Red Team Operation conducted by Certcube:
EVALUATE YOUR RESPONSE TO ATTACK
Learn how prepared your organisation is to respond to a targeted attack designed to test the effectiveness of people and technology.
IDENTIFY AND CLASSIFY SECURITY RISKS
Learn whether systems, data and other critical assets are at risk and how easily they could be targeted by adversaries.
ENHANCE BLUE TEAM EFFECTIVENESS
By simulating a range of scenarios, red team testing helps your security team to identify and address gaps in threat coverage and visibility.
ADDRESS IDENTIFIED EXPOSURES
Receive important post-operation support to address any vulnerabilities identified and mitigate the risk of suffering real-life attacks.
