What is a Red Team Engagement?
BlackBug's Red Team engagements are an all-out attack on your organisation with the aim of compromising critical data assets in your network by any means possible.
Leveraging the vast threat landscape that a true attacker would have available to them, we imitate the real-world attacks that can hit your organisation, and perform all the necessary techniques that attackers would employ. By assuming the role of a highly-motivated attacker, we demonstrate all the ways that your information security is at risk.
The techniques used in a Red Team engagement vary from standard phishing attempts aimed at employees and social engineering to impersonating staff members, to compromising your phyiscal security and implanting Command and Control devices within your network. The demonstrated impact from a Red Team engagement paints a much larger picture that will aid your organisation in the planning, development and prioritisation of future information security initiatives.
- A 'Red Team' refers to a small cohort of experienced professionals that use any means possible to obtain unauthorised access to the specified target.
- A 'Blue Team' can be though of as the opponent of the Red Team, and are responsible for implementing defence mechanisms and protecting the organisation.
- 'Purple Teaming' is a concept that engages both teams to work cohesively to protect the organisation's most critical information.
- The main characteristic of a Red Team is thinking outside the box — constantly finding new tools and techniques to better protect company security.
- BlackBug proudly possesses a 100% success rate in obtaining access to the target in our Red Team engagements.
Why Choose BlackBug?
