Effective management of your attack surface minimises the risk of exposure for any one of your cyber assets. When done correctly, attackers have limited options to infiltrate your systems and achieve their goals. Cybercrime, Industrial Espionage, or any other kind of breach of IT systems is always unexpected as the cybercriminals orchestrating these attacks don’t work according to playbooks. These types of attacks can be prevented by proactive counterattacking.
A red-team assessment is similar to a penetration test but is more targeted. The goal is to test the organisation’s detection and response capabilities. The red team will attempt to bypass these capabilities and access sensitive information in any way possible, as quietly as possible.
