Would your business survive a real world cyber attack? Identify critical vulnerabilities in your defences and provide key risk insights to stakeholders.
The growing digitalisation of business operations creates numerous entry points for cyber attackers to compromise critical systems and expose assets, data and customer information. Organisations are also facing relentless pressure from regulators and stakeholders to quantify the effectiveness of their security controls across their systems and platforms and provide a clear roadmap of remediation.
Ethical hacking exercises are an effective way to test an organisation's prevention and detection capabilities with real world cyber attack scenarios. However, to get the most value from these exercises, they should be approached as programmatic, strategic exercises that deliver intelligence driven insight into new or emerging weaknesses in a business.
We aim to replicate the techniques used by real world attackers by delivering bespoke intelligence driven simulated attack exercises that assess the full suite of defence in depth controls, including the often overlooked areas of people and processes. We further focus our approach based on the risk profile for each client to make our ethical hacking services as realistic and tailored as possible.
Clearly understand and communicate the security vulnerabilities within your business to key stakeholders.
Inform your compliance efforts to meet regulatory requirements and standards such as CHECK, ISO 27001, NIST CSF and PCI DSS.
Assess your ability to detect and respond to real world cyber attacks rather than theoretical scenarios.
Evaluate the effectiveness of your security tools, technology and processes.
Develop a remediation plan that seeks to address the root cause issues and reduce risk exposure across the whole organisation.
Red Teaming helps organisations to understand how they can defend themselves against a cyber attack with a particular goal in mind, such as gaining access to a critical application or stealing privileged credentials. The way in which the attack is carried out could involve multiple vectors to achieve this goal.
We have a proprietary and industry approved methodology for delivering real world and intelligence led red team exercises. Our Red Team, consisting of penetration testing, threat intelligence and incident response experts, work collaboratively to deliver a holistic approach to simulated attacks. This allows us to adopt the latest tactics used by attackers and provide a realistic assessment of your organisation’s resilience to cyber threats.
Our Penetration Testing services apply tailored testing methodologies to identify security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by real world threat actors. We offer a number of different penetration testing services depending on the technology under test and the attack scenario being emulated:
We offer advanced penetration testing services tailored for identifying business critical security vulnerabilities in Operational Technology and IoT environments. This includes:
We have a dedicated lab equipped with the latest technology, as well as a dedicated team with experience conducting security reviews of physical hardware, Operational Technology and IoT environments such as Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV), Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Connected Devices.
Our hardware security testing methodology covers a full physical analysis of hardware devices, as well as individual components (such as flash memory and processors).
We are members of CREST’s Simulated Targeted Attack & Response (STAR) scheme. This demonstrates our proven experience and ability to deliver threat intelligence led simulated attack and red team exercises.
