Red Teaming

How robust are your cyber defences when under attack? Do your staff know how to respond in a crisis? Red teaming – a real intrusion simulation – is the only way to find out. Test your incident response using Red teaming.

What is Red Teaming?

Carried out by a team of ethical hackers, red teaming is designed to test your organisation’s cyber defences in the most realistic way possible. A typical exercise involves simulating attacks against critical functions and systems (people, processes and technologies) without informing your security team.

Red teaming is the best way to:

  • Get a thorough and accurate understanding of your cyber maturity and defence capabilities under real-world conditions
  • Ensure your cyber security and IT teams are prepared to respond to an attack
  • Raise awareness of the importance of cyber security among your wider employee base
  • Simulate real life adversaries that could attack an organization at any moment
