Center of Excellence Security - Red Teaming Services

Adversarial Insight Red Teaming

Proactively strengthen your security with our expert red teaming. Simulated attacks expose vulnerabilities, empowering you to outsmart real-world threats and fortify your defenses.

Red Teaming Services at COE Security

At COE Security, our Red Teaming Services are designed to simulate advanced, real-world cyberattacks to assess your organization’s security defenses, response capabilities, and overall resilience against sophisticated threat actors. Unlike traditional penetration testing, Red Teaming adopts a holistic approach by focusing on the full spectrum of potential attack vectors ranging from network intrusions and social engineering to physical security and insider threats.

Our Red Teaming engagements go beyond identifying vulnerabilities. We challenge your security posture by testing both the technical and human aspects of your security defenses. By mimicking the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by advanced persistent threats (APTs) and adversaries, we provide a comprehensive evaluation of how well your security measures stand up under attack, while also assessing the effectiveness of your detection and response capabilities.

Our Approach

Define Engagement Objectives and Scope: Establish the mission, boundaries, and success criteria of the red team exercise, aligned with business-critical assets and threat scenarios.
Conduct Threat Intelligence Gathering: Perform reconnaissance using OSINT, dark web monitoring, and internal research to emulate real-world adversaries.
Design Realistic Attack Scenarios: Create tailored attack paths based on likely adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) relevant to the client’s industry and environment.
Establish Rules of Engagement (RoE): Set clear guidelines, escalation procedures, and safety controls to ensure ethical operations and avoid disruption of business services.
Execute Initial Access Operations: Simulate entry points like phishing, credential stuffing, or exploiting internet-facing assets to gain a foothold in the target environment.

Perform Internal Reconnaissance and Lateral Movement: Explore internal systems, escalate privileges, and move laterally to discover and pursue high-value assets and data.
Demonstrate Impact and Persistence Techniques: Show potential business impact by accessing sensitive data or systems, while testing the target’s detection and response readiness.
Coordinate with Blue Team for Detection Evaluation: Collaborate with the internal security team (if applicable) to test SOC visibility, alert handling, and incident response effectiveness.
Document Findings and Attack Narrative: Provide a detailed timeline of tactics used, controls bypassed, and assets compromised, along with technical evidence and risk impact.
Deliver Remediation Guidance and Debrief: Present actionable mitigation strategies, control enhancements, and recommendations in a debrief with all stakeholders.

Five areas of Network and Infrastructure Security

Penetration Testing as a Service

Our Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) is an integral component of Red Teaming Security Services, offering continuous, on-demand testing to assess your organization’s security from a real-world attacker’s perspective. We simulate the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of malicious actors to identify vulnerabilities within your infrastructure, applications, and networks. This includes testing for weaknesses in systems, networks, web applications, and APIs, aiming to expose potential entry points that could be exploited during a full-scale attack. By using the same tools and methods as cybercriminals, our PTaaS provides valuable insights into your organization’s vulnerabilities, helping you patch critical security flaws before they can be exploited.

Social Engineering Services

Social Engineering Services are a crucial aspect of our Red Teaming approach, as they focus on testing your organization’s human vulnerabilities. Social engineering techniques simulate phishing attacks, spear-phishing, pretexting, baiting, and other manipulative tactics that threat actors might use to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data, systems, or networks. We assess your organization’s ability to recognize and respond to social engineering attacks, testing employee awareness and security protocols. Through tailored attack simulations, we identify areas where training or enhanced security awareness programs are needed, ultimately strengthening your defenses against the human element of cyber threats.

Application Security Consulting

Application Security Consulting is key in Red Teaming Security Services to ensure that applications are resilient against advanced cyber threats. During a red team engagement, we assess your web applications, mobile applications, and internal software solutions for common vulnerabilities, such as insecure authentication, code injection, and improper session management. We also evaluate how your applications interact with other systems and networks to identify potential pathways for attackers. By integrating application security best practices into your software development lifecycle (SDLC), we help you design and develop secure applications that resist exploitation by malicious actors, preventing potential entry points for attackers targeting application-level vulnerabilities.

Network Penetration Testing

Network Penetration Testing is a core component of Red Teaming, designed to identify and exploit weaknesses in your organization’s network infrastructure. Our network penetration testers simulate cyberattacks to find vulnerabilities in firewalls, routers, switches, and other network devices, as well as in network protocols. We attempt to bypass network defenses, gain unauthorized access, and escalate privileges within your network, testing for risks such as unsecured ports, weak passwords, and misconfigured devices. By providing a comprehensive analysis of your network’s security posture, we help you understand potential attack vectors and fortify your network against real-world attacks, ensuring that your organization’s network remains protected from advanced persistent threats (APTs).

Cyber Resilience

Cyber Resilience is a critical focus in Red Teaming, ensuring that your organization is prepared to withstand and recover from a cyberattack. Our services assess not only the effectiveness of your security measures but also your organization’s ability to detect, respond, and recover from security incidents. We simulate full-scale cyberattacks to test your incident response protocols, business continuity plans, and disaster recovery processes. We assess the speed and efficiency of your response, identifying gaps and weaknesses in your recovery strategy. By enhancing your cyber resilience, we ensure that your organization can quickly recover from attacks, minimize downtime, and continue operations even after a breach or disruption.
