Red Teaming & Pentesting Services

In today's environment, where the threat of cyberattacks is constantly increasing and companies are making significant investments in their security systems, Red Teaming is a key strategy. This advanced form of threat simulation tests the most robust security architectures under realistic attack conditions without requiring a separate test environment. Given the substantial sums companies spend to protect their networks and data, such realistic attack simulations are a crucial element in verifying the effectiveness of these security investments.

By simulating complex and multi-layered attack scenarios, vulnerabilities are not only uncovered, but responsiveness and organizational resilience are also strengthened. Special attention is paid to verifying the effectiveness of the Blue Team, whose response processes, analytical capabilities, and response speed are critical to improving the cybersecurity culture.

The goal of Red Teaming is to provide participating organizations with the greatest possible benefit by promoting the continuous adaptation and improvement of their defense mechanisms against the increasingly sophisticated techniques of attackers, without evaluating their success or failure. Organizations that invest a significant portion of their security budget in improving their defenses are therefore encouraged to also invest in such realistic tests to demonstrate the strength and effectiveness of their security architecture.

Physical security is a central component of a company's holistic protection concept. It protects not only buildings and facilities, but also employees, sensitive information, and valuable assets.

As part of a physical security assessment, existing protective measures—such as locking systems, alarm systems, or surveillance cameras—are reviewed. The goal is to identify potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by unauthorized individuals.

Attackers often use inconspicuous but effective methods to gain access or steal sensitive data. These include:

• Tailgating: An unauthorized person follows an employee through a secured door.
• Social Engineering: Attackers attempt to gain access to buildings or systems through convincing stories or forged emails.
• Access to High-Security Areas: Such as breaking into server rooms to steal confidential information or equipment.
• Device Infiltration: Small computers or other hardware are placed in the internal network to gain access.
• Data Extraction: Openly visible documents or unsecured paper records can reveal sensitive information.
• Endpoint Manipulation: Installing keyloggers or malware on computers and laptops.
• Access Card Cloning: Unauthorized individuals copy or steal access cards to gain entry to secured areas.

Our Initial Access Assessments simulate realistic phishing attacks to test the security awareness and responsiveness of your employees and uncover potential vulnerabilities. Our customized phishing campaigns use domains that resemble your company's and create fake websites to entice your employees to reveal passwords or install malware.

In addition to email phishing, we test other channels including:

• Social Media: Attackers pose as employees or partners.
• Online Forms: False credentials on job application portals.
• Vishing: Manipulation through spoofed caller IDs.
• USB Drives: Distribution of USB drives with malware.

We also conduct CEO fraud attacks, where attackers impersonate high-ranking employees to steal confidential information or money.

Additionally, we develop custom malware to measure the effectiveness of your XDR system. By combining different attack methods, we increase the success rate and effectiveness of our assessments. Upon request, we also simulate the techniques of known APT groups (Advanced Persistent Threats) to test your security measures under realistic conditions.

In an Assumed Breach Assessment, we assume that a device in your network has already been compromised. These tests skip the initial compromise phase and simulate scenarios where attackers already have access, in order to identify vulnerabilities in the internal network and evaluate the effectiveness of your security measures.

Our assessments can be conducted as an overt test with active security measures like XDR, or as a white-box approach without countermeasures to specifically uncover technical vulnerabilities.

Typically, we attempt to gain elevated privileges in the network using a standard user account. We then examine both the server and client infrastructure for vulnerabilities. Furthermore, we verify network segmentation to ensure that different networks such as client, server, and guest networks are adequately separated from each other. We analyze network shares for sensitive data and assess the security of the WLAN infrastructure. Another focus is on evaluating the configuration and effectiveness of your anti-virus and EDR systems.

Upon request, we also simulate the techniques of known APT groups (Advanced Persistent Threats).

Our security assessments for web applications uncover potential vulnerabilities and ensure the security of your applications and interfaces. These assessments can be performed with or without authentication, depending on requirements. Manual testing always takes priority to ensure a thorough and individual analysis.

In authenticated assessments, we test the implementation of authentication and authorization by attempting to access protected areas. During the assessment, critical functions such as registration or password reset are examined in detail to ensure with high probability that they have been correctly implemented.

Our assessments follow the OWASP Testing Guide to identify and remediate vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). This systematic and comprehensive methodology ensures that your web applications are optimally protected against current threats.
