Red Team: the most comprehensive test of your company's security
A Red Team test is the most comprehensive test a company can conduct because it doesn't just look for technical vulnerabilities. It replicates the actual methods cybercriminals use: combining a phishing email, a reused password, and an outdated device until they reach their target.
However, many companies only discover that their defenses weren't working together after suffering an attack. That's why the Red Team is the way to test it beforehand, in a controlled environment.
Unlike a pentesting, A Red Team, which seeks to exploit as many technical vulnerabilities as possible in specific systems, pursues a single objective, just like a real attacker. For example, gaining access to customer data or company accounting records using any means: technology, people, or processes. Therefore, a Red Team is especially useful for companies that already have security measures in place and want to verify their effectiveness.
The Red Team is the most advanced level of our services ethical hacking, And it makes more sense when the company has already corrected the errors from previous tests. In some sectors, it's already a requirement: the DORA Regulation (EU 2022/2554) It requires certain financial institutions to undergo advanced threat-based penetration testing, similar to a Red Team exercise, at least every three years starting in January 2025.
