Red Team Testing Simulation Services
Can your security system withstand real-world attacks? Find out with Crypton.
Red teaming is a structured cybersecurity testing simulation service offered by Crypton. It involves a group of cybersecurity experts (the Red Team) who simulate real-world attacks on an organisation’s systems, networks, and personnel, attempting to breach these systems using various methods, including penetration testing, social engineering, and other advanced tactics. The goal is to test the effectiveness of the organisation’s security defences, identify vulnerabilities, and gauge how well the organisation can detect and respond to actual threats.

Why Are These Exercises Important?
These exercises are important because they provide a realistic assessment of your organisation’s ability to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber threats. By simulating real-world attacks, you can uncover vulnerabilities within your systems and address them before an actual incident occurs. This proactive approach ensures that your cybersecurity defences are robust and adaptive to emerging threats.
Benefits of Red Team Exercises
Realistic Threat Simulation
Our Red Team exercises give you a true-to-life experience of what an actual cyber attack would look like.
Enhanced Security Posture
By regularly engaging in Red Team exercises, your organisation can build a stronger, more resilient security infrastructure.
Identifying Hidden Weaknesses
Identifying and addressing issues before an actual attack occurs is key to maintaining a secure environment.
How we Do it
Define Objectives and Scope
We start by identifying the goals of the Red Team exercise, which may include testing specific systems, processes, or the overall security posture. Next, we clearly outline the boundaries of the exercise, specifying which systems, networks, and assets are within scope.
Plan the Exercise
After defining the scope, we develop realistic attack scenarios based on current threat intelligence and potential vulnerabilities. We also establish clear rules of engagement, including permitted actions, communication protocols, and reporting procedures, to ensure the exercise is conducted within the agreed boundaries.
Information Collection
We collect information about the target organisation, including network infrastructure, system configurations, and personnel and start the pre simulation phase.
Simulate Attacks
After the initial phases, we move to the attack simulation phase, where our Red Team conducts simulated attacks based on the developed scenarios. This may involve penetration testing, exploiting vulnerabilities, and attempting to bypass security controls.
Monitoring
We monitor the progress of the Red Team’s activities during the simulation. All activities, tactics used, vulnerabilities exploited, and interactions with the target systems are recorded.
Analyses, Report and Debrief
Using the findings from monitoring, we analyse the data to identify weaknesses, evaluate the impact of the simulated attacks, and organise a debriefing session along with a detailed report with the organisation. During this session, we discuss the findings and assess the effectiveness of their response, helping to clarify what occurred during the exercise.
