Red Team Testing
The term Red Teaming is often used to describe a process in the cyber security industry that allows an organisation to mimic a real-world threat to see how their employees and technology would respond in the event of an attack.
Red Teaming aims to not only detect vulnerabilities and exploit them, but to understand what is possible if a breach occurs. Our Red Teaming experts mirror the conditions of a genuine cyber-attack by utilising the same tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used by threat actors.
While the goal of a penetration test is usually to uncover as many exploitable vulnerabilities as possible, the goal of a Red Team assessment is to achieve a specific objective – typically to access target data or systems. Because the wider IT or security team is kept in the dark, a Red Team exercise tests the ability of the defenders (the ‘blue team’) to detect the attack and respond to it.
Red Teams are solely focused on reaching their goal – getting to sensitive data or systems. If they get access by exploiting some vulnerabilities, they will not find any other vulnerabilities that may exist. A penetration test, by contrast, is focused on identifying all the exploitable vulnerabilities that might exist, regardless of how likely they are to be exploited.
What a Red Team offers is insight into the overall security posture of the target organisation (covering strengths and weaknesses), including detection and response capabilities, logical and physical security, security awareness and culture and includes recommendations for key issues identified.

Cybaverse will engage with the client to determine their requirements and ensure that the engagement is correctly scoped to deliver on those requirements and make sure all of the correct legal requirements are satisfied.
If the project requires, further investigation will be undertaken to fully assess the requirement and a comprehensive quotation provided.
Depending on the requirement, our Red Teams will attempt to gain access to the systems as per the agreed scope. The team will use several methods to obtain access to company systems over an agreed time period.
Depending on the agreed approach for exploitation, Cybaverse may also attempt to gain further access from the compromised host(s) further into the client’s network or attempt to obtain sensitive information.
As with all our services, we will provide detailed expert advice in our report to help align your infrastructure with industry best practice security standards.
As far as is possible, the systems tested will be returned to their pre-test state to remove any uploaded files or elevated accounts that were created if appropriate and desired by the customer.
