It further helps to lay the foundation for security policies.
Comparing Red Team Engagement to other security testing typesĭifference b/w Pentesting and Red Team: Pentesting is used to monitor control and identify vulnerability in order to secure them along with testing the efficiency of the vulnerability management process. These impacts are typically performed against live production systems to have the highest level of fidelity but can be executed on test and development environments if they are representative systems. The level of depth and of the impact can be as ‘painful’ as an organization is willing to explore. Operational Impacts can be very effective in demonstrating realistic impacts against a target. It is operational impacts that distinguish Red Teamer from others. These effects can be as general as performing a denial of service attack or more specific such as using high jacked ICS equipment to control a city’s power grid. Operational Impacts: Operational Impacts are actions or effects performed against a target designed to demonstrate physical, informational or operational weaknesses in security. In any case, effective planning and determination of the critical components of a threat will lead to better threat emulation design. The biggest challenge in threat emulation is simulating the threat to a level where an analyst believes the threat is real, Approaches range from using real malware to developing custom malware that models a real threat, to using tools that generate the indicators of compromise (IOCs) an attack from a real threat leaves behind. Therefore, the main focus of the Red Team is should be on the key component and then use their own TTP to fill in the gaps. When in Practice it can be difficult to simulate the real-world scenario in an exact manner. When creating the threat emulation scenario, that threat’s key component should be defined. No matter what the scenario, the TTP outline by the scenario drive the rules a Red Team must follow to perform an engagement. Emulation can be done of various attacks such as – zero attacks, script kiddie to the advanced adversary or a specific threat like botnets, ransomware, DDOS, etc. Threat Emulation: This is the process of mimicking the TTP’s of a specific threat. Comparing Red Team Engagement to other security testing types.Red Team follows the Roles of Engagement (RoE). The objective of the Red Team is to simulate the real-world attacks in order to measure the organization’s defences and their incident response Team. Basically, it is the way of utilizing strategies, systems, and methodology to simulate real-world scenarios so as to prepare and measure the security defences of the organisation. Red Team is a group of highly skilled pentesters that are summoned by an organization to test their defence and improve its effectiveness. But the process of Red Team will not be sufficient in identifying risk the organization should continue maintaining the security measures from their end in order to appropriately manage risk and provide security protection. Appropriate situational awareness of security infrastructure is a result of detailed Red Team research.
Nevertheless, Red Teaming should test for all types of attacks to provide a complete security assessment. Attackers typically only target a single vulnerability for a specific exploit because to do otherwise would increase the possibility for detection. However, the Red Teaming approach is more in-depth than what most potential attackers follow because they are attempting to find a single vulnerability, whereas security professionals need to find all possible vulnerabilities for a given infrastructure in order to assess the associated risk. Various tools, whether open-source or commercial, can be used by Red Teamers to acknowledge vulnerabilities and to exploit them to their advantage. In order to determine such risks, it is the primary responsibility of Red Team operators to recognise potential threats or vulnerability. Red Teamers have to identify the risk to the network infrastructure of an organisation as a measure of pre-evaluation so that the execution of engagement can be carried properly. Red Teaming comes under the level of assessment in the information security domain.
In this post you will get to know all about RED TEAM Operation and Practice, idea for this article came from the SANS SEC564 by Joe Vest and James Tubbervile.
