Red teaming is the ultimate real-world assessment for all efforts done for security programs. Testing scenarios help you identify and understand gaps (if any) and how to approach different risks. Real attacks will will also test incident response capabilities of the organization without the risk of incurring losses.
Red Team includes physical security testing, social engineering, 3rd party relationships, hacking, malware insertion, phishing, pivoting and human manipulation. It looks at the response, the detection, the success rates and the gaps.
A red team exercise will be delivered in the following stages:
- Planning and Staging Workshop
- Covert Testing Period
- Response Analysis Workshop
- Strategy and Governance Recommendations
Checksum is the first security company to introduce Red Teaming in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
