While we cannot predict when a client will be targeted by a cyberattack, an attack simulation – also known as a "red team" exercise – will give them a fuller understanding of their organization’s level of preparedness.
A red team exercise goes further than typical penetration testing, providing a more in-depth assessment of an organization’s detection and response capabilities against a simulated threat actor with defined objectives (e.g., data exfiltration). An organization with a mature vulnerability management program that includes regular pen testing may get additional benefits from our red team security services.
Kroll designs red team operations to exceed the limits of typical security testing, rigorously challenging the effectiveness of an organization’s data security controls, personnel and processes when detecting and responding to targeted cyberattacks. During testing, our experts evaluate an organization’s reaction to the simulated attack, helping them identify security risks and expose any hidden vulnerabilities. This allows our clients to better address and remediate gaps in their data security so they can allocate more resources toward future growth and investments.
