In the field of cybersecurity, teams are generally divided into two main categories: Red Team and Blue Team. While the Blue Team is responsible for defending and protecting information systems, the Red Team is dedicated to simulating attacks and finding vulnerabilities.
What is the Red Team?
The Red Team is a group of cybersecurity professionals dedicated to performing offensive tests on an organization’s computer systems. Their main objective is to identify and exploit existing vulnerabilities to improve overall security. Through simulations of real attacks, the Red Team helps organizations understand their weak points and prepare more robust defenses.
Some of the functions of the Red Team at INSSIDE Cybersecurity include:
- Pentesting:
They work on infrastructure, systems, and web applications with the goal of finding vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an attacker. They also evaluate the exposed surface and analyze assets that could be targeted for attack. Additionally, they assess and guide mitigation and remediation actions for the detected vulnerabilities. - Ethical hacking:
They perform offensive cybersecurity services aimed at detecting vulnerabilities and exploiting them by simulating an external attack. The considered scopes allow for the evaluation of architectures, infrastructure, applications, and processes. - Red Team exercises:
They review infrastructure, core systems, and applications to detect vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an attacker. They work based on manual actions and automated tools that allow information gathering and comparison against vulnerability databases. - Facial biometrics solution testing:
They analyze and evaluate the integration between applications and facial biometrics solutions with the goal of detecting vulnerabilities that could lead to fraud. They review digital onboarding applications and transaction validation that use facial biometrics as an identity verification solution. - ASV scans:
They perform vulnerability scans required within the PCI regulatory framework.
The Red Team plays a crucial role in the continuous improvement of an organization’s cybersecurity. Their offensive approach allows for the identification and correction of flaws before they can be exploited by real attackers. Aligned with the highest security standards, INSSIDE Cybersecurity has been providing user support and advice for over 17 years. For more information, click here.
