Cyber red-teaming business-critical systems while managing operational risk
Cyber red-teaming allows mature organisations to gauge their true resilience to sophisticated, planned, and somewhat sustained cyber-attack. These organisations use red team engagements to assess multiple facets of their cyber security strategy, maturity and implementation.
With the introduction of programmes such as the Bank of England’s CBEST (Central Bank Ethical Security Test) and CREST’s STAR, and the general increase in demand from customers for sophisticated threat simulation by red-teaming, more and more assessments are being conducted in live environments, involving live users and real exploits. Most importantly, these assessments are being carried out against business-critical systems and functions.
