WHAT WE DO
Siberserang
Siberserang is our suite of offensive cybersecurity services. It encompass proactive and controlled simulated attack on computer systems, networks, and applications. Our ethical penetration testers conduct these assessments to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses, providing valueable insights for your organization to fortify defenses, safeguard data, and mitigate potential real-world cyber threats.
SERVICE
1. PENETRATION TESTING
Also known as “pentesting,” it is a controlled and simulated attack on a computer system, network, application, or infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could potentially be exploited by malicious hackers. The goal of penetration testing is to evaluate the security posture of the target system and provide insights into areas that need improvement.
Our approach at sibertahan involves the following activities.
- Planning and Scoping: This involves defining the scope of the penetration test, including the systems, applications, and networks to be tested, as well as the goals and objectives of the test. It’s important to communicate with the organization being tested to ensure that the test does not disrupt normal operations.
- Reconnaissance: This phase involves gathering information about the target, such as IP addresses, domain names, and other publicly available information. This information helps the penetration tester understand the target’s attack surface and potential entry points.
- Vulnerability Assessment: The penetration tester uses various tools and techniques to identify vulnerabilities in the target systems. These vulnerabilities could include outdated software, misconfigured security settings, or other weaknesses that could be exploited.
- Exploitation: In this phase, the tester attempts to exploit the identified vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to the target system. The goal is to demonstrate what a real attacker could achieve by exploiting these vulnerabilities.
- Post-Exploitation: If the penetration tester successfully gains access, they may perform additional actions to demonstrate the potential impact of a breach. This might include escalating privileges, accessing sensitive data, or even establishing persistent access.
- Analysis and Reporting: After the testing is complete, the penetration tester compiles a detailed report that outlines the vulnerabilities that were identified, the methods used to exploit them, and the potential impact of a successful attack. This report also provides recommendations for mitigating the identified vulnerabilities and improving overall security.
- Remediation: The organization’s security team uses the findings from the penetration test to address the vulnerabilities and weaknesses that were identified. This might involve applying patches, reconfiguring security settings, or implementing additional security measures.
Penetration testing is a critical component of an organization’s overall cybersecurity strategy. It helps identify and address vulnerabilities before malicious hackers can exploit them, thereby reducing the risk of a successful cyberattack. Additionally, penetration testing provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of an organization’s security controls and helps improve incident response procedures.
2. RED TEAMING
Red Teaming is an advanced form of cybersecurity assessment that goes beyond traditional penetration testing. It involves simulating real-world attacks to evaluate the effectiveness of an organization’s security measures, processes, and people. Red Teaming aims to provide a holistic view of an organization’s ability to detect, respond to, and mitigate sophisticated and targeted cyber threats.
At sibertahan, our Red Teaming service has the following characteristics:
- Realistic Simulation: Red Teaming involves simulating complex and multifaceted attack scenarios that closely mimic the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by actual threat actors. This approach helps organizations understand their vulnerabilities and weaknesses in a more comprehensive manner.
- Adversarial Mindset: Red Teamers adopt an adversarial mindset, thinking and acting like real attackers. They use a combination of technical expertise, social engineering, and other creative tactics to achieve their objectives, just as real cybercriminals would.
- Comprehensive Assessment: Red Teaming goes beyond just technical vulnerabilities. It assesses the entire cybersecurity ecosystem, including technology, personnel, physical security, processes, and even the organization’s ability to detect and respond to threats.
- Scenario-Based Approach: Red Teams often work on extended engagements that involve multifaceted scenarios. For example, they might attempt to breach an organization’s defenses, move laterally within the network, and attempt to exfiltrate sensitive data, all while evading detection.
- Collaboration: Red Teaming typically involves close collaboration between the organization’s internal security team and the external Red Team. This collaboration helps in understanding the organization’s security landscape and ensures that the test aligns with the organization’s goals.
- Reporting and Recommendations: Like traditional penetration testing, Red Teaming concludes with a comprehensive report that outlines the techniques used, the vulnerabilities exploited, and the potential impact of the simulated attacks. Additionally, the report provides actionable recommendations to enhance the organization’s security posture.
3. ADVERSARY EMULATION
Adversary Emulation, also known as Purple Teaming, is a cybersecurity practice that involves simulating the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of specific threat actors or attack groups in order to assess an organization’s ability to detect, respond to, and defend against those specific threats. This approach helps organizations enhance their threat detection and incident response capabilities by testing them against realistic attack scenarios.
At sibertahan, our approach to Adversary Emulation includes:
- Specific Threat Models: Adversary emulation focuses on emulating the behaviors and strategies of known threat actors or attack groups. These could be threat actors associated with certain nation-states, cybercriminal organizations, or other identifiable groups with distinct attack patterns.
- Realistic Scenarios: The practice involves creating scenarios that closely mimic the tactics, techniques, and procedures of the selected threat actors. This might involve using the same tools, methods, and entry points that the real threat actors use.
- Collaboration: Adversary emulation requires collaboration between the organization’s internal security team and external experts who have deep knowledge of the targeted threat actors. This collaboration ensures that the simulated attacks are accurate and representative of the real-world threats.
- Testing Detection and Response: The primary goal of adversary emulation is to test an organization’s capabilities in detecting, analyzing, and responding to the specific threats being emulated. This includes evaluating the effectiveness of security monitoring, incident response procedures, and overall security controls.
- Improvement and Training: The insights gained from adversary emulation help organizations identify gaps in their security strategy and operations. By detecting and addressing weaknesses in a controlled environment, organizations can better prepare for real-world attacks and continuously improve their security posture.
- Scenario Complexity: Emulated scenarios can range in complexity, from simple attack patterns to more advanced and multifaceted attack campaigns. This allows organizations to evaluate their defenses against a variety of potential threat scenarios.
- Actionable Recommendations: The results of an adversary emulation exercise are typically documented in a detailed report. This report outlines the techniques used, vulnerabilities exploited, and areas for improvement. It provides actionable recommendations to strengthen the organization’s security posture.
