An attack simulation is a realistic simulation of a real attack, which takes into account not only technical but also human security factors, which are not included in conventional pentests. All digital and analogue processes from the IT security management of a company are put to the test and an attempt is made to access sensitive information in every conceivable way and as undetected as possible. In this way, you gain valuable insights, from prevention to detection to reaction, and achieve a sensitization of the responsible employees. A pentest or cloud audit, on the other hand, should uncover as many vulnerabilities and configuration problems as possible, exploit them and determine the risk level. All identified security problems are presented to the customer together with an impact assessment, a proposal for risk reduction or a technical solution.
Attack simulations (often also APT simulations) are very individually designed by us and the framework conditions must always be defined in close consultation with the customer. Basically, we classify e-mail spear phishing into two categories, whereby e-mail spear phishing is often also carried out as part of a Red Team Assessment.
Red Teaming emulates a malicious actor actively attacking and trying to escape detection, similar to an advanced and persistent cyber threat.
Phishing attacks are very focused and sophisticated in that they are not classified as such by the security infrastructure or the spam filter. The last line of defense is then the employee.
Before an attack simulation, a Cloud Security Assessment or Pentest is recommended.
