Simulate Real World Attack

Simulate Real World Attack

The activity Zeroiz is referring to is commonly known as a "Red Team vs. Blue Team Exercise". In this exercise, a team of security professionals, known as the "Red Team", attempt to penetrate the organization's security defenses to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses. The Red Team uses a variety of tactics, such as social engineering, penetration testing, and vulnerability scanning, to simulate real-world attacks and test the organization's security posture.

The "Blue Team" is the defending team that is responsible for detecting and responding to the attacks launched by the Red Team. The Blue Team monitors the network for suspicious activity, investigates potential security incidents, and implements security controls to prevent future attacks.

The goal of a Red Team vs. Blue Team exercise is to identify vulnerabilities in the organization's security defenses and improve its overall security posture. By simulating real-world attacks, organizations can identify weaknesses in their security controls and take proactive steps to address them before they are exploited by malicious actors.
WHO

WHAT

Blue teams use a variety of methods and tools as countermeasures to protect a network from cyber attacks.

HOW

Examples of blue team exercises include installing endpoint security software, confirming firewall access controls, analyzing logs, segregating networks, vulnerability scans, risk assessments, and security hardening measures.

WHO

Red teams are offensive security professionals who are experts in attacking systems and breaking into defences.

WHAT

Red teams utilize all available techniques to find weaknesses in people, processes, and tech to gain unauthorised access to assets.

HOW
