Red and Purple Teaming
Red Teaming
Red Teaming is a approach to security testing that simulates the Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) of real-world actors. The objective is to test an organisation’s security strategy and see how it detects and responds to threat. The group of red team testers try to identify and exploit any gaps within an organisation’s controls.
Purple Teaming
Purple teaming is a security methodology in which red and blue teams collaborate with the intention of providing a stronger, deeper assurance activity that delivers more tailored, realistic assurance to the organisation being tested.
Purple teaming can help security teams to improve the organisation’s readiness to deal with real world threats.
When the red and blue teams collaborate in intelligence sharing, the organisation is able to better grasp the attacker’s Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs). By going through these TTPs through red and blue team activities the organisation can fine-tune its ability to detect and respond to real-world threats.
Why Choose Us For Your Red and Purple Teaming Needs
Our testers are certified and highly experienced, ensuring our approach aligns with industry-best practice, avoids system disruption and protects the integrity of your data.
Choosing us will allow your organisation to:
Achieve Greater Awareness
With networks expanding due to the expansion of internet-facing infrastructure, adoption of cloud services and increased outsourcing/remote-working arrangements, you will gain greater awareness of the parameters of your network, which is an essential first step to safeguarding its perimeter.
Reduce Risk
With perimeter breaches among the most common cyber threats, external network penetration testing helps your organisation mitigate one of the most significant risks you are likely to face.
Achieve Compliance
Many cyber security standards emphasise the importance of regular penetration testing. For example, PCI-DSS requires external network penetration testing to ensure your organisation is maintaining adequate security controls. External network penetration testing by VKM can help you achieve, prove and maintain compliance.
Gain Confidence
External network penetration testing will give you, as well as your suppliers and commercial partners, confidence that your internet-facing infrastructure, including valuable data, is appropriately safeguarded against unauthenticated intrusions.
