Software for Adversary Simulations and Red Team Operations
When school is out for summer, it seems like everyone is on vacation – everyone except your (un)friendly neighborhood cybercriminals.
Something about the summer months puts us off our guard and threat actors on high alert. The only way to stay safe is to know what’s causing the trouble in the first place. We’ve packed our sunscreen – now read on to find out how to make sure your security also doesn’t get burned.
To stay ahead of cyber threats, organizations must anticipate attacks and eliminate weaknesses before they are exploited. This requires offensive security tactics delivered by an effective set of proactive tools that include pen testing, red teaming and vulnerability management.
There’s something positive about a healthy degree of fear. It lets us understand our own limitations, heightens our senses, and keeps us alive. The tendency to err on the side of caution was called out in our recent 2023 Penetration Testing Report as a smart practice when it comes to cybersecurity. In fact, though security professionals reported less confidence in their security posture, this loss confidence is a good thing. Overconfidence can blind us to risk and is more of a liability than an asset in cybersecurity.
Though red teaming is sometimes perceived as pen testing with the gloves off, in reality, the goal of these engagements isn’t to prove how much damage these skilled testers can do. Modern red teams must set out to provide learning opportunities for organizations and their blue teams, running attack simulations to help teach them how to better protect their infrastructure against real-world attacks.
Fortra’s Offensive Security Suite is comprised of three distinct enterprise-grade tools: Core Impact tests exploitation paths and lateral movement, Cobalt Strike enables advanced adversary tactics for Red Team operations, and
Due to the nature and power of these tools, we are required by various government entities to complete a thorough vetting process with all users of the software to ensure security. You will be contacted by a Core Security representative shortly to begin this process.
Advanced red teamers can maximize their engagements with this testing suite that features Core Impact, an automated pen testing solution, Cobalt Strike, a post-exploitation adversary simulation tool, and OST, an expertly curated offensive security toolset highlighting evasive capabilities.
First there was the boom – now there’s the bust. Organizations that invested in myriad new solutions to handle the complexity of myriad security problems now have a different problem on their hands – how do you handle all of the vendors?
Cobalt Strike and Outflank Security Tooling (OST) are two red teaming solutions that enable operators to execute the diverse and varied tasks that each engagement requires.
Equip your experienced red teamers with this testing suite that features Cobalt Strike, an adversary simulation tool with a flexible framework that is ideal for post-exploitation efforts, and OST, an expertly developed and assembled set of offensive security tools intended to assist in remaining undetected.
