Penetration testing and Red Teaming are two security assessment tools that have quickly gained traction in recent years, with professionals at all levels eager to jump onto the trend. However, to get real value out of these tools, you must first ensure your security program is mature enough to properly conduct one or both. But how do you figure out whether you’re ready for a pen test, a Red Team engagement, or a combination?
Software for Adversary Simulations and Red Team Operations
IT professionals like you know what you’re up against. The dynamics of today’s threat landscape require organizations to do more than just defend against cyber-attacks. While there will always be a need for defensive strategies and solutions, it is now essential for organizations to become more proactive and get ahead of threats to their critical assets.
Due to the nature and power of these tools, we are required by the U.S. Government 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.

Cyber criminals focus on the easiest targets, which often are federal agencies. A recent White House Executive Order on cybersecurity puts renewed focus squarely on securing federal network infrastructure. The order promotes, among other things, modernizing federal cybersecurity, improving detection of vulnerabilities and incidents, and moving toward a Zero Trust security model.

A recent White House Executive Order on cybersecurity puts renewed focus squarely on securing federal network infrastructure, which means federal agencies must step up their security games, complying with both existing and emerging regulations related to information security.
Cyber attackers are often portrayed as evil masterminds, but the truth is, most attackers are looking for the simplest wins. So what’s the best way to reduce your risk against threat actors? In addition to having reactive solutions and processes in place, organizations should also take a proactive approach, placing as many obstacles in an attacker’s way to make it too labor intensive to bother pursuing.
