A corporation requires a comprehensive assessment of their security posture to uncover potential attack vectors and to test their incident response effectiveness. They require a simulation that not only uncovers initial entry points but also reveals lateral movement and privilege escalation possibilities within their network. Which service should they procure?
Given the corporation's requirement for an attack simulation that encompasses the discovery of entry points, lateral movement, and privilege escalation, the most suitable service is Red Team Engagement. This type of engagement aims to provide a realistic attack scenario by emulating the behavior of potential adversaries, hence highlighting weaknesses in both the technological and human elements of security and assessing the capability of the organization's incident response team. Blue Team Exercises are defensive in nature, focusing on the organization's ability to defend against attacks rather than discovering vulnerabilities through offense. Purple Team Operations involve both offensive and defensive teams working together, but do not necessarily include a full adversarial simulation like a Red Team. Threat Hunting is an activity to search for undetected threats within the network but does not involve active exploitation of vulnerabilities and attack simulation.
