An assumed breach assessment done by our experts can simulate a real-world cyber-attack if started before an attack. This step is useful for companies whose system has various vulnerabilities. So, this approach helps us evaluate and respond to existing and ongoing attacks. During the reconnaissance phase, our experts gather information about your network, systems, and accounts. This information could be used to plan our next move on exploitation.

After gaining initial access, we will attempt lateral movement to expand our control within your network. Your additional systems and accounts may need to be compromised for this. Common tactics for lateral movement involve exploiting weak passwords, sharing administrative accounts, and using vulnerabilities in remote access tools. That’s why we have grabbed a spot among the top 10 cybersecurity companies.

The post-exploitation phase simulates the actions of an attacker after they’ve achieved lateral movement. This stage focuses on how we can accomplish our objectives, like data exfiltration or deploying malware. Assessors of our organization exploit malware or disrupt operations. They may also identify additional vulnerabilities to maintain persistence within the network.

We check customer databases, financial records, or intellectual property during this stage. We will then test your data security controls and exfiltrate the data through various methods. This may include uploading data to the cloud, transferring it to external devices, or embedding it within emails. We also implement robust data loss prevention (DLP) strategies and improve your ability to prevent these activities.

In an assumed breach assessment, the retaining access allows us to install backdoors, create hidden user accounts, or exploit vulnerabilities in system configuration. By finding these persistent mechanisms, we can even improve our detection and remediation processes to prevent attackers from harming your system.

To notify authorities in your organization, we build reports that include the assessment’s goals, methodology, and key takeaways. This gives you an understanding of the overall assessment. The report also includes a detailed section on technical findings. It may be the severity level and potential impact. This level of detail makes sure that remediation actions were taken and at which stage.
