During his presentation, Ian will discuss the basics of red team (or full scope) testing and explain how to get the most out of this process based on his years of experience. Some of the topics he will cover include:
- The right time for red team testing from a security maturity perspective
- How to scope, procure, and manage a red team test
- How an organisation should prepare for a red team
- How to assure that an organisation gets the maximum benefit from red team testing
- How to effectively apply the insight from the red team test to an organisation
During his accompanying two-day workshop on red team testing, Ian will teach attendees how to create a red team engagement methodology with repeatable test results, metrics and actionable findings. He will cover all of the elements of a red team test including planning and scoping, intelligence gathering, target selection, vulnerability analysis, risk analysis, exploitation and execution, resource usage and ad-hoc agent deployment, post-exploitation, documentation and recording of evidence, damage analysis, and final reporting.
IOActive offers red team testing as part of their full line of security services. A red team test is a no-holds barred, end-to-end assessment of an organisation’s security infrastructure and potential vulnerabilities.
