At some point you may get a nagging feeling that some of the security controls you have implemented may not work as well. The only way to maintain significant levels of confidence is to constantly validate the resilience of your organisation against known and emerging attack methods.
This is the inconvenient truth about cybersecurity as we know it today.
Our threat driven and continuous validation approach will provide you with the data you need to determine if your security controls are working as expected.
The Cyber Partners team has unrivalled expertise and skills, having recruited the top experts from within the world of cybersecurity, incident response and forensics.
Cyber Partners combines both expert analysis of historical forensic evidence and real-time threat detection and hunting, allowing the team to detect attacker activity.
The platform allows immediate, real-time visibility into your IT environment, identifying potential compromises and allowing quick action to make sure incidents don’t escalate.
We develop attack simulations tailored around your oraganisations needs following industry standards like MITRE ATT&CK
Attack simulations can test a wide range of process and procedures, putting your systems and teams up against real attack profiles in your enviroment.
We can design and implement a breach simulation that covers threats that are common, emerging or targeted to yuor demographics.
Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS) is a new approach to attack simulation and differs from the traditional pentests and red teaming exercises in a significant way. The traditional tests are valuable in that they provide insights in the most probably attack path that an adversary may take. It is the path of least resistance through an organisations defences. These tests are important but not designed as a method for validating and fine-tuning security controls or enhancing security roadmap building. Yet this is how they are often (mis)used and may unintentionally lead to a trail-and-error approach to cyber security.
BAS on the other hand is aimed at providing insights in a wide variety of (potential) attack paths. This makes BAS especially suited for validating and fine-tuning security controls. Once the relevant BAS-attacks are under control traditional scenario based pentests or red teaming may be used periodically for (external) validating an organizations overall resilience.
Cyber Partners helps organisations to get the most out of BAS-technology through our managed service. We deploy the technology, validate the payloads for its testing purpose, apply the relevant attack scenario’s and unit tests for your organisation to enhance and optimise your security controls. Our frontline (offensive) experts ensure that the right controls are tested, with the right set of tests. They also develop custom payloads where needed for more accurate validation.
When deciding on the balance and investment of prevention, detection and response controls there are multiple challenges to solve:
We provide our BAS service to help you solve these challenges by managing, creating & maintaining the attacks that are relevant to your organization.
On average, companies deploy 47 different cybersecurity solutions and technologies in their environment. There's no good way for them to ensure they're working efficiently and cost effectively without a breach and attack simulation platform.
Without a proper BAS platform, most organizations have a red team either on their own staff or contracted externally. The challenge is that red team testing is infrequent, and the coverage delivered is therefore limited by personnel hours; as a result, coverage is unfortunately smaller than the scale of the security team's defenses. Humans can also only cover limited terrain compared to an automated solution
Manual control validation is also a common tactic that often leads to silent failure of controls. Security teams who rely on this tactic only leave the organization more vulnerable to breaches.
A reliable BAS platform will generate insights and improve decisions across the complete security organisation, from risk to operations and compliance — and offer a rich depth of use cases to improve effectiveness across the security program. The three pillars of insight of a threat-informed defense strategy are known threats (aligned to the MITRE ATT&CK® framework), security control efficacy, and risk management on the basis of key compliance frameworks (like NIST 800-53).
• Make better decisions about people, processes, and technologies.
• Maximise return on investments and inform future investment decisions.
• Identify control and organisational weaknesses so your program performs as planned.
BAS verifies security capabilities across your entire enterprise, raising efficiency, productivity, and effectiveness by measuring security program performance against known threat behaviours.
