Hire Red Team to Look at Your Software and Systems

After spending millions of dollars carefully securing a network, hiring a group of researchers and bug hunters to break in may not seem like the brightest of ideas. But sometimes, the best way to surface hidden vulnerabilities is by conducting a simulated attack on your infrastructure. And that’s what the  Red team does. A full-scope, multi-layered attack simulation done to check how strongly a company’s networks, people, applications, and physical security can control or withstand an attack from a real-life adversary is what we call Red Teaming . There are several reasons to hire Red Team. One of them is, they keep a fresh set of eyes to look at your systems and software. Yes, once you hire a red team, that means a totally fresh set of eyes looking at your data, network, and application security. Often, groups know the weak spots in their systems and tend to investigate the same spot repeatedly. On the other hand, people who are not familiar with your company’s infrastruct

Professional Ethical Hacking and Pen Testing for Cyber Security

Hacking is ethical too! Yes. Ethical hacking is a planned process that involves an authorized attempt to gain unauthorized access to a computer system, application, or data. This is attempted to carry out an ethical hack involving duplicating strategies and actions of malicious attackers. Let us discuss more on this subject.   The Penetration Test   It is basically a simulated cyber-attack. A penetration test or pen test is carried out against a computer system to check for exploitable vulnerabilities. When it comes to the context of web application security, penetration testing is commonly used to augment a web application firewall. We call it WAF in short. This type of test involves the attempted breaching of application systems. It uncovers vulnerabilities, such as unsensitized inputs that are susceptible to code injection attacks. A number of application systems can be application protocol interfaces or APIs and frontend and backend servers.   The main focus of the pe
