Red Teaming in OT

Simulate Cyber attack with Red Teaming in OT

Offense is the best defense. Cyber crime, industrial espionage or any other kind of breach of IT systems is always unexpected and the hackers behind it don't work according to the testing manual. You can prevent all this by going on the attack, along with Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity.

With a large number of risks that belong to the category of ‘unknown unknowns’ and pushed by sophisticated cyber criminals and nation state threat actors, companies and states are combating an ongoing flood of attacks. Dealing with such events requires more than a dedicated Security Operations Center (SOC), it requires hands-on training and learning by doing. An increasingly popular way of testing and training in a controlled way is ‘Red Teaming’.
 

Originating in the military arena, Red Teaming is a security discipline that is gaining popularity in all industries of critical national functions, the financial sector, highly secured private companies and governments. By simulating full-spectrum cyber attacks, defenders get to practice their detection and response capabilities against high impact, low frequency events.

The Blue Team, responsible for defending, can be involved in various ways (or not at all). The White Team (the observers) can escalate and de-escalate when necessary.
