Raxis’ Cybersecurity Red Team Test is our top tier test that gives our customers a true feel of what hackers could and would do to their systems, networks, employees, and even offices and storefront locations.

While that looks like fun and games, it’s actually serious business. Red team tests are slow and methodical, making sure not to trip any alarms or cause wariness… until the first crack in the armor appears and then things often move quickly from there.

Hackers look for the low hanging fruit. Whether that is a friendly employee who lets them in, a badge reader system that is vulnerable to simple attacks, or an unsecured wireless network reachable from the parking lot, it’s likely only the first step. Once the Raxis team has some sort of access, we move quickly to establish long term access and to gain deeper access.

While network and application penetration tests check your security controls and make sure that you are protecting each system to the fullest extend and following best security business practices, a red team widens the scope and looks at any way – often the easiest way – to get in. The scope of a red team widens to cover all or most of your systems, just as a malicious hacker would.

Take a look at your cybersecurity controls, and, when you’re ready to take your testing to the next level, reach out to schedule a Raxis Cybersecurity Red Team Test.
