Offensive Security - VAPT & Red Teaming
In this service, SPS cybersecurity assessment consultants conduct and document a formal Security Assessment, Vulnerability Assessment, Penetration Testing and Configuration Reviews for Information Security Assets (IT and OT) with a view of identifying, estimating and prioritizing risks to which your organization’s operations are exposed due to information security vulnerabilities.
Request a QuoteCybersecurity Assessment ServicesEnsuring the security of IT infrastructure and applications against potential cyber-attacks and threats is a constant challenge for organisations. This challenge becomes even more significant for enterprises with large employee bases, numerous information systems, data centers, cloud accounts, and multiple office locations worldwide. To effectively defend against cyber adversaries, defenders must adopt the mindset and tactics of hackers. Penetration testing serves as a practical demonstration of sophisticated, multi-layered attack scenarios. In this process, a skilled attacker—using a combination of manual expertise and automated tools—identifies exploitable vulnerabilities and circumvents security controls within an infrastructure. The goal is to gain unauthorised privileges, infiltrate systems, move laterally, establish persistence, and exfiltrate sensitive and confidential organisational data. This approach helps organisations proactively identify weaknesses and fortify their defenses against real-world threats.
Major Areas of Cybersecurity Assessment
Cloud Security Assessment Amazon web services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) security assessment is performed based upon the CIS security benchmarks. To go above and beyond, we use our custom scripts and tools -- to cover all security aspects for cloud infrastructure.
Wireless Network Pentest Wireless network pentesting provides an ordered list of issues, their associated qualitative risks, and remediation guidelines for identified vulnerabilities.
Web/Mobile application Pentest Web and Mobile applications are tested for exploitable vulnerabilities identifications and business logic flows.
Social Engineering Based Testing End users are the weakest link of cybersecurity control chain. An assessment is conducted to test the security awareness among the personnel of the organisation that includes phishing, pseudo-malicious links in emails, and crafted suspicious attachments etc.
Red Teaming (RT) Unlike VAPT’s breadth intensive activities in vulnerability identification, our red teaming service is a depth intensive activity. It is based upon non-destructive methodology -- during the emulation of attacker’s behavior -- to achieve the ‘mutually agreed mission objectives’ with the Customer IT/security teams.
External Infrastructure Pentest Pentest scenarios based on an internal ‘attacker’, like a legitimate infrastructure user or visitor with only physical access to organisation network or a guest with limited systems access.
Internal Infrastructure Pentest Pentest conducted through the Internet by an ‘attacker’ with no preliminary knowledge of your infrastructure and systems.
Build & Configuration Review Pentest Build and configuration review testing uses an authenticated -- credential base access and scanning -- approach to identify vulnerabilities, security baseline & configuration settings, potential illegitimate access to sensitive data and other issues and potential compromises on devices. Modes of Assessment Service1. Black Box Penetration Testing (BBP):Black box penetration testing is conducted externally by a penetration tester who has no prior knowledge of the infrastructure or applications being assessed. The tester focuses on breaching the perimeter defenses of the infrastructure, mimicking the perspective of an external attacker. For application testing, the emphasis is on analyzing the inputs provided to the application and the outputs it generates. This mode is commonly associated with Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST).
2. Gray Box Penetration Testing (GBP): Gray box testing involves partial knowledge of the application or infrastructure. The penetration tester logs in through all available user profiles and attempts to escalate privileges or exploit vulnerabilities to compromise the system. This approach allows for more targeted testing scenarios. Black box testing is inherently a component of gray box testing, as it also includes external assessments. Gray box testing is also referred to as Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST).
3. White Box Penetration Testing (WBP):
The SPS Pentest team will provide a comprehensive post-assessment report following the penetration testing engagement. This report will include detailed findings of all identified vulnerabilities, along with clear, step-by-step guidance for remediation. The deliverable aims to empower your organization with actionable insights to effectively address security gaps and enhance overall resilience.
