Identifying vulnerabilities in your network and applications

If you want to give your end-to-end security posture a real workout, an ‘offensive’ security review is just the thing.

Conducting regular penetration tests by Aura's team of ethical hackers is imperative to help identify vulnerabilities in your network or applications, before they can be exploited by cyber-criminals.

Simulation exercises such as purple or red teaming & social engineering puts your business’ technology, people and processes to the ultimate test; and uses the very same techniques often used by cyber-criminals and hackers.

Once complete, you can apply the learnings to remediate any deficiencies; and ensure you are spending your budget where it counts.

Purple Teaming

A Purple Team assessment is a collaborative engagement to improve your organisation's cyber security posture by using penetration testing approaches that simulate highly relevant adversary tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) to test your defensive controls. Aura’s Red Team penetration testers will work collaboratively with your Blue Team to run test scenarios and trigger detective controls, recommend improvements, then iterate to demonstrate effectiveness.

Social Engineering

Many cyber security breaches are not a result of a failure of technology, but rather exploiting human nature. Using social engineering, we test how susceptible your employees are to persuasive or deceitful manipulation – through social media, email or by phone.

This not only test your defences, it also provides valuable information on how to improve your security posture. For example, we can advise on any training that is required to plug potential holes in your security and ensure your staff know how to spot, and deal with, any potential threats.

Red Teaming Cyber-Attack Simulations

An Aura Red Team exercise tests your physical, network and application security from a cyber-criminal's point of view. It also assesses how your employees respond and stand-up to a broad multi-layered attack from the Aura team - who throughout the exercise are thinking and acting like a real-life adversary. If you really want to give your business an end-to-end security posture real-life workout, then an Aura ‘offensive’ Red Team is ideal for you.
