Enterprise APT Assessment

Cyber security attacks against organisations are evolving rapidly in scope, complexity and sophistication. To address this risk, organisations deploy layers of defensive measures, solutions and controls to reduce their exposure to attacks and improve their response readiness.Be4Breach Enterprise Advance Persistent threats (APT) Assessment complement the defensive layers to assess the effectiveness of defences and improve the security team’s preparedness to detect and respond to incidents.

The objectives of Enterprise Advance Persistent threats (APT) Assessment are to assess and enhance the resilience of an organisations against sophisticated APT threat groups. Be4Breach Team begins by analyzing intelligence to determine the data breaches and threat groups most active in your industry vertical. We then create SIP scenarios to emulate the tools, tactics and procedures (TTPs) used by those groups. Our Team then use those TTPs to test your security team’s ability to detect and respond to industry-relevant threats in realistic scenarios.

Benefits of Service

Be4Breach Enterprise Advance Persistent threats (APT) Assessment methodology provides a more authentic and holistic view of an organisation’s resilience to threat groups most active in your industry vertical.

By simulating Enterprise Advance Persistent threats (APT) Assessment methodology, the following benefits can be achieved:

An assessment of the organisational resilience against Advance Persistent Threats techniques, tactics and procedures.
Identification of weaknesses in security controls and associated risks not detected by standard vulnerability and security testing methodologies.
An assessment of the organisation’s security incident management and/or crisis management response and processes.
A safe, controlled opportunity to identify and enhance the security posture of a organisation reducing risk of cyber compromise.
An opportunity for the defensive teams, such as the security monitoring or incident response team to gain experience and be more proficient in detecting and responding to incidents.
Provide pragmatic direction to the involved stakeholders as well as confidence in an informed post-activity short, medium and long-term security strategy.

Approach & Methodology

The typical methodology of executing Advance Persistent threats (APT) involves four distinct phases, with planning, attack preparation, attack execution and exercise closure.

The Advance Persistent threats (APT) starts with a “planning phase” where the scope of the assessment is defined and described, service providers are sought and a budget is set aside. An Exercise Working Group is formed and communication protocols are defined.
The second phase, “attack preparation”, involves the creation of Advance Persistent threats (APT) scenarios based on the threat groups most active in your industry vertical.
The third phase, “attack execution”, is usually comprised of several sub-phases where Be4Breach Team executes the APT's in your environment.
The final phase, “exercise closure”, is for reporting, cleaning-up, transferring knowledge, remediating and communicating outcomes at the conclusion of the exercise.

Be4Breach leverages the cutting-edge Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) to identify weaknesses in your environment, technology, and processes before a real attacker can create devastating effects in your organization.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an increase in cyber threats?

The number, variety, and complexity of threats are growing at an alarming rate. Many specialists in the field of cybersecurity have seen a dramatic increase in external cyber assaults, particularly those launched by criminal groups and foreign governments.

Do threats arise from mobile devices?

The ease of mobile devices and the ability to be "online all the time" are two major benefits. Mobile devices have been extensively used by governments for the purposes of increasing access to government resources and the efficiency of government employees.
However, there are inherent security concerns and additional points of entry to the network when mobile devices are used for communication and data exchange. It's undeniable that mobile malware risks are on the rise, and lost or stolen devices are a major mobile security risk.
The usage of one's own mobile device at work, as well as the need for user identification, both pose additional dangers. A variety of recommendations for government agencies may be found in the NIST paper "Guidelines for Managing the Security of Mobile Devices in the Enterprise" (SP 800-124).

How should we pay for cyber defences?

Cybersecurity spending should go toward developing capacities like cyber tools and education. However, cyber security cannot be an afterthought in the planning stages of any project, programme, or management effort; rather, it must be "baked into" each one from the start. Every company should include cyber security funding in their annual budget since it is a necessary expense.

Isn't cyber security something that everyone already knows?

People know something about cyber security, but not enough to keep themselves safe. Most people probably also know how important it is to keep data safe and that cyber threats are getting worse.Effective cyber security, on the other hand, is something that both the government as a whole and the people who work for or are served by the state government need to keep working on.
This ability needs to be used, tested, and improved on a regular basis through awareness training in order to fight not only aggressive cyber threats, but also cyber events that happen by accident.

Do cloud services cause new problems with cyber security?

Yes. Cloud services promise to offer flexibility, scalability, measured service, and some cost savings, but they also pose more security risks when it comes to accessing and storing government data and authenticating users.
When judging cloud computing in general and the different deployment models, it's important to know how much cloud services cost and how safe they are (public, private, hybrid, community). Cloud services made for consumers that are used by government workers pose extra risks because they might not have strict security controls.

How do I plan a comprehensive approach to cyber security for my business?

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework might be the best place to start. The Framework is a guide that uses the standards, rules, and best practises that are already in place. The Framework gives organisations a common taxonomy and a way to:

Describe their current state of cyber security and where they want to be in terms of cyber security.
Identify and rank opportunities for improvement in a process that is ongoing and can be repeated;
Check how close you are to your goal;
Talk about cyber security risk with both internal and external stakeholders.
