Continuous Automated Red Teaming FAQs
Continuous automated red teaming (CART) adds automation and continuous testing to traditional red team exercises to validate entire attack paths from infiltration to actions on objectives. This proactive approach to security testing involves regularly automating and simulating real-world attacks on an organization’s systems and applications. The simulations attempt to breach an organization by autonomously deploying attack techniques that penetrate and gain an initial foothold within the network.
Cymulate CART is cloud-based and can be accessed through a web browser, only needing one agent per environment, eliminating the necessity for any on-premises installation. Cymulate CART simulates attacks that can propagate within the network in search of critical information or assets, providing for network penetration testing. Cymulate CART can test any technique on any stage of the kill-chain independently.
BAS and CART are two different approaches to security testing. BAS tests the effectiveness of security controls against known attack vectors, while CART focuses on if and how an adversary can breach an organization’s defenses by identifying and safely exploiting vulnerabilities. BAS testing is typically limited to specific areas of the network or specific applications, and CART testing covers the entire attack surface of an organization’s systems and applications. Organizations that combine these two approaches can gain a more comprehensive view of their security posture.
Cymulate CART provides reusable templates for baselining and ongoing testing, as well as land-and-pivot lateral movement, for more accurate and detailed results. Security teams can also create customized attacks, from infiltration to actions on objectives. Additionally, the phishing assessment capability provides all the resources to create an internal phishing campaign and measure employee resilience against phishing attacks. With Cymulate CART, security teams can test more environments, more often, without increasing their staff.
Traditional penetration testing services typically involve a one-time assessment of an organization’s security posture. Cymulate CART provides ongoing, continuous and automated assessments that validate entire attack paths from infiltration to actions on objectives. This allows businesses to identify and remediate vulnerabilities in real time rather than waiting for an annual or bi-annual assessment.
With Cymulate CART, red teams utilize automation and highly customizable simulations to increase their operational efficiency and optimize their adversarial activities in a production-safe environment. Cymulate CART also provides blue teams a framework to improve adversarial skills on the job, increase collaboration, and improve time to mitigation. In the face of budget cuts and the shortage of security professionals, Cymulate CART enables security teams to maximize their impact.
