| Titre | Bridging the Gap: Elevating Red Team Assessments with Application Security Testing |
| Texte | Written by: Ilyass El Hadi, Louis Dion-Marcil, Charles Prevost
Executive Summary Whether through a comprehensive Red Team engagement or a targeted external assessment, incorporating application security (AppSec) expertise enables organizations to better simulate the tactics and techniques of modern adversaries. This includes: Leveraging minimal access for maximum impact: There is no need for high privilege escalation. Red Team objectives can often be achieved with limited access, highlighting the importance of securing all internet-facing assets. Recognizing the potential of low-impact vulnerabilities through vulnerability chaining: Low- and medium-impact vulnerabilities can be exploited in combination to achieve significant impact. Developing your own exploits: Skilled adversaries or consultants will invest the time and resources to reverse-engineer and/or find zero-day vulnerabilities in the absence of public proof-of-concept exploits. Employing diverse skill sets: Red Team members should include individuals with a wide range of expertise, including AppSec. Fostering collaboration: Combining diverse skill sets can spark creativity and lead to more effective attack simulations. Integrating AppSec throughout the engagement: Offensive application security contributions can benefit Red Teams at every stage of the project. By embracing this approach, organizations can proactively defend against a constantly evolving threat landscape, ensuring a more robust and resilient security posture. Introduction In today\'s rapidly evolving threat landscape, organizations find themselves engaged in an ongoing arms race against increasingly sophisticated cyber criminals and nation-state actors. To stay ahead of these adversaries, many organizations turn to Red Team assessments, simulating real-world attacks to expose vulnerabilities before they are exploited. However, many traditional Red Team assessments typically prioritize attacking network and infrastructure components, often overlooking a critical aspect of modern attack surfaces: web applications. This gap hasn\'t gone unnoticed by cyber criminals. In recent years, industry reports consistently highlight the evolving trend of attackers exploiting public-facing application vulnerabilities as a primary entry point into organizations. This aligns with Mandiant\'s observations of common tactics used by threat actors, as observed in our 2024 M-Trends Report |
