Assessment

Strengthen Your Cyber Security with Our Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) Services 

Ensuring that all those network / security devices that was bought by your organization is actually working for you.

Cyber Attack Assessment is a service to ensure that all those network / security devices that were bought by your organisation are actually working for you. The objective of this assessment is to simulate a real-world cyber attack on an organisation’s infrastructure and see how the network and security devices are reacting to it. Is it able to block the attacks or is there any tweaks to be done on the configuration types to block these attacks? Does your Next Gen Firewall, Web Application Firewall, Intrustion Prevention / Detection Systems are working as they supposed to? These answers can be obtained if these assessments are performed.

Breach Response Services for Fast Detection, Containment and Recovery

When an organisation experiences a cyber breach, rapid action is critical. At FIRMUS, our Breach Response Services help businesses quickly identify the root cause, contain the attack, and restore normal operations with minimal downtime. Our team uses real-world attack simulation insights from BAS assessments to strengthen your incident response, ensuring you can react effectively during an actual breach.

Below are the types of attacks that FIRMUS penetration testing could perform and that can be customised for each client depending on the environment and type of devices they have.

BREACH AND ATTACK SIMULATION (BAS) FAQS 

Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) is a cutting-edge method used to test the effectiveness of IT security programs by simulating real-world cyber attacks. BAS solutions mimic various attack actions to evaluate an organization’s security posture and identify vulnerabilities. 

Breach and Attack Simulation works by conducting continuous, automated attack simulations that test the integrity of potential attack pathways within an organization’s network. These simulations help in validating security controls, detecting vulnerabilities, and providing actionable insights to enhance cybersecurity defenses. 

BAS tools aim to address critical cybersecurity challenges by providing organizations with a proactive approach to assess the effectiveness of their security programs. These tools help in identifying security gaps, validating security controls, and ensuring that organizations can withstand sophisticated cyber threats. 

There are three main types of BAS solutions: 

Agent-based BAS solutions: Deploy agents across the LAN to identify vulnerabilities and assess potential attack routes. 

BAS solutions based on “malicious” traffic: Generate intrusive traffic within the network to evaluate event detection and blocking capabilities. 

Cloud-based BAS solutions: Simulate multi-vector attacks from outside the network perimeter, leveraging the latest threat intelligence for up-to-date testing. 

Breach and Attack Simulation offers several benefits to organizations, including: 

Continuous validation of security control effectiveness. 

Realistic testing of security architecture to reduce exposure risk. 

Mitigation guidance to remediate vulnerabilities and enhance security posture. 

Automation for scheduled and on-demand testing. 

Identification of exposure to the latest active threats. 

Breach and Attack Simulation differs from traditional security assessments like vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and Red Teaming by providing a more sophisticated and automated evaluation of an organization’s security defenses. BAS focuses on continuous testing, validation, and mitigation guidance to improve overall security posture. 

Breach Response Services help organisations quickly detect, contain, and recover from cyber incidents through incident triage, investigation, containment, and remediation. 

Response times depend on the severity of the incident, but our team is equipped to provide rapid triage and support to minimise damage.

They are closely related. Breach Response focuses on handling active incidents, while Incident Response includes broader processes such as planning, preparation, and post-incident improvements.
