Security Assessment Services

SECURITY ASSESSMENT SERVICES

CDT will enhance your security stance at any point by assessing and evaluating your current system. In the event of a prior security breach, CDT will examine and dissect digital evidence, offering potential solutions for mitigation.

SECURITY TESTING
AND EXPLOITATION

 

CDT evaluates the security posture of software applications to identify and rectify vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited. Our primary goal is to ensure that software applications are resistant to unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security threats.

CDT aims to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and weaknesses in the various components that make up an organization’s IT infrastructure, including servers, networks, devices, and associated services.

Cloud security testing is specifically focused on the security challenges that arise when organizations use cloud computing environments to host, store, and process their data and applications. It aims to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and services within the cloud environment.

CDT simulates real-world attack scenarios to assess the effectiveness of security controls, encryption mechanisms, and access controls within a wireless network environment. We use specialized tools and techniques, including wireless network scanners, packet sniffers, and attack frameworks.

CDT conducts controlled  evaluations of an organization’s susceptibility to various social engineering attacks by simulating real-world social engineering attempts. We look to assess how well the employees and systems respond to these threats.

CDT engineers analyze the internal workings of software applications, firmware, hardware, or other digital artifacts in order to uncover the functionality. Our teams examine code, protocols, and configurations to uncover flaws that could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, or other security breaches.

CDT examines the source code of a software application to identify security vulnerabilities, coding errors, and potential weaknesses. To mitigate this CDT will write code in a way that prioritizes security by following best practices, adhering to coding standards, and implementing security controls.

CDT also examines malicious software to understand its behavior, functionality, origin, and potential impact. We look to gain insights into how malware operates, its purpose, and its potential threat to systems, networks, and users.

If your organization is affected by a cybersecurity incident, CDT will collect, preserve, analyze, and present digital evidence to support legal investigations and cybersecurity incident response. We examinine digital devices, networks, and data to uncover evidence of cybercrimes, unauthorized activities, or security breaches. Our team will detect, contain, eradicate, and assist your organization in recovering from a security incident. We will attempt to restore normal operations while also preventing future incidents.

RED, BLUE, AND PURPLE TEAM EXERCISES

In-depth penetration testing is a highly detailed and thorough approach to assessing the security of your organization’s systems, applications, and networks. CDT goes beyond the basic assessments of vulnerabilities and focuses on simulating real-world attack scenarios. We look to uncover potential risks and weaknesses that might not be evident through standard testing methods.

Remote penetration testing focuses on assessing the security of an organization’s external-facing systems. CDT will identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that malicious actors could exploit to gain unauthorized access, compromise sensitive data, or disrupt services from outside your organization’s network.

During on-premise penetration testing, CDT will simulate real-world cyberattacks on an organization’s infrastructure from within the organization’s physical premises or network environment. CDT will simulate different attack scenarios, attempting to exploit vulnerabilities in order to gain unauthorized access to systems, escalate privileges, and assess the potential impact of successful attacks.

External threat simulation involves simulating real-world attack scenarios from external adversaries to evaluate an organization’s readiness to defend against external threats. CDT aims to identify vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and potential attack vectors that malicious actors might exploit to breach an organization’s defenses, compromise systems, and steal sensitive data.

Insider threat simulation focuses on assessing your organization’s defenses against potential threats originating from within the organization itself. CDT will simulate the actions and behaviors of insider threats, such as employees, contractors, or business partners, to evaluate how well an organization can detect and respond to internal security risks.

CDT uses Atomic Red Team™, Caldera™, and Prelude Operator, all scalable, automated adversary emulation platforms, to assist security professionals in evaluating the effectiveness of their endpoint security solutions. When using these tools, CDT is able to design simulated real-world attack techniques, tactics, and procedures (TTPs) used by adversaries to compromise systems. The tests are mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK® framework, which is a widely used knowledge base for understanding the actions and behaviors of cyber adversaries. By leveraging these tools, our team is able to run tests in any controlled environment. We can determine whether security controls can detect, prevent, or respond to specific attack scenarios effectively and efficiently. Our goal is to identify gaps related to our customer’s security posture and improve our customer’s overall resilience against attacks.

COMPREHENSIVE
REPORTING

CDT connects real-world incidents, observations, and data from security tools and logs to the relevant entries in the MITRE ATT&CK matrix. This process helps us better comprehend the tactics and techniques used by adversaries and improve our threat detection, response, and mitigation capabilities.

CDT uses the MITRE ATT&CK framework of tactics, techniques, and procedures that adversaries use during different stages of a cyber attack. This method provides a structured and comprehensive model for understanding and categorizing these elements.

CDT examines and assesses various aspects of an organization’s digital environment to identify, evaluate, and mitigate potential security risks and threats. We develop and provide reports from our analyses which may include further requirements or mitigation strategies.

CDT can provide our clients with a secure online platform that enables our customers to access information, services, resources, and tools that we provide.

CDT will make a security vulnerability known to the organization while it is currently impacting a system or network and has not yet been fixed or addressed.

CDT conducts control assessments for various networks, where we assess and validate the efficiency of security controls, policies, and practices implemented within a network environment. These evaluations confirm that the network’s security measures are operating as planned, offering sufficient protection to sensitive data, systems, and resources against unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security risks.

CDT formulates a structured strategy or method to tackle and alleviate vulnerabilities found in IT systems, applications, networks, and other technological assets. This aims to effectively manage and diminish the risks linked to the identified vulnerabilities.
