After gathering intelligence during reconnaissance, attackers move to the weaponisation phase of the Cyber Kill Chain. In this stage, they convert the information they’ve collected into a malicious payload, preparing to exploit vulnerabilities and infiltrate their target. Weaponisation often involves creating malware, phishing links, or custom exploits designed to evade detection and bypass defences. This…
Cyberattacks don’t happen by chance; they are often the result of careful planning and precise execution. The first step in this process is reconnaissance, where attackers gather information about their target. This stage is crucial as it sets the foundation for the entire attack. By identifying vulnerabilities, understanding infrastructure layouts, and profiling employees, attackers craft…
The ways in which organisations protect their data and resources has significantly changed over the last few years. Attackers are no longer relying on straightforward techniques but instead deploy advanced methods, combining automation, social engineering, and exploitation of vulnerabilities to achieve their goals. To counter these threats effectively, organisations need a robust security strategy that…
The White Team is critical for organisations seeking to maintain regulatory adherence and robust data governance. Syscomm’s White Team ensures that all cybersecurity practices meet the stringent requirements of regulations such as GDPR, ISO standards, and other industry-specific mandates. This includes auditing security policies, reviewing compliance frameworks, and identifying gaps that could expose the organisation…
The Yellow Team plays a pivotal role in ensuring that security is embedded at every stage of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). In today’s fast-paced development environments, the traditional approach of addressing security late in the development process can expose applications to risks and vulnerabilities. Syscomm’s Yellow Team adopts a DevSecOps approach, integrating security practices…
The Orange Team focuses on the human element of cybersecurity, improving user behaviour and awareness to reduce the risk of breaches. Even with the most sophisticated security tools in place, an organisation remains vulnerable if its employees are not adequately trained to recognise and respond to cyber threats. Syscomm’s Orange Team offers a holistic approach…
The Green Team is responsible for creating a resilient and secure IT infrastructure, ensuring that all systems, networks, and security tools are configured to protect against cyber threats from the outset. While Red and Blue Teams focus on identifying vulnerabilities and defending against attacks, the Green Team ensures that the foundation of an organisation’s security…
A Purple Team combines the offensive capabilities of the Red Team with the defensive strength of the Blue Team, ensuring that both sides collaborate to improve an organisation’s overall security posture. The goal of Purple Teaming is to close the gap between how attackers exploit vulnerabilities and how defenders can better detect and prevent those…
A Red Team plays a crucial role in cybersecurity by simulating real-world attacks on an organisation’s defences to identify vulnerabilities. The Red Team adopts the mindset of an attacker, using offensive tactics such as penetration testing and social engineering to uncover weaknesses in networks, applications, and systems. The goal is to stress-test the security infrastructure…
A Blue Team is a cybersecurity defence group responsible for protecting an organisation’s infrastructure against cyber threats. Their primary role involves continuous monitoring, threat detection, and incident response to prevent malicious actors from compromising the organisation’s systems. Blue Teams are proactive, aiming to identify vulnerabilities and neutralise threats before they cause damage. They use various…
