Understanding and Mitigating Modern Cyber Threats with Cyderes' Breach & Attack Simulation

In today's digital landscape, organizations face a wide range of adversaries. To stay ahead of these evolving threats, businesses must adopt a proactive approach to cybersecurity.

Cyderes’ Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS) team brings unmatched expertise in adversarial simulation, combining cutting-edge technology with psychological insights to emulate the mindset of real attackers. This approach enables our team to replicate the most dangerous and relevant threats to your organization, delivering tailored solutions and recommendations for optimal defense.

Many security assessments are limited by scope and conventional testing techniques, often leaving gaps that real-world adversaries can exploit. Cyderes takes a different approach. By leveraging the MITRE ATT&CK framework from the perspective of adversaries most likely to target your organization, our BAS team rigorously simulates attack techniques designed to expose weaknesses in your security posture.

Each simulation provides detailed insights, correlating findings to a MITRE heat map, giving clients a clear visual representation of areas requiring immediate attention. For even greater protection, Cyderes’ Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service can work in tandem with BAS, adding another layer of defense.

Cyderes’ Offensive Security team utilizes a combination of external and internal agents to simulate the entire “kill chain” – from reconnaissance to impact. If internal agents are deployed within your environment, they can be strategically placed across different networks to thoroughly evaluate your security posture. Simulations can be tailored to focus on specific defensive technologies or run as a complete “stack” to assess detection, alerting, and response capabilities in real-time.

Results from the BAS simulations are categorized and mapped against the MITRE ATT&CK framework, aligning with known threat actors and behavior types. These findings are further classified according to NIST 800-53 domains, ensuring compliance with industry standards. Based on this rigorous analysis, Cyderes provides clear mitigation steps and recommendations for optimized detection and response. These are delivered through Sigma rules or configuration settings to strengthen your defenses moving forward.

By simulating real-world threats and providing actionable insights, Cyderes' BAS team empowers organizations to evolve their security strategies and stay one step ahead of adversaries.
