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 cont
