Case Study: Red Teaming at an Insurance Company

Our client, a top insurance company in the Netherlands, wants to keep up with ever-changing cyber threats. The Security Officers recognize that standard penetration tests aren't covering all the cyber risks.

The Challenge: How to test cyber resilience

The insurance company wants an integrated approach to find weak spots in the cyber security. The organization decides to do a simulated 'real-life' attack with Secura's Red Teaming Assessment.

The Approach: A simulated attack

Together with the insurance company's security team, we perform a Red Teaming Assessment to deeply check the insurance company's cybersecurity. These are the steps:

01

Develop Real-Life Scenarios

We create realistic attack scenarios that insurance companies likely face.

02

Use the Unified Cyber Kill Chain

Our tests go through all stages of a real cyber attack, as described in the Unified Cyber Kill Chain. We check every part carefully.

03

Discover the Weak Spots

We discover new ways hackers could get to the company's most important data.

04

Work Closely with the Insurance Company's Security Team

We use the MITRE ATT&CK framework and worked with the company's security team.

05

Plan Next Steps

After finding weak spots, we provide the insurance company with a plan to mitigate the risks.

06

Improve SIEM (Security Incident and Event Management)

We help the company add new use cases to the Security Incident and Event Management platform (SIEM). This improves threat detection.

07

Train Staff

We train employees of the insurance company to spot phishing emails, a common way hackers get in.

08

Tabletop Cyber Crisis Management Workshop

We run a Tabletop Cyber Crisis Management Workshop to see how well the insurance company handles a real cybersecurity attack.
