Red Teaming

Red Teaming is a concept of conducting a check of current security practices and infrastructure utilizing the techniques most likely to be employed by the current determined local threat or terrorist entity.

At CSI we employ two types of Red Teaming techniques.  We term these two techniques as passive and penetrative.   Passive Red Teaming involves our team assessing your structural vulnerability through those techniques most likely to be utilized by terrorist to test and analyze your security systems for weaknesses to see if you are a viable target. While we do not divulge our methods of operation, we can assure you that if there are weaknesses in your security measures, we will find them. Penetrative Red Teaming calls for our Teams to actually penetrate your facility and infrastructure.  While this technique is intrusive, it is extremely effective in exposing your systems weaknesses.  Implementation of this technique requires special planning and coordination with management and all particulars are covered in depth before employment.  Usually we find that passive Red Teaming is sufficient for the majority of our clients, however, some of our clients in critical industries have requested a more aggressive approach.

Our Red Team members are all highly qualified specialist with either prior experience in special operations or intelligence fields with world wide experience.  Our Red Team members have conducted exercises on facilities ranging from Nuclear Facilities and water treatment plants to oil platforms and port facilities.
