Our Simulation Approach
Preparation & Planning
At Secureroot, we begin by defining clear objectives for the breach simulation, focusing on testing breach detection, response accuracy, and team coordination. We then establish rules of engagement and clarify the simulated environments to ensure that all scenarios are realistic and aligned with your business’s security goals.
Controlled Execution
During the simulation, we at SecureRoot deploy industry-standard breach techniques in a safe, controlled environment. Our expert team closely monitors the situation, capturing both system responses and personnel actions throughout the event, ensuring a thorough assessment of how well your organization handles the breach.
Performance Analysis
Once the simulation is complete, we carefully analyze the performance of your defenses. This includes evaluating detection delays, response time, and escalation effectiveness. We identify any misconfigurations or risky behaviors that could compromise security, providing valuable insights into areas that need improvement.
Actionable Reporting
Once we are done analyzing, we put our findings into a customer-understanding report. This report identifies major vulnerabilities, mistakes, and gives a strategic action plan for building your breach defenses. We ensure that all stakeholders—both technical and executive—receive the information necessary to take informed action.
Stages of a Breach Attack
Initial Compromise
Adversaries gain a foothold through phishing, malware, or other exploitation methods.
Reconnaissance
Attackers probe the environment to gather intel about systems, users, and potential vulnerabilities.
Access Escalation
Techniques are used to elevate privileges and gain broader control over the environment.
Lateral Movement
The threat actor moves through the network to identify critical systems and sensitive data.
Data Collection & Exfiltration
Collected data is staged and transmitted to attacker-controlled destinations.
