Simulated Attacks

Do you want to know how resilient you are to a hacker attack?

Leverage the long-term experience of our ethical hackers and allow them to simulate an attack on your systems, searching for security vulnerabilities that could lead to the leakage of sensitive information if exploited.

Penetration Testing

We will conduct a pre-planned attack during which we will look for vulnerabilities that could compromise the security of your systems and damage your company's reputation. Get a Citadelo penetration test certificate for your clients and partners.

Penetration testing is a simulation of a real cyber attack on systems in order to detect their vulnerabilities and identify potential risks and their impacts. Our ethical hackers conduct systematic tests to uncover weaknesses before real attackers can exploit them. This process provides you with key information about security shortcomings and helps you prepare for actual attacks and minimize risks. Penetration tests allow organizations to strengthen their cyber defenses and protect their data, customers and reputation.

Investing in regular penetration tests is a crucial step in ensuring the security and credibility of your organization in today's digital age.

The penetration test process begins with planning, where the objectives, scope, and methodology are established. This is followed by the information collection phase, where relevant data on the tested environment and systems are obtained. Ethical hackers then perform active scanning and vulnerability analysis to identify possible weaknesses and deficiencies. This is followed by the simulated attack phase, during which ethical Citadelo hackers attempt to exploit the identified vulnerabilities using constantly evolving techniques and procedures. 

Finally, a detailed final report is prepared, containing descriptions of the found vulnerabilities, recommendations for their remediation, and measures to mitigate risks.

The price range of penetration tests may vary depending on the scope and complexity of your requirements. It usually starts from higher hundreds of euros for basic automated tests and can reach higher thousands of euros for more complex, extensive and manual tests. The exact price is determined individually after consultation and evaluation of your needs.

Red Teaming

Red Teaming is the best way to prepare for a real attack before it actually happens. It is the most accurate simulation of a real and complex hacking attack from all directions. It combines physical penetration, attacks on the human factor, and IT infrastructure.

How Does it Work?

Red Teaming is a simulated attack that combines the OSINT phase, which involves gathering information about your company and employees from public and non-public sources and leaked databases of sensitive data. This is followed by the attack phase on the human factor, as preparation for the physical penetration phase into buildings with the aim of, for example, taking full control of the IT infrastructure. We test not only your systems but also the entire infrastructure, your employees, and company processes. We also test the reactions and processes of the Blue Team if it is present in your company.

Results

After completing the Red Team exercise, you will receive a comprehensive overview of your company's security status, which will help you prepare for a real attack and comply with standards such as NIS2, DORA, or the Cybersecurity Act.

Social Engineering

The human factor has been, is, and will continue to be the most common attack vector in corporate cybersecurity. Social engineering is an ethical hacking technique in which we use psychological tricks and manipulation of human behaviour to obtain sensitive information or perform unauthorized actions.

01

Vishing

This technique uses voice communication to call victims and convince them to provide sensitive information or perform a requested action, often under the guise of an urgent situation or trusted authority. We also use phone number spoofing technology for higher campaign success rates.

02

Phishing

Ethical hackers pose as trustworthy individuals or organizations and request sensitive information from users, such as passwords or payment details, often through fraudulent emails or websites.

03

Smishing

Smishing attacks are conducted through messages,such as SMS or communicators (Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.) to persuade the victim to perform a malicious act or provide sensitive data.
