We provide companies with far-reaching advice on protecting employees, technology, property and (customer) data. We do this by deploying the best security experts, digital commuters and professionals with a background in special units within the police, security services and defence. Our motto is 'prevention is better than cure'. If an emergency does occur, we are available 24/7 and can be deployed immediately.
- Robert Mueller, FBI Director
Companies and institutions are increasingly a lucrative prey for (international) criminal organisations. More than 90% of the security assignments for large companies and SMEs consist of preventing physical threats as well as digital attacks. With a Red Team we form an independent group that 'attacks' your organisation to test how well your company is secured and where possible 'leaks' can be found. We also engage 'ethical hackers' for this purpose. Such a simulation is carried out very carefully and discreetly.
Red Teaming is a full-scale attack simulation to measure how well a company's people, networks, applications and physical security controls can withstand an attack from a 'real' adversary. A thorough test uncovers vulnerabilities and risks related to, among others:
A special blue team formed by us, consisting of employees of the organisation under attack, should detect and stop the attack. We also set up a white team with a number of employees from the organisation who know about the attack. We report the vulnerabilities of your organisation with concrete improvement measures. We also train MTs and critical departments to prevent and avert attacks.
Almost all security issues have a digital component. That is why it is impossible to imagine modern fraud prevention, risk assessment, recruitment & selection, threats and security without digital detection or investigation (OSINT). The Internet contains an untold amount of data. By using Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), we can retrieve data that is important for research. For example, social networks can be visualised, news reports can be collected and analysed and insight can be gained into publications on various forums. Judicial decisions, reports of hearings or the financial backgrounds of individuals and companies can also be retrieved easily nowadays. This does not always have to be in the form of written text. (Digital) photos, video and audio fragments can also contain crucial information that can be used to effectively combat criminal activities, such as fraud or scams, to maintain public order or to ensure corporate security. We have specific knowledge to collect data from the Internet and to interpret it.
