Cortida Objective Led Testing (COLT)

Cortida Objective Led Testing (COLT) looks to replicate how cyber threats chain together both technical & operational vulnerabilities to achieve their objectives in your network. The exercise is delivered through a combination of workshops and pre agreed technical testing, engaging the customer's employees in the journey, avoiding adversarial situations that red team activity often creates.

The format of the engagement allows what would otherwise be a large, expensive and logistically intensive project to be delivered in bite sized engagements, reducing enterprise risk management concerns and increasing flexibility. The customer is in control, ensuring testing focuses on pathways that matter most to them, avoiding testing areas of known weakness.

The findings of COLT are used to identify control gaps, define custom rules for identification of attacker behaviours and to empower incident response scenarios to link live attacker actions with their potential next steps. The output is highly visual, ideal for bringing cyber security information to non-infosec audiences, ensuring future cyber security initiatives can communicate their value across the business.

COLT addresses questions such as:

• How does my external attack surface compare to similar companies?
• What services and networks are interconnected that we did not know about?
• How can I break red team activity down into a more affordable proposition?
• How can I engage my blue team to think like attackers?
• How can I extend the cyber security message into new areas of the business?
