Home Services Attack Simulations APT Simulations

Is your organization ready to face the most sophisticated and persistent cyber attacks? Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are coordinated, sustained operations by cybercriminals, often state-sponsored or organized groups that target specific companies and institutions. At Elementrica, we offer APT simulations that reflect these sophisticated adversaries' actual techniques and tactics. Our APT simulations are not just technical tests but a comprehensive approach that includes analysis of your organization's procedures, processes and responses to targeted attacks. We use the latest information on the activities of APT groups to create scenarios that thoroughly test your ability to detect, respond to and neutralize such threats. This allows you to identify non-obvious vulnerabilities and make improvements that will significantly enhance your organization's security.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you want to know about APT Simulations

What are APT simulations and how do they differ from traditional penetration tests?

APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) simulations are advanced security tests that replicate real-world techniques and tactics used by highly sophisticated adversaries, such as hacker groups or state-sponsored organizations. Unlike traditional penetration tests, which focus on identifying known vulnerabilities in systems and applications, APT simulations focus on sustained, targeted attacks against specific organisational targets. The goal is to assess a company's ability to detect, respond to and neutralize advanced threats that may not be detected by standard testing methods.

How can APT simulations help improve our organization's security?

APT simulations allow you to identify non-obvious weaknesses in your organization's security, processes and procedures. By simulating actual attacks from advanced adversaries, you can assess the effectiveness of your security incident detection and response mechanisms. This enables you to implement targeted corrective actions, increase employee awareness and strengthen the overall security posture of your company. With APT simulations, you can prepare for the most sophisticated threats and minimize the risk of serious incidents.

What techniques and attack methods are used during APT simulations?

During APT simulations, we use a wide range of techniques and methods real adversaries use. These include social engineering attacks, such as phishing and spear phishing, one-day vulnerability exploitation, lateral movement in the network, privilege escalation, presence concealment (persistence) and data exfiltration. We also use techniques to avoid detection by security systems. The goal is to create a realistic attack scenario that reflects the activities of advanced hacking groups.

What is the process for simulating APT attacks?

The process begins with detailed planning and understanding of your organization's specifics, including identifying critical assets and potential attack vectors. We then develop attack scenarios based on up-to-date information about the activities of APT groups. In the execution phase, we simulate attacks while monitoring the response of systems and security teams. Upon completion, we prepare a detailed report that includes detected vulnerabilities, an analysis of the organization's response, and recommendations for strengthening security.

Will APT simulations affect the operation of our systems and services?

APT simulations are conducted in a way that minimizes the risk of disruption to your systems and services. Our team carefully plans all activities and coordinates them with your organization to avoid any negative impact on business operations. For simulations that may affect the availability of systems, we agree in advance with the relevant people in your company. Security and business continuity are our top priorities.

How do you ensure the confidentiality and security of our data during and after an APT simulation?

The security and confidentiality of our clients' data is an absolute priority for us. We sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) prior to the start of the simulation to protect any information obtained during the collaboration. We follow strict security procedures, including data encryption, access control and activity monitoring. Upon completion of the simulation, all collected data is securely deleted or transferred to you by established policies. Our operations comply with applicable data protection regulations, such as RODO.

Will APT simulations help us meet regulatory requirements and security standards such as NIS2 or DORA?

Yes, APT simulations can help meet regulatory requirements and security standards such as NIS2, DORA or ISO 27001. Conducting regular and advanced security testing is often a requirement or recommended practice under these regulations. The results of APT simulations provide evidence of proactive risk management and can be used in compliance audits.

What are the costs associated with simulating APT attacks?

The cost of an APT simulation depends on many factors, such as the scope and duration of the project, the complexity of the infrastructure, the number of systems involved, and your organization's specific requirements. After an initial consultation, we will prepare a personalized offer tailored to your needs and budget. Investing in APT simulations translates into real benefits, such as increased security and preparedness for the most advanced threats.
