The digital threat landscape will never slow down, nor can your infrastructure and applications. Effective technical security audit and testing has become essential part of cyber transformation to ensure security risks are proactively addressed without compromise.
As a pure-play Cybersecurity advisory firm, Forecight has developed a leading testing and validation practice to mitigate cyber exposure without disruption to operations.
Challenge
Despite ongoing investment in leading cybersecurity technologies, enterprises are under constant threat of cyberattacks. Ensuring Cybersecurity is becoming tougher every year as cyber-criminals perform new attacks, exploit new vulnerabilities, and execute new attacks constantly; while regulatory bodies evolve and complicate standards.
Identifying vulnerabilities requires more than simply running a scan of IT environment to stop today’s sophisticated attacks. It is one thing to identify that a vulnerability exists, but it is something completely different to be able to exploit that vulnerability and see how far you can penetrate into the network and systems.
Engagement
To truly protect corporate environment, organizations need to know which adversaries are more likely to target your organization so you can mimic their advanced tactics to better test your defenses.
Forecight’s technical security services will simulate a real-world cyberattack to proactively examine your people, processes, technology and compliance obligations. By simulating an enterprise’s security controls under the similar evolving industry specific threat vectors, we will work with your team to seamlessly exploit known and unknown vulnerabilities.
Each technical audit engagement is designed to meet the specific goals and threat profile of an organization. Some of most common types of penetration tests delivered by our certified team.

Teaming Methodology & Types
Teaming methodology supports organizations to their cybersecurity credentials focused on gauging the effectiveness of responses to threats and weaknesses. Teaming penetration testing are designed to improve an organization’s ability to protect itself quickly and effectively in
- Red teams – Externally based to examine the effectiveness of existing security infrastructure similar to a manual penetration test targeting isolated issues and not the entire corporate environment at once.
- Blue teams – Tests in-house corporate security teams to be alerted and ensure rapid and quality responses to sudden cyberthreats.
- Purple teams – Joint effort for red and blue teams to form a cohesive unit to improve cybersecurity responses to provide greater information and observation on potential cyberthreats.
Framework
Technical audit focuses on global data breaches and threat groups most active within your targeted industry vertical. By emulating the same tools, tactics and procedures leveraged by threat groups, our certified consultants simulate the same techniques against your environment and test security team’s ability to detect and respond to industry-relevant threats in realistic scenarios.

Technical Security Audit Services
Red Team
Red Team Engagements are highly targeted assessments that aim to compromise critical data assets in your network, leveraging the vast scope an external attacker would have. Unlike a traditional penetration test, in which our security engineers attempt to find and exploit any possible vulnerabilities in a defined scope — such as a corporate environment — these engagements simulate a real-world cyber-attack on your organization.
Blue Team
The blue team is composed of an organization’s in-house cybersecurity team with the objective to alert and ensure rapid and quality responses to sudden cyberthreats. Whether or not the blue team is aware of the exercise, its role is to respond just like the organization would to a real attack. At times, a blue team will be unaware that the company is undergoing a cybersecurity assessment and will believe that the simulated attacks are real-world threats.
Purple Team
Often, the red teams and blue teams in a test operate independently from one another. The objective of the purple team is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the security testing process. By introducing opportunities for feedback and collaboration throughout the testing process, the offensive team can focus their efforts on where they will provide the most benefit, based on feedback from the defenders.
Web & Mobile Application Penetration Testing
Go beyond the OWASP Top 10 with an assessment that pushes the boundaries of application security. We don’t solely scan the application for known bugs. Our security engineers leverage internal research and proprietary technologies to identify deep technical vulnerabilities.
Network Penetration Testing
A technical security assessment that goes beyond standard vulnerability scanning to uncover the risks in your network. Whether external, internal, or Side-channel/Out-of-Band, IoT, OT we outline the network security risks – and business impacts – you need to be aware of.
Secure Code Analysis
Secure code Analysis provides manual and automated processes to examine an application’s source code for vulnerabilities or malicious code. The in-depth DAST, SAST, SCA, and IAST analysis empowers developers, DevOps, and security teams to pinpoint application vulnerabilities for quick remediation in every phase of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
Cloud Penetration Testing
In a cloud Post Exploitation Assessment, the client provides a secured account on their cloud management console to the Forecight cloud security consultants. By enabling this view into specific implementation details, our cloud security experts can provide guidance on security details otherwise inaccessible to attackers.
Social Engineering
Social Engineering isn’t always about the people, sometimes it’s about the technical controls surrounding the process. Whether traditional spear-phishing (emails), vishing (voice calls), or on-site physical assessments, we examine your organizations protection from phishing attacks.
Wireless Penetration Testing
Wi-Fi testing identifies the risks and security vulnerabilities of deployed wireless solutions (e.g., 802.x, Bluetooth, Zigbee, etc.) to better understand how secure data in transit and systems communicate via wireless technology. We assess weaknesses such as de-authentication attacks, configurations, session reuse and unauthorized wireless devices.
