Red Team - incident response assessment

A European fintech company approached H-X Technologies with a request for a Red Team assessment. The client already had basic protections in place: MFA for most users, EDR on workstations, SIEM, regular vulnerability scans and annual penetration tests. However, management wanted to understand not only the presence of individual vulnerabilities, but also the company's actual ability to detect, stop, and investigate a targeted attack.

The most important result of the audit was not the number of vulnerabilities, but the confirmation of three realistic attack paths that could lead to a significant business impact: access through weak isolation of the development environment, excessive rights in CI/CD, and insufficient visibility in detection and response.

Three months after the main Red Team Assessment, we conducted an inspection to eliminate deficiencies in the customer's company.

The H-X Red Team Assessment found that even a company with a robust cybersecurity program can have hidden attack paths between development, cloud, and CI/CD. Through a controlled attack simulation, the client received a clear picture of the real risks, a prioritized remediation plan and a measurable improvement in detection and response.

For fintech companies, SaaS platforms, Web3 projects, critical infrastructure and technology businesses, the Red Team assessment is not just a technical check, but a tool for making management decisions about real cyber risks.
