Service Overview

Red Team Engagement

MegaplanIT will test scenarios that mimic current and emerging attack tactics and techniques within the MITRE framework so that you stress your controls and identify gaps in existing monitoring controls including any internal staffing coverage or tool deficiencies. Scenarios tested will represent a post-breach scenario of an attack, allowing you to understand your ultimate exposure and prioritize your resources effectively to fix all misconfigurations and close all identified gaps.

Key Benefits

Red Team Engagement

Test defenses against emerging attack methods

Simulated attacks based on real-world adversary behavior provide a comprehensive evaluation of your environment’s ability to withstand current threats and adapt to new, evolving tactics. This ensures your security posture remains resilient against today’s advanced threat landscape—not just legacy attack patterns.

 

Red team operations expose weaknesses in monitoring, detection, and alerting that may go unnoticed during traditional assessments. By challenging assumed security coverage, organizations gain clarity on where malicious activity can slip through undetected, helping prioritize improvements in threat detection and SOC workflows.

 

Validate whether systems, applications, and network environments are properly configured to resist intrusion and abuse. This includes confirming access controls, segmentation, encryption, and hardening measures are implemented and functioning as intended—reducing the attack surface and strengthening your security baseline.

Red team engagements demonstrate, in concrete terms, how different threat actors could move through your environment—what they can access, where they might be detected, and how quickly they could be stopped. This helps security teams visualize potential breach paths and assess the effectiveness of incident response processes.

Rather than relying on assumptions about security tools and controls, red teaming offers measurable insight into what’s truly working and what isn’t. You’ll know which controls are detecting, preventing, or delaying attackers—and which are being bypassed entirely—enabling smarter investments and adjustments.

Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) in the payment card industry involves deploying a recognized solution by the PCI council, where hardware, processes, and technology undergo rigorous testing against the current P2PE Standard v3.1 or earlier versions. The P2PE standard combines a recognized and certified PTS device with software and encryption methods to allow cardholder data to be encrypted upon swipe and transmitted encrypted throughout the merchant environment until decrypted within a decryption environment, inaccessible to the merchant.
In today’s rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, achieving and maintaining PCI compliance is more critical than ever. With the latest update to PCI DSS 4.0.1, businesses must adapt to meet new standards designed to enhance security and flexibility. This updated PCI Compliance Checklist outlines the essential steps for staying compliant while optimizing your organization’s security posture.
As with many things in popular culture, the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) has many myths associated with it. The PCI DSS has existed for many years and despite the efforts of the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) and industry experts, many misconceptions and myths persist. Below we will cover some common PCI DSS myths vs. the reality.
The PCI DSS standard is largely responsible for dictating the way organizations all over the world approach cybersecurity and the protection of credit card data. As v4.0 of the standard approaches, organizations should aim to identify and plan updates for the aspects of their security and compliance programs that are most likely to be affected.
Employees of companies of all sizes are now either required to shelter in place or State and Government lock-downs are forcing companies to require their employees to work remotely. How will this impact your PCI-DSS Compliance?
