FIL from the Red Team is an international security expert in cybersecurity. A RED TEAM challenges your company or organisation. With purpose. And with your consent: the only goal is to increase your security. They help business owners and security managers identify what risks are hidden in every aspect of their business model and offer concrete solutions – to sustainably protect your corporate assets.

FIL Red Team Lecture topics

• The Enemy inside. Social Engineering – The enemy inside you
• Cybersecurity is just the beginning – Olympic Games and Pandora’s Box
• The Dark Side of IoT – The Power of Things
• Social Engineering – Reality or Fiction?

The RED TEAM approach offers a modern method of risk analysis that can quickly and agilely adapt to the actual methods of globally operating adversaries. This is because attackers rarely focus on just one area of the organisation to achieve their goal; instead, all possible avenues are explored, including digital, physical and social attacks. During an exercise, our RED TEAM will conduct an unannounced attack on your business or organisation, probing and testing every possible aspect of the target to uncover potential risks.

In addition, FIL and its team also provide alternative and adversarial analysis of existing plans, operational orders and tactical decisions. Like a potential adversary, experts thereby identify patterns that can lead to weaknesses in the strategy. They show alternative ways to break existing patterns. These exercises challenge and optimise decision-making by questioning previously established plans and policies.

FIL and its RED TEAM challenge existing notions of security. They deliberately break into digital networks, as well as your organisation’s physical spaces and communication systems, to expose vulnerabilities. They also provide training and education that is adapted and tailored to all levels of your organisation. This involves all levels of the company: TOP management, decision-makers, all employees, right down to your internal and external security guards.

A RED TEAM is a thinking and highly adaptive adversary. An adversarial approach – applied to “modern digital warfare” that companies and organisations face today.

Identity(s): Unknown
In modern times, companies, banks and organisations invest a lot of money to protect corporate assets and data. Modern firewalls, virus protection programmes, encryption etc. are supposed to protect against system failures, industrial espionage and data theft nowadays.

But is that enough? Are concepts, checklists or emergency plans based on past experience or created by someone at some point sufficient? What resources do you invest to protect your company and its most sensitive assets and justify customer trust?

In his talk, FIL will reveal the secret of how he and his RED TEAM uncover the most serious security vulnerabilities in systems. He will report on concrete cases from your industry, reveal vulnerabilities and show ways in which you yourself can optimise your security in a relevant way. Because even if you think you know all the security gaps in your hardware and software and have possibly already secured them – you will be surprised where there are vulnerable points. And with what simple ideas instead of many resources your data security can be achieved. At the same time, he will not reveal his own identity in order not to jeopardise the work of his team and the sustainable security of his customers.

In a modern world, Red Teams are the answer to complex security structures in medium-sized and large companies. Because not everything is always as it really seems.

Background:

FIL is a member of a Red Team that conducts audits for organisations and commercial enterprises of their security concepts, working undercover.

From an early age, the experienced entrepreneur, judge of character and close combat expert is also fascinated by the virtual world. He not only learns the deep structures of programming languages, but also deals creatively and at the same time meticulously with the interaction of technology, strategy and EDP. He soon realises what possibilities, but also dangers, this holds. This leads the gentleman hacker to deal intensively with unconventional strategies, tactics and also military concepts. His internal knowledge of corporate processes and experience, combined with cool strategy on the one hand and a sense of adventure on the other, makes him an ideal Red Teamer.

FIL and its RED TEAM provide services around red teaming and digital strategy leadership for governments, law enforcement agencies, corporations and public as well as private organisations. All RED TEAMS consist of experts from all areas of digital and physical security with many years of practical experience. They bring expertise from fields as diverse as military, intelligence, high-tech, martial arts, academic research or entrepreneurship. But they all have one thing in common: they can think like their adversary and thus anticipate the proverbial ‘evil’.
