Why Do Enterprises Need AGH-CTR?

Today, organizations deploy various cybersecurity solutions, but are these defenses truly effective?AGH-CTR helps enterprises answer the following critical questions:

1. How can you prove that your current defense architecture can effectively resist known attacks?

2. When a cybersecurity incident occurs, is your team’s response fast enough?

3. Are the installed cybersecurity products performing as expected?

4. Are vendor-managed solutions capable of intercepting modern attack techniques?

AGH-CTR emphasizes ""cyber defense validation,"" complementing traditional red team drills that focus on discovering unknown risks. It helps enterprises continuously validate and improve the actual effectiveness of their existing defense systems.

Validating Existing Cybersecurity Solutions with CDM

AGH-CTR offers the CDM-Validator cybersecurity validation framework, which allows organizations to design testing plans based on the Cyber Defense Matrix (CDM). This enables enterprises to systematically validate whether their deployed cybersecurity solutions are truly operational and effective in their current environment.

Multidimensional Defense Validation: From an Attacker's Perspective

We simulate the full attack chain from a real attacker’s perspective, helping blue teams validate the following capabilities:

- Asset Visibility and Risk Assessment

 -Simulate reconnaissance behaviors to help assess asset status, quickly identify attack surfaces, and locate vulnerabilities.

- Defense Efficiency Validation

 - Simulate various attack scenarios to uncover blind spots in rules and equipment defenses.

- Threat Detection Capability Testing

 - Validate whether abnormal behaviors can be detected in real time and improve detection coverage.

- Incident Response Testing

 - Test blue team response processes and reaction speeds to reduce attack containment time.

- Post-Attack Recovery Testing

 - Simulate system and privilege recovery processes after an attack to ensure critical business operations resume quickly.

Comprehensive Attack Scenario Playbooks

AGH-CTR has over hundreds of built-in drill playbooks, covering 164 ATT&CK techniques and more than 230,000 payloads. The playbook scenarios include:

- External Service Protection Drill

- Cloud Environment Protection Drill

- Email Protection Drill

- Endpoint Protection Drill

- Lateral Movement Protection Drill

- Internet Protection Drill

- Data Leak Prevention (DLP) Drill

Flexible Deployment Options for Diverse Enterprise Environments

AGH-CTR supports various deployment modes to accommodate the constraints of different enterprise environments:

- For environments that cannot connect to the internet, a fully offline deployment mode with a time limit is available.

- If server setup is not feasible, the platform can run drills on high-performance laptops.

- Flexible deployment is supported for cloud, on-premises data centers, or customer-specified environments.

- For scenarios where agents cannot be installed, a Non-Agent Mode is available, suitable for external services and email scenarios.

Lightweight, Installation-Free Agents for Quick Implementation

- No installation of programs is required—simply use executable files or PowerShell commands.

- Installation and removal processes are simple and fast, with no complicated operations.

- Does not affect client system operations, ensuring environmental stability.

- Agents are licensed with no limits, allowing global deployment without additional licensing costs.

Open Payloads and Attack Details for Rule Adjustment

AGH-CTR provides complete attack commands and payloads to assist cybersecurity teams in:

- Analyzing whether defensive equipment successfully intercepted the attack.

- Optimizing rules for EDR, SIEM, Firewall, and other defensive tools.

- Enhancing overall detection and defense capabilities, achieving continuous improvement.
