Dominando el Elemento Humano: Estrategias de Red Teaming para Seguridad Física e Ingeniería Social

En esta charla exploraremos cómo un red teamer utiliza estrategias de ingeniería social y seguridad fisica para infiltrarse en un edificio y poner a prueba la seguridad. Nos enfocaremos en las tácticas empleadas para desafiar y evaluar los sistemas de seguridad física existentes. La ingeniería social se convierte en una herramienta esencial para el red teamer. A través de la manipulación psicológica y la interacción con el personal, se busca ganar confianza y acceder a áreas restringidas. Esto puede incluir la suplantación de identidad, haciéndose pasar por un empleado legítimo o un contratista autorizado, o aprovechar situaciones cotidianas, como el ingreso durante la hora del almuerzo cuando la vigilancia puede ser menos estricta. La persuasión y el engaño también juegan un papel importante. El red teamer puede emplear técnicas de persuasión convincentes, como simular emergencias o presentarse como una autoridad que necesita acceso inmediato. Además, el uso de dispositivos o herramientas especializadas, como llaves maestras falsas o herramientas de bypass, se utilizan para superar barreras físicas y desactivar sistemas de seguridad. Este resumen destaca cómo el red teaming y la ingeniería social pueden revelar las debilidades en la seguridad física de un edificio. Al entender las tácticas utilizadas, los profesionales de la seguridad pueden fortalecer sus defensas, implementar medidas de prevención más efectivas y mejorar la capacitación del personal para mitigar los riesgos asociados con la infiltración física.
