Case Study: Online Retail Group strengthens cyber defence with DigitalXRAID Red Team Exercise

How an online retail group was able to understand its open attack vectors and how to withstand a real-world attack with a red team exercise

Online Retail Group, an ecommerce business operating four branded sites, wanted a clearer view of its threat landscape and exposed vulnerabilities as retail and ecommerce cyberattacks continued to rise. To better understand how it appeared to attackers and how well its existing defenses could stand up to a real incident, the company engaged DigitalXRAID for a Red Team Exercise.

DigitalXRAID carried out extensive reconnaissance, OSINT gathering, and fingerprinting to identify exposed infrastructure, outdated software, breached credentials, and an unprotected VPN server without 2FA. Using stolen credentials, DigitalXRAID accessed the retailer’s network and obtained VPN configuration, gaining full internal network access within two hours of the attack phase. The engagement gave Online Retail Group a full review of its systems and open attack vectors, along with actionable remediation guidance to strengthen defenses and reduce cyber risk.
