COUNTER-TARGETING
INTERVENE EARLIER -
CHANGE WHAT'S POSSIBLE
01- WHAT IS COUNTER-TARGETING
DEFEAT THE ADVERSARY'S TARGETING PROCESS.
Counter-Targeting identifies, validates, and closes the pathways adversaries use to find, predict, and reach a principal.
COUNTER-TARGETING APPLIES TO EVERY DOMAIN ADVERSARIES ATTACK:
PERSONAL
PHYSICAL
DIGITAL
TRAVEL
FINANCIAL
& LEGAL
INSIDER THREATS
Different Adversaries. Different Attack Vectors.
The same requirement: A viable pathway to the principal
02 - HOW COUNTER-TARGETING WORKS
WHAT WE DO
Through Counter-Targeting, Recce Group finds the pathways an adversary would find, proves which ones are viable, works with your team to close them, then returns to verify they no longer work.
FIND
Find the pathways an adversary would find.
A Recce Group Professional Counter-Targeter works from the adversary’s perspective to identify the information, access, and conditions around your principal—and find the pathways an adversary would.
PROVE
Prove which pathways are viable.
The pathways found are attempted by specialized operators under controlled authorization—testing whether they work and producing evidence of what an adversary can accomplish against your principal.
DENY
Deny what makes them possible.
We work with your security team and, where needed, appropriate specialists to remove, reduce, or degrade the information, access, and conditions that made the pathway viable.
VERIFY
Prove the pathways no longer work.
We retest the pathway from the adversary’s perspective to determine whether it still works. Closure is demonstrated by effect—not assumed because a remediation was implemented.
FIND THE PATHWAYS FIRST.
THEN MAKE SURE ADVERSARIES CAN’T.
03 - WHAT COUNTER-TARGETING CHANGES
SEE WHAT
THE ADVERSARY SEES
Before Counter-Targeting changes anything, it gives the security team something it didn’t previously have: a view of the principal from the adversary’s perspective.
Counter-Targeting shows your team which adversaries matter, which attack vectors are feasible, and which pathways actually work. It reveals what those pathways depend on—and where intervention has the greatest effect.
KNOW WHAT'S POSSIBLE
Replace assessments about vulnerabilities with evidence of pathways.
KNOW WHERE TO ACT
Direct resources towards the pathways and dependencies that matter.
REDUCE ADVERSARY OPTIONS
Leave fewer viable pathways to your principal.
The result isn't more protection. It's fewer viable opportunities for adversaries.
REMEDIATION IS A CLAIM
VALIDATION IS EVIDENCE
We do not assume improvement. We test it from the adversary's perspective and record the result.
