Red Team Service

Simulating Real-World Attacks to Strengthen Defenses

Red Team engagements simulate sophisticated, multi-stage adversary campaigns to assess an organization's ability to detect, respond to, and recover from real-world attacks. Unlike point-in-time penetration tests, Red Teaming evaluates people, processes, and technology across extended, goal-oriented exercises that mirror threat actor objectives (data theft, persistence, disruption).

Purpose & Value

Red Team operations answer high-value questions for leadership and security teams: Can attackers achieve their objectives undetected? How effective are detection, triage, and containment workflows? What operational gaps allow persistent adversaries to succeed? The outcome is improved SOC performance, hardened controls, and prioritized risk reduction that aligns with business impact.

Engagement Types:

Full-scope Adversary Emulation: Long-duration campaigns mimicking named threat groups (mapped to MITRE ATT&CK) targeting critical assets.
Targeted Compromise Exercises: Focused scenarios (e.g., supply chain compromise, executive compromise, IP exfiltration).
Purple Teaming: Collaborative sessions where red and blue teams work iteratively to validate detections and tune controls in real time.
Physical & Social Engineering: Controlled assessments of physical security, tailgating, and human-targeted attack vectors (phishing, vishing).
Cloud & Identity-Focused Red Teaming: Emulation of cloud-native attack chains, identity takeover, and cross-tenant privilege escalation.

Methodology & Rigor

Our methodology is adversary-centric, repeatable, and measurable:

Objective Definition & RoE: Align attack goals with business risk, define exclusions, legal boundaries, and safety controls.
Reconnaissance & OPSEC: Conduct extensive OSINT and infrastructure mapping to develop realistic access pathways.
Initial Access & Persistence: Exploit social, application, or configuration weaknesses to establish footholds and persistence.
Lateral Movement & Privilege Escalation: Simulate realistic techniques to access high-value assets and expand control.
Command & Control & Data Exfiltration: Validate potential exfiltration channels and masking techniques under monitored conditions.
Detection Timing & Response Validation: Measure time-to-detect, investigation quality, and containment effectiveness.
Closure & Safe Remediation: Remove artifacts, restore affected systems, and validate eradication where applicable.

Threat Modeling & Intelligence Alignment

Engagements are aligned with threat intelligence and mapped to MITRE ATT&CK to ensure relevance to likely adversaries. This helps prioritize detection engineering and control investments based on tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) most meaningful to your sector.

Operational Safety & Ethics

All activities operate under strict legal and ethical controls: approved Rules of Engagement, stakeholder communication plans, safety kill-switches, and data-handling policies. Tests are coordinated to avoid business disruption and to comply with regulatory and contractual obligations.

Metrics & Outcomes

We report on operationally meaningful metrics: detection latency, percent of malicious activity detected, false-positive burden, lateral movement success rate, escalation vectors, and time-to-containment. Recommendations focus on pragmatic, high-impact improvements to detection engineering, incident playbooks, visibility gaps, and defensive automation.
