Red Team
Operation
A covert, multi-week simulation of a real-world advanced threat actor targeting your organization. This is the closest you can get to a real breach without the damage.
Real Attacker Tradecraft
Zero-noise stealth operations with executive-level reporting
Operation Phases
A realistic, multi-phase engagement that mirrors advanced persistent threats.
OSINT Reconnaissance
Gather intelligence on your organization, employees, and infrastructure through open sources.
Initial Access
Phishing, social engineering, or technical exploitation to gain a foothold.
Stealthy Persistence
Establish persistence mechanisms that evade detection and survive reboots.
Objective Completion
Achieve pre-defined objectives (data exfiltration, domain compromise, etc.).
Attack Techniques
Full-spectrum offensive operations using real attacker tradecraft.
OSINT & Reconnaissance
Employee enumeration, technology profiling, and attack surface mapping.
Phishing & Social Engineering
Targeted campaigns designed to bypass security awareness training.
Exploitation
Custom payloads and exploit chains that evade EDR and security controls.
Lateral Movement
Move through your network using living-off-the-land techniques.
Privilege Escalation
Escalate from standard user to domain administrator access.
Data Exfiltration
Demonstrate extraction of sensitive data through covert channels.

What is the difference between a red team operation and a penetration test?
A penetration test focuses on finding as many vulnerabilities as possible within a defined scope. A red team operation simulates a real-world adversary with specific objectives—like compromising a domain controller or exfiltrating sensitive data—while actively evading your detection capabilities. Red teaming tests your people, processes, and technology as a whole, not just individual systems.
How long does a red team engagement take?
Most red team operations run 2–4 weeks, depending on the scope and objectives. This includes OSINT reconnaissance, initial access attempts, lateral movement, and objective completion. More complex engagements with multiple objectives or larger environments may extend to 6 weeks.
Will a red team operation disrupt our business operations?
No. We operate with the same stealth and care as a real advanced threat actor—which means avoiding disruption. Destructive actions like denial-of-service or ransomware deployment are never performed unless explicitly agreed upon in the rules of engagement. A small group of trusted stakeholders is always aware the engagement is happening.
What frameworks and methodologies do you follow?
Our red team operations are aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework for mapping tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). We also reference PTES and TIBER-EU where applicable. Every finding is mapped to ATT&CK technique IDs for clear communication with your security team.
What do we receive in the final report?
You receive an executive attack narrative that tells the full story of the engagement in plain language, plus a detailed technical report with every technique used, detection gaps identified, and specific recommendations. We also include a purple team debrief to walk your SOC through the attack chain.
Who needs red teaming?
Red teaming is ideal for organizations that have mature security programs with established SOC capabilities, EDR/XDR solutions, and incident response procedures. If you have not yet done basic penetration testing, we typically recommend starting there first and progressing to red team operations once foundational controls are in place.
