Red Team Attack Simulation: prove your security actually works

Having a firewall, antivirus and policies is one thing. Knowing whether they stop a determined attacker is another. Red Team simulations prove it with evidence.

What you get when you hire

Realistic Red Team exercise

We attack as a real APT actor would: stealth, persistence, evading controls.

Multiple combined vectors

Network, applications, social engineering and physical access — reality does not respect categories.

Measures detection capability

Not just whether they can stop us, but when they detect us and what they do about it.

Coordination with Blue Team (optional)

Purple Team exercise where defenders and attackers collaborate to strengthen posture.

Detailed timeline report

Every step of the attack documented: what we did, when we were detected, what they could do about it.

Detection and response recommendations

Concrete improvements for SIEM, EDR, processes and IR team training.

How we work

An orderly, transparent process — no surprises.

  1. 01

    Scoping and rules of engagement

    We define attack objectives, in-scope systems and rules (what is allowed, what is not).

  2. 02

    OSINT reconnaissance

    We gather information from open sources, as a real attacker would.

  3. 03

    Initial access

    We attempt foothold via phishing, external exposure or physical vector.

  4. 04

    Persistence and escalation

    We establish persistence, escalate privileges and move laterally.

  5. 05

    Objective completion

    We attempt to reach the defined objectives (access to critical data, key systems).

  6. 06

    Detailed report and debriefing

    Joint session with your security team to discuss findings.

Frequently asked questions

Pentesting exhaustively searches for technical vulnerabilities. Red Team simulates a real adversary to measure your detection and response capability. They are complementary.

Only leadership and one authorized point of contact. The defense team should NOT know — that is the test: detect the intruder without knowing it is an exercise.

Between 4 and 8 weeks. Long exercises are more realistic because they include a low-profile phase.

We work under strict rules. We do not exfiltrate real data, do not degrade production systems, and we document but do not exploit anything that could cause damage.
