Advanced adversary simulations that test your organization's detection and response capabilities against sophisticated, multi-vector attack scenarios. Uncover gaps in your defenses and incident response procedures.
A sophisticated, multi-phased adversary simulation that tests your organization's ability to detect and respond to real threats.
Red team operations go beyond traditional penetration testing. We act as an external adversary—assuming the role of a sophisticated threat actor—to evaluate how well your organization detects and responds to real attacks. While penetration testing finds vulnerabilities, red teaming tests your entire security program: people, processes, detection capabilities, and incident response procedures.
Our red team engages in multi-week operations using techniques that mirror actual advanced persistent threats (APTs). We blend technical attack vectors with social engineering and physical testing to realistically simulate threats your organization might face. The goal is not just to breach your defenses, but to understand whether your team can detect and respond to an attacker operating inside your network.
| Aspect | Penetration Testing | Red Team Operations |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | 1-3 weeks | 4-12 weeks or ongoing |
| Goal | Find exploitable vulnerabilities | Evaluate detection & response |
| Scope | Defined targets & systems | Adaptive; testing full security program |
| Report Focus | Vulnerabilities & remediation | Detection gaps & response effectiveness |
| SOC Interaction | Minimal (testing systems) | Heavy (testing response team) |
| Cost | $1,500 - $4,500 | $5,000+ (custom quote) |
Unlike penetration testing with defined scope, red team operations adapt based on what we discover. If we find a detection gap, we exploit it. If we detect active defense measures, we adjust. This mirrors real-world adversary behavior.
A structured framework that mirrors advanced threat actor tactics and techniques (ATT&CK framework).
Define engagement rules, target profiles, and success metrics aligned with your detection capabilities.
Multi-phased approach combining social engineering, web exploitation, and supply chain attacks.
Establish persistent access, move through network, and escalate privileges while evading detection.
Execute adversary objectives while documenting detection events and response team actions.
Comprehensive report with findings, detection gaps, response effectiveness, and remediation recommendations.
Vulnerabilities are only a problem if attackers can exploit them. Red team ops show you what threats your SOC (or managed security provider) might miss.
Test your incident response procedures against realistic attacks. Discover whether your team can detect, contain, and remediate threats quickly.
Purple team exercises provide hands-on training for your SOC team, security engineers, and incident responders against real adversary techniques.
Confirm that your SIEM, EDR, firewalls, and other tools are actually catching threats. Justify continued investment in security tools and talent.
Red team operations are custom-scoped engagements. Let's discuss your organization's security posture and design a realistic adversary simulation.
