Why Red Team Simulation?

Overview.

Red Team Simulation is an advanced cybersecurity exercise that emulates real-world attack scenarios to test an organization’s overall security posture. It mimics the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of sophisticated threat actors, such as cybercriminals, nation-state groups, or insiders, without prior knowledge given to the defenders. The goal is to assess how well your people, processes, and technologies can detect, respond to, and recover from a targeted attack.

Purpose.

Our red team will measure your organization's true resilience to cyber attacks by physically assessing your protected systems and testing the response capabilities of your SOC, Blue Team, Purple Team, and other defense systems.

What We Simulate

Social Engineering & Phishing

Endpoint, AD & Lateral Movement

Objective-Based Attacks

We launch realistic phishing campaigns, drop malicious payloads, or simulate insider threats to gain initial access, just like attackers would.

Once inside, we exploit workstations, Active Directory, and internal systems to escalate privileges, pivot between departments, and reach crown-jewel assets.

We define goals such as “Access financial records” or “Exfiltrate customer data,” and test how far we can go before detection or containment occurs.

Our Attack Chain

Reconnaissance & Target Profiling

Initial Access (Phishing, Exploits, Insider Sim)

Persistence & Command Control (C2)

Privilege Escalation & Credential Theft

Lateral Movement Across Hosts & Domains

Objective Execution (e.g., Data Exfiltration)

Detection Evasion Throughout

Reporting & Threat-Informed Defense

Gathering intelligence on the target using open-source and passive techniques to identify assets, technologies, and potential entry points, forming a foundation for effective attack planning.

We simulate real-world attack vectors such as phishing emails, vulnerability exploitation, or insider threats, to test the effectiveness of defenses against unauthorized entry.

We head to establish long-term access and covert communication channels within the compromised environment, mimicking attacker techniques to evaluate detection and response capabilities.

Our team engineers will exploit system weaknesses to gain higher-level access and extract credentials to move laterally or deepen control, simulating advanced attacker behavior post-initial compromise.

And then using attacker techniques to navigate through systems and domains, uncovering paths to critical assets and demonstrating the potential impact of a full-scale breach.

Dumping to the final stage of an attack—such as stealing sensitive data or disrupting operations—to assess the effectiveness of detection, response, and containment measures.

Employing stealth techniques to bypass security controls and avoid detection during each attack phase, testing the resilience of monitoring, logging, and alerting systems.

Our comprehensive team will deliver detailed findings aligned with real-world attacker tactics (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK), along with tailored defensive strategies to strengthen detection, response, and prevention capabilities.

What You’ll Receive

A real-world breach simulation report with complete kill chain mapping

Indicators of compromise (IOCs) and detection gaps

Defense effectiveness analysis for SOC and blue teams

Post-engagement executive and technical briefings

We provide comprehensive report detailing each phase of the simulated attack, mapped to the full cyber kill chain—from reconnaissance to objective execution—highlighting exploited paths, security gaps, and improvement recommendations.

We will point out that the IOCs are forensic data or evidence that indicate a system may have been breached or that malicious activity has occurred. They are critical for incident detection, response, and threat hunting.

A Defense Effectiveness Analysis framework tailored for SOC (Security Operations Center) and Blue Teams, focusing on how well defenses detect, respond to, and contain real-world attacks.

Deliver The tailored debrief sessions for leadership and technical teams, providing strategic insights, detailed findings, and prioritized action plans to enhance organizational resilience and align remediation with business objectives.
