Experience a Real Attack — Without the Consequences
A penetration test finds vulnerabilities. A red team engagement answers a harder question: can an attacker actually breach your organization, evade your defenses, and reach your crown jewels? Our red team operators simulate advanced persistent threats using the same tactics, techniques, and procedures as nation-state actors and sophisticated criminal groups — testing your security team's ability to detect, respond to, and contain a realistic attack across your entire organization.
What we test
Our testers systematically evaluate every attack vector relevant to this assessment type.
Initial Access Operations
We use the same techniques real adversaries employ to gain their first foothold: targeted phishing campaigns with custom payloads, social engineering pretexts, external infrastructure exploitation, supply chain attack simulation, physical security bypass, and credential harvesting from OSINT. Our goal is to gain initial access through whichever path offers the least resistance.
Persistence & Evasion
Once we gain access, we establish persistence mechanisms that survive reboots, password changes, and routine security scans. We test your detection capabilities by deploying custom implants, living-off-the-land techniques (LOLBins), registry modifications, scheduled tasks, WMI event subscriptions, and DLL side-loading — all while actively evading your EDR, SIEM, and SOC monitoring.
Lateral Movement & Escalation
From our initial foothold, we move through your environment using credential theft, token manipulation, Kerberos abuse, trust relationship exploitation, and network pivoting. We map your internal attack surface, identify high-value targets, escalate privileges to domain administrator or cloud admin, and demonstrate the full blast radius of a single compromised endpoint.
Command & Control
We establish covert command-and-control channels using encrypted communications over common protocols (HTTPS, DNS, WebSocket) that blend with legitimate traffic. Our custom C2 infrastructure tests your network monitoring capabilities, egress filtering, proxy inspection, and threat intelligence feed coverage. We evaluate whether your security team can identify the indicators of compromise.
Data Exfiltration
The ultimate objective: we locate, access, and demonstrate exfiltration of your organization's crown jewels — whether that is customer data, intellectual property, financial records, or source code. We test DLP controls, encrypted channel detection, data classification enforcement, and your ability to detect unusual data access patterns and large-volume transfers.
Detection & Response Evaluation
Throughout the engagement, we track which of our activities triggered alerts, which were missed, and how your security team responded. This produces a detailed assessment of your SOC effectiveness, SIEM rule coverage, EDR detection capabilities, incident response procedures, and mean time to detect and respond to each attack phase.
Our approach
A structured methodology that ensures thorough coverage and actionable results.
Threat Modeling & Planning
We collaborate with your leadership to define crown jewels, threat scenarios, rules of engagement, and success criteria. We select relevant MITRE ATT&CK techniques based on threat intelligence for your industry, define communication protocols and safety procedures, and establish the adversary profile we will simulate throughout the engagement.
Reconnaissance & Weaponization
We conduct extensive OSINT on your organization — employee enumeration, technology stack identification, third-party relationships, leaked credentials, and exposed infrastructure. We develop custom attack infrastructure including phishing domains, payload delivery mechanisms, command-and-control servers, and social engineering pretexts tailored to your organization.
Attack Execution
We execute the full attack chain — initial access, execution, persistence, privilege escalation, defense evasion, lateral movement, collection, and exfiltration. Every action is logged with timestamps for the debrief. We operate under realistic constraints, adapting our tactics when blocked and finding alternative paths just as a real adversary would.
Debrief & Purple Team Workshop
We conduct a detailed debrief with your security team, walking through every action chronologically against your detection timeline. This purple team workshop identifies specific detection gaps, SIEM rules that should have fired, EDR policies to tune, and incident response improvements. The result is a concrete roadmap to measurably improve your defensive capabilities.
