Red Teaming

Red teaming is the final exam for your cybersecurity

Improve detection and response capabilities, and provide actionable insights for your blue team. Elevate your defense strategies with expert cyber attack simulation.

Red teaming provides crucial insights into your organization’s cyber resilience. It helps you demonstrate your cybersecurity current state to senior leadership, and prioritize resources and budget.

Red teaming exercises serve as a rigorous test for mature organizations. Those that have already identified critical assets, implemented security controls, and invested in staff security awareness training. These engagements test not only your technical defenses but also your people and processes.

Our highly skilled team simulates realistic adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures. We try to stay hidden, revealing gaps in your detection and response, and helping you to improve.

Red teaming is a powerful approach to simulate real-world adversaries and test an organization’s detection, response, and overall resilience. These Targeted Attack Simulations (TAS) are designed for mature organizations that have implemented foundational security controls and seek to validate their defenses under realistic pressure.

A structured TAS engagement typically follows four phases:

• Project initiation – Scope, communication protocols, and escalation paths are defined. This phase ensures that all stakeholders are aligned on objectives, boundaries, and communication channels throughout the engagement.
• Attack positioning – External reconnaissance and phishing are used to gain initial access. The red team identifies potential entry points, targets vulnerable users, and attempts to establish a foothold using stealthy techniques.
• Attack execution – Internal reconnaissance, lateral movement, and privilege escalation are performed to compromise critical systems. The team mimics advanced threat actors, navigating the environment while avoiding detection.
• Breach notification & response – The blue team is alerted, enabling real-time incident response and collaboration. This phase tests how effectively the organization can detect, contain, and remediate the simulated threat.

Throughout the simulation, red teams use realistic tactics such as PPID spoofing, memory injection, and golden ticket attacks to remain undetected. These exercises demonstrate how attackers could bypass application-level controls and access sensitive systems, often revealing gaps in monitoring, alerting, and escalation processes.

Key principles include aligning attack objectives with business risks, fostering collaborative learning between red and blue teams, and using real-world offensive techniques to inform defense strategies. The engagement improves detection coverage, playbook development, and team coordination.

Red teaming also provides a unique opportunity to rehearse crisis management protocols, validate escalation paths, and assess cross-functional communication under pressure. It encourages transparency between technical and business stakeholders, helping bridge the gap between operational security and strategic risk management.

Red teaming is not a pass/fail exercise. It’s a learning opportunity. It helps organizations understand how their technical defenses, people, and processes perform under pressure. The insights gained support continuous improvement and strengthen the overall cybersecurity posture.
