Red Team Assessment Services

Find Hidden Vulnerabilities & Kill Chains

Emulate the Threat. Measure the Reality.

A red team is not a scanner with flair—it’s a credible rehearsal of how real attackers win. We emulate tactics that fit your risk profile: social engineering and initial access, privilege escalation, lateral movement, control tampering, and data access/exfil options. The objective isn’t “gotcha” moments; it’s to surface the exact chain of events that bypass prevention, dodge detections, and pressure test response. You’ll see how identity, endpoints, cloud, SaaS, and process choices interact when an attack moves quickly—and where a small change would have broken the chain.

Equally important is learning under pressure without creating chaos. Engagements are safely scoped and deconflicted, with stakeholder alignment and clear success criteria. We capture where detections fired (or didn’t), what responders saw in the moment, and which containment choices were safe. The outcome is a defensible picture of entry, spread, and impact potential—paired with prioritized hardening steps and adjustments to playbooks so next time, the same tactics fail fast.

Focus On What Matters

Inside Your Red Team Assessment

Scope precisely, emulate credibly, observe response, and turn findings into specific control and playbook upgrades.

Talk to An Expert

Safe, focused, aligned.

Define objectives (e.g., domain dominance, data access, executive mail).
Rules of engagement, deconfliction, and business-hour vs. after-hours constraints.
Success criteria, reporting cadence, and stakeholder communication paths.

Real tradecraft, mapped to your world.

Initial access routes (phish/pretext, exposed services, valid accounts).
Privilege escalation and lateral movement (token theft, LOLBins, cloud role abuse).
Control tampering (EDR/backup policy changes) and data staging/exfil options.
Traceability: tag actions to frameworks (e.g., ATT&CK) for consistent discussion.

What fired—and what didn’t.

Signals seen by SOC/IR, alert quality, and enrichment gaps.
First-hour decisions, containment safety, and evidence preservation.
Missed opportunities for early interruption and low-noise indicators to promote.

Turn paths into closures.

Visual kill-chain with choke points; prioritized fixes and owners.
Playbook adjustments, detection rules, and quick wins vs. structural changes.
Evidence packs (timelines, IOCs/IOAs) for follow-on testing and validation.
