Red Team Operations

Measure detection and response against a determined, goal-driven adversary.

Red Team Operations simulate a real threat actor pursuing defined objectives — data exfiltration, ransomware deployment, or domain takeover — across a multi-week engagement, without the constraints of a traditional pentest scope. The goal is measuring your Blue Team's ability to detect, contain, and respond.

The problem

Challenges we help you solve

Uncertainty whether SOC and detection tooling actually work under pressure
Point-in-time tests don't reflect a persistent, patient adversary
Gaps between security tooling investment and measurable outcomes
Need for evidence-based tabletop input for leadership and boards

Our approach

Methodology

A repeatable, transparent process from kickoff to closure.

01

Objective setting

Define crown-jewel targets and success criteria with a small trusted group of stakeholders.

02

Initial access

Simulated phishing, external exploitation, or physical/social vectors as scoped.

03

Persistence & evasion

Establish covert footholds designed to test detection coverage, not just access.

04

Objective pursuit

Lateral movement toward crown-jewel targets while logging every detection opportunity.

05

Purple team debrief

Joint walkthrough with your SOC to close detection and response gaps.
