Our Red Team Exercises simulate complex cyberattacks against an organisation’s people, processes, and technology.
Modern cyber threats are persistent, highly sophisticated, and rarely rely on a single vulnerability. Traditional security assessments often focus on isolated vulnerabilities, while red team exercises evaluate how an organisation performs during a full attack scenario.
Our goal is to identify weaknesses in your security controls, monitoring systems, and incident response capabilities.
Red team exercises help you:
- Test your security monitoring systems
- Evaluate real-world attack scenarios
- Assess incident detection and response capabilities
- Identify defensive weaknesses
- Improve coordination between security and operational teams
What we offer
Contact us for our Red Team Exercises if you want to test how your systems would cope against a real-world attack.
Traditional penetration vs red teaming
Traditional penetration testing focuses on identifying individual vulnerabilities. Comparatively, red teaming shows how well your organisation can detect, respond to, and defend against a determined adversary.
Outcome
You’ll get valuable insight into how attackers may bypass your defences, gain access to sensitive systems, and achieve their objectives without detection. It also focuses on how attackers operate over time, rather than simply identifying individual security weaknesses.
Combining red team & purple team exercises
Consider combining red team exercises with purple team engagements. This lets offensive and defensive teams collaborate to improve detection capabilities. Purple team collaboration helps you translate red team findings into practical security improvements.
What we simulate
Our Red Team Exercises are designed to replicate realistic attacker objectives. Examples include:
Getting access to corporate networks from the internet
Accessing employee accounts from phishing or social engineering
Escalating privileges within enterprise environments
Accessing data
Bypassing network segmentation controls
Getting persistent and undetected access
We plan each engagement carefully to simulate threats relevant to your industry, infrastructure, and risk profile.
Our Red Team Exercises emulate tactics often used by advanced attackers. Here are some examples:
Identify exposed systems, services, and employees through open-source intelligence.
Attempt to gain entry through methods such as credential attacks, exposed services, phishing campaigns and social engineering techniques, exploiting internet-facing systems.
Identify weaknesses that allow attackers to gain privileges within systems or networks.
Move between systems to expand access and locate sensitive resources.
Maintain access within the environment while avoiding detection
Simulate extracting sensitive data to evaluate detection and response capabilities.
What frameworks we follow
Our red team exercises align with internationally recognised frameworks for adversary simulation and security testing.
MITRE ATT&CK
NIST SP 800-115
ISO/IEC 27001
NIST Cybersecurity Framework
These frameworks help ensure red team engagements simulate realistic adversary behaviour and modern attack techniques.
FAQ
Find answers to common questions about our services and what to expect from your experience with us.
Will our security team know the red team exercise is happening?
In many engagements, only a limited group of stakeholders are aware of the exercise to accurately evaluate detection and response capabilities.
Do red team exercises include social engineering?
Yes, where permitted within the scope of the engagement.
How long do red team exercises typically last?
Red team engagements often run for several weeks to simulate persistent attacker activity.
Do you coordinate with our security team during testing?
Testing is carefully coordinated to ensure safety while maintaining realistic simulation conditions.
