Red team
Find out whether an adversary could reach an objective that matters to the business. One agreed scenario tests technology, people and your response together.
What it answers.
- Could a determined adversary reach the system or data we care about most?
- Would our monitoring and response teams notice, and what would they do?
- Which controls actually stopped or slowed the attempt?
What is in scope.
Objective-led adversary simulation within agreed rules of engagement. The exact boundary is written into the authorization before work starts.
- One or more business objectives agreed with your leadership
- Initial access routes permitted by the rules of engagement
- Movement across networks, identities and cloud services toward the objective
- Social and physical elements where they are explicitly authorized
- Observation of detection and response, coordinated with a small control group
How it runs.
-
Set the objective
Leadership names the outcome to test and signs the rules of engagement.
-
Plan the scenario
We model a realistic adversary and agree safety limits and stop conditions.
-
Execute
The team works toward the objective while the control group tracks progress.
-
Replay
We walk your defenders through the timeline so they can compare it with what they saw.
-
Report
Attack paths, control gaps and defensive observations go to the agreed audience.
What you receive.
- An executive summary written for the board or senior management
- A technical narrative of each attack path with evidence
- A timeline comparing our actions with your detection and response
- Prioritized recommendations for controls and response
What we need from you.
- A senior sponsor who owns the objective and the rules of engagement
- A small control group who knows the exercise is running
- Emergency contacts and agreed stop conditions
- Any regulatory framework the exercise must follow
Choose a red team when your defenses have been tested piece by piece and you now need to know whether they hold together against one focused adversary.
