Red Teaming
A simulated large-scale targeted attack on your company's information systems, using any means possible.
Red Teaming is a simulated large-scale targeted attack on your company's information systems. It's a 'gloves off, any means possible' attempt (hacking, social engineering, and physical access) to comprehensively test your defences.
Unlike a standard penetration test, which focuses on specific systems or applications, a red team engagement tests your entire security posture. This includes your technology, your people, and your processes.
Our red team operates covertly, just like a real adversary. The goal is to test not just whether your systems can be breached, but whether your security team can detect and respond to a sophisticated, multi-vector attack.
Red Teaming provides the most realistic assessment of your organisation's ability to withstand a determined attacker. It reveals gaps that no other type of assessment can uncover.
How We Test Your Defences
A red team engagement uses multiple attack vectors simultaneously, mirroring the tactics of real-world adversaries.
Network Exploitation
Advanced techniques to compromise your network infrastructure, including exploiting misconfigurations, unpatched systems, and zero-day vulnerabilities.
Social Engineering
Phishing campaigns, pretexting, and other manipulation techniques designed to test how your people respond to targeted attacks.
Physical Access
Attempting to gain physical entry to your premises to access systems, plant devices, or exfiltrate data.
Application Attacks
Targeting your web applications, APIs, and custom software to find logic flaws and injection vulnerabilities.
Privilege Escalation
Once initial access is gained, we attempt to escalate privileges and move laterally through your network to reach critical assets.
Detection Testing
Throughout the engagement, we assess your blue team's ability to detect, investigate, and respond to our activities.
Red Team Engagement Phases
Planning & Scoping
Define objectives, rules of engagement, and success criteria with key stakeholders.
Reconnaissance
Covert intelligence gathering on your organisation, people, technology, and physical locations.
Attack Execution
Multi-vector attack campaigns executed over an agreed timeframe, simulating a persistent adversary.
Debrief & Report
Comprehensive debrief with your security team, including a detailed attack narrative and recommendations.
