What we look for
Adversary techniques we simulate
A real adversary chains many techniques toward one objective. We test the full attack path,
and whether your team detects and stops it along the way.
Initial Access
Gaining the first foothold the way a real, determined adversary would.
We test for
- Spear-phishing and pretexting
- External service exploitation
- Exposed credential abuse
- Physical and removable-media vectors
Privilege Escalation & Persistence
Deepening access and staying resident without tripping alarms.
We test for
- Local and domain privilege escalation
- Persistence mechanisms
- Defense evasion
- Credential access
Lateral Movement
Moving through the environment toward the crown-jewel objectives.
We test for
- Host-to-host movement
- Credential reuse and theft
- Trust relationship abuse
- Objective access
Detection & Response
Whether your team actually sees the activity and stops it in time.
We test for
- Alerting and logging coverage
- Time-to-detect and respond
- Control evasion
- Purple-team validation

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What teams most often ask before
scoping red teaming.
01How is a red team engagement different from a penetration test?
A penetration test aims to find as many vulnerabilities as possible in a defined scope. A red team engagement is goal-based and stealthy, testing whether your people, processes, and technology can detect and stop a determined attacker pursuing a specific objective.
02Do you test our detection and response?
Yes. Evaluating whether your team detects and responds to the activity is a core outcome, and we can run it as a purple team exercise so your defenders work alongside us to improve.
03How long does a red team engagement take?
Red team operations run longer than a standard test, typically several weeks, because stealth and realistic pacing are part of the exercise. We scope the duration around your objectives.
