Offensive Security

Red Teaming

A simulated adversary that tests your defences and response end to end.

Periodic penetration testing tells you whether specific systems are hardened. To be truly sure of your security posture, you need a real-world scenario designed to measure how well your defensive and response capabilities withstand social, physical, network and application attacks from a simulated adversary.

A red teaming exercise measures both the effectiveness of your defences and the efficiency of your incident response team in detecting and tracking an attack. Our consultants combine vulnerability assessment and penetration testing with customised attack tools, techniques and strategies, and can extend to on-site physical intrusion where confidentiality, integrity and availability of critical assets are at stake. Engagements are informed by current threat intelligence so the scenarios reflect adversaries your organisation is likely to face.
