Red Team & Attack Simulation

MITRE ATT&CK-based adversary emulation, Purple Team (red+blue coordination), continuous defense validation with Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS), Active Directory attack scenarios (Kerberoasting, ADCS), lateral movement, privilege escalation and EDR/AV evasion — operations that put your organization's detection and response capabilities to the test under real-world conditions.

Last reviewed: 2026-09-11

Overview

Our Red Team & Attack Simulation capability goes beyond penetration testing, which focuses on finding the vulnerabilities of a specific asset; it emulates the objectives, tactics and patience of a real attacker to test your organization's detection and response capabilities end to end.

Operations are grounded in the MITRE ATT&CK framework; a realistic attack chain is constructed spanning initial access, persistence, lateral movement, privilege escalation and reaching the objective. Active Directory attack scenarios (Kerberoasting, ADCS exploitation, DCSync, etc.), evasion of security products (EDR/AV evasion) and, where appropriate, physical/social vectors are brought into play.

With Purple Team, we bring the red and blue teams together at the same table; we jointly measure whether each ATT&CK technique is detected and optimize the attack-defense loop. With Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS), we continuously and automatically simulate attacks to validate the effectiveness of your defensive controls without interruption.

We scope every engagement to the starting point that best matches your goals: full-scope external operations begin with no prior access, mirroring a real attacker working purely from reconnaissance, while assumed-breach engagements start from an already-compromised foothold, such as a workstation or a low-privilege account, to compress the timeline and focus the operation on lateral movement, privilege escalation and detection testing rather than initial access. The starting point, the objective and the rules of engagement are agreed with you before the operation begins.

Scope

We construct a realistic attack chain end to end and validate the defensive side as well:

  • Adversary emulation: emulating the TTPs of a specific threat actor.
  • Purple Team: attack-defense optimization through coordinated work between the red and blue teams.
  • Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS): validating defensive controls through continuous, automated simulated attacks.
  • Active Directory attack scenarios: Kerberoasting, AS-REP Roasting, ADCS exploitation, DCSync, Golden/Silver Ticket.
  • Lateral movement and privilege escalation.
  • Evasion of security products (EDR/AV evasion) and detection bypass.
  • Persistence and command-and-control (C2) infrastructure.
  • Physical and social engineering vectors (within an authorized scope).
  • Credential-based attacks: harvesting, cracking and abusing credentials obtained via Kerberoasting, AS-REP Roasting or DCSync to move from a single compromised account toward domain-wide privilege.
  • Phishing and social-engineering campaigns designed to obtain an initial foothold, run under the same authorized rules of engagement as any physical or social vector in scope.
  • Detection-evasion techniques against endpoint detection and response (EDR) and antivirus (AV) tooling, together with methods to blend command-and-control traffic into normal network patterns.

Approach

We conduct the operation in a controlled manner, within pre-agreed objectives and rules:

  • MITRE ATT&CK-based scenario design and target selection informed by threat intelligence.
  • Clarifying the rules of engagement and scope; protecting the production environment.
  • Purple Team: detection-focused work in real time with the blue team, and detection rule tuning.
  • Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS): continuous defense validation with repeatable, automated scenarios.
  • Measuring the detection and response performance of each technique.
  • Secure, isolated command-and-control infrastructure throughout the operation.
  • Engagement kickoff defines the starting point (full-scope external or assumed-breach), the objective and the rules of engagement before any activity begins.
  • Operator actions are logged and mapped to specific attacker techniques throughout the operation, feeding directly into the attack-chain visualization delivered at the end of the engagement.
  • A stop-work procedure is agreed with your team so the operation can be paused immediately if an unexpected production impact is observed.

Deliverables

At the end of the operation, we advance your defenses with real data:

  • Visualization of the attack chain on the ATT&CK matrix.
  • Gap analysis of which techniques were detected and which went unnoticed.
  • Detection improvement and detection rule recommendations for the SOC/blue team.
  • A map of privilege escalation and lateral movement paths.
  • Executive summary and a prioritized defense roadmap.
  • Findings and detection gaps tracked through the SecFlowX workflow-automation module, so remediation and detection-engineering follow-ups carry SLA tracking rather than living only in a static report.
  • A full engagement log and indicator set (tools, infrastructure and timestamps of detected and undetected actions) handed to the blue team for retrospective hunting and detection-rule authoring.

FAQ

Red Team & Attack Simulation — FAQ

How does a Red Team operation differ from penetration testing?
Penetration testing focuses on finding the vulnerabilities of a specific asset. A Red Team, on the other hand, emulates the objectives and tactics of a real attacker to test your organization's detection and response capabilities end to end. The goal is not merely to find vulnerabilities, but to measure whether you can detect and stop the attack.
What do Purple Team and BAS provide?
Purple Team brings the red and blue teams together at the same table to jointly measure whether each attack technique is detected and to tune your detection rules. Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS) continuously and automatically simulates attacks to validate the effectiveness of your defensive controls without interruption, so you catch regressions in your security posture early.
Which scenarios do you cover?
We cover adversary emulation (MITRE ATT&CK-based), Purple Team, Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS), phishing and social engineering, Active Directory attack scenarios (Kerberoasting, ADCS exploitation, DCSync), lateral movement, privilege escalation and evasion of security products. Physical vectors can also be included upon request.
Will the operation damage the production environment?
No. All operations are conducted in a controlled and authorized manner, within pre-agreed rules of engagement. Boundaries to protect critical systems are defined from the outset; the goal is to emulate real-world conditions without putting production continuity at risk.
How do we get started?
You can share your objectives via "Get a Quote" on the contact page. Once we define your threat model and scope together, we propose an adversary emulation scenario tailored to your organization, along with a purple teaming option.
Do operations start from external reconnaissance or an assumed-breach foothold?
Both models are available. Full-scope external operations start with no prior access, mirroring a real attacker working purely from reconnaissance; assumed-breach engagements start from an already-compromised foothold to compress the timeline and focus on lateral movement, privilege escalation and detection testing. The starting point is agreed with you during scoping, alongside the rules of engagement.
Do you help track remediation and detection gaps after the report is delivered?
Where useful, we track findings and detection gaps in the SecFlowX workflow-automation module so remediation and detection-engineering follow-ups carry SLA tracking, instead of the results only living in a static report.
