Red Teaming & Adversarial Attack Simulation
A full-scope adversary turned loose on your estate, under contract, before a real one does it for free.
A red team is not a vulnerability scan with better marketing. It is a goal: your crown-jewel data, a wire transfer, domain admin, the room with the server in it. I pick the objective with you, then I earn it the way a motivated adversary would — phishing, physical entry, network pivoting, and the quiet patience in between.
Most defenses are built against the attack the vendor sold, not the attacker who shows up. I close that gap by behaving like the attacker, leaving your team to hunt a live operator rather than review a checklist. What breaks in a contracted exercise is a line item. What breaks on a Tuesday is a headline.
- Objective-based, full-scope engagements (digital, physical, human) scoped to a defined flag
- Open-source intelligence and target development on the real attack surface
- Spear-phishing and pretext campaigns built for your actual staff and vendors
- External perimeter breach, then internal pivoting and privilege escalation
- Active Directory / identity-plane compromise and domain dominance paths
- Physical intrusion, badge cloning, and on-site network implants where authorized
- Command-and-control tradecraft tuned to evade your specific EDR and SOC
- Purple-team replay so your defenders learn each step with you in the room
Every engagement opens with a signed Rules of Engagement and Safe Harbor letter, named emergency contacts, and hard de-confliction procedures. I operate quietly, log everything, and never risk production stability for a cheap win. You get continuous, encrypted status — not a surprise nine weeks later.
Every engagement runs under a signed NDA and, where testing is involved, a Safe Harbor agreement. Legal and ethical, start to finish.
- An executive narrative that tells the breach story in plain language, from first foothold to objective
- A technical kill-chain with reproducible steps, artifacts, and timestamps mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
- A prioritized remediation plan sequenced by real-world exploitability, not CVSS theater
How is this different from a penetration test?+
A penetration test enumerates vulnerabilities inside a defined box. A red team ignores the box and pursues an objective by any authorized means, testing your detection and response as much as your technology.
Will this disrupt production?+
No. Stability is a hard constraint written into the Rules of Engagement. I throttle, de-conflict, and stop on request. The goal is to prove risk, not to cause an outage.
