A pentest finds vulnerabilities. A red team finds out if anyone notices when we exploit them. We simulate real adversaries across multiple attack vectors to test your detection and response from end to end.
A realistic adversary simulation that tests your entire security program, not just individual systems.
Red teaming goes further than pentesting. We operate like an actual threat actor: picking our targets, choosing our timing, and adapting our approach based on what we find. The goal isn't to compile a vulnerability list. It's to answer a harder question: can your team detect and stop an attacker who's already inside?
These are multi-week engagements. We blend technical exploitation with social engineering, phishing, and (when scoped) physical access attempts. If your SOC catches us, great. If they don't, you'll know exactly where the gaps are and how to close them.
| Aspect | Penetration Testing | Red Team Operations |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | 1-3 weeks | 4-12 weeks or ongoing |
| Goal | Find exploitable vulnerabilities | Test detection & response |
| Scope | Defined targets & systems | Adaptive; full security program |
| Report Focus | Vulnerabilities & fixes | Detection gaps & response failures |
| SOC Interaction | Minimal (testing systems) | Heavy (testing response team) |
| Cost | Custom-scoped proposal | Custom-scoped proposal |
Unlike a pentest with a fixed scope, we change tactics based on what we discover. If we find a detection gap, we exploit it. If your team responds to one approach, we pivot. That's how real attackers work, and it's how we test.
Mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Every technique we use gets documented so your blue team can build detections.
We define rules of engagement, target profiles, and what "success" looks like for both sides.
Social engineering, web exploitation, supply chain attacks. We use whatever gets us in the door.
We establish footholds, move through the network, and escalate privileges while trying to stay under the radar.
We execute adversary objectives while tracking which of our actions triggered alerts and which didn't.
Full report covering what we did, what got detected, what didn't, and specific recommendations to close the gaps.
Vulnerabilities only matter if someone can actually exploit them undetected. We show you exactly which threats slip past your security team or MSSP.
Your IR plan looks great on paper. But does your team actually detect, contain, and remediate a live threat quickly enough? We'll find out.
Purple team exercises give your SOC analysts and incident responders live reps against real adversary techniques. That's training no course can replace.
You're paying for a SIEM, EDR, and maybe a managed SOC. Are they actually catching things? A red team engagement gives you a concrete answer.
Every red team engagement is custom-scoped. Let's talk about your environment and design something realistic.
