Red Team Engagement
Test your defenses against real-world cyberattacks and strengthen your incident response.
Red Team vs. Penetration Testing: What’s the Difference?
While both are essential to a comprehensive security strategy, they serve different purposes:
Penetration Testing
- A scoped, time-limited assessment that identifies vulnerabilities by actively scanning and probing systems.
- Think of it as “knocking on every door,” usually with the knowledge of your security team.
Red Team Assessment
- A stealth operation that simulates a real-world adversary to test your organization’s ability to detect and respond to an attack.
- It targets the path of least resistance via phishing, physical access, wireless compromise, or web vulnerabilities, to breach critical assets, often without alerting your security team.
Why are Red Team Engagements Matters?
Red team engagements reveal how real-world attackers could compromise your critical assets. They uncover vulnerabilities across your network, applications, devices, and people, while testing the effectiveness of your monitoring and incident response. The results provide clear, actionable insights to help you prioritize and strengthen your future security initiatives.
Custom Red Team Engagements, Tailored to You
Every engagement is tailored to reflect your specific threat landscape, business objectives, and risk profile. We emulate Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) using custom malware, proprietary tools, and stealth techniques designed to bypass detection.
To help you identify gaps in your monitoring, response workflows, and overall security ecosystem, we uncover:
Blind spots in defense structures
Breakdowns in incident response
Organizational and technical weaknesses
Our Red Team Methodology
With years of real-world experience, our red team follows a proven, repeatable process designed to expose the true effectiveness of your defenses
1. Define the Scope
We determine what’s out of scope (to avoid disrupting critical operations) while setting objectives, rules of engagement, and issuing a “get-out-of-jail-free card” for physical testing
2. Reconnaissance
We gather OSINT and passive data to simulate a real attacker’s preparation phase:
- Leak detection
- Credential dumps
- Wireless recon
- Spoofable domain discovery
3. Attack Planning
We develop an attack plan combining digital and physical vectors:
- Web app analysis
- Cloud misconfigurations
- Wireless vulnerabilities
- Social engineering pretexts
4. Attack & Exploitation
We execute the attack with stealth and persistence, documenting all activity to validate detection and response timelines:
- Credential-based access
- Lateral movement
- Phishing and Wi-Fi attacks
- Physical intrusion attempts
5. Reporting
You receive a comprehensive report including:
Executive summary
- MITRE ATT&CK-mapped techniques
- Vulnerability breakdowns
- Reproducible exploitation steps
- Remediation guidance and retest up to 03 months
- Optional attestation letter

FAQs
If you haven’t completed at least 2–3 penetration tests, a Red Team assessment may not be the right step for you. Red Teaming is most effective once basic vulnerabilities are addressed and your security team has shown readiness in handling common threats. It’s the next step to stress-test your defenses and uncover gaps in real-time detection and response.
Usually not. Most Red Team engagements are conducted covertly to evaluate real-time detection and response. However, leadership will define scope and be aware of the test.
Engagements are carefully scoped and coordinated to avoid disrupting critical systems. Clear rules of engagement and exclusion zones are defined upfront.
