Red team exercises that test detection—not just a vulnerability list
We pursue agreed objectives the way a real adversary would, so you learn whether attack paths would be noticed and stopped—not only whether a CVE exists.
How we run red team
Every engagement starts with objectives, rules of engagement, and success criteria—not a generic checklist.
- Objective-based scenarios (e.g. reach crown-jewel data, domain admin, or a critical SaaS tenant).
- TTPs aligned to realistic threat paths for your industry and stack.
- Stealth and detection pressure: can your team see and contain the activity?
- Optional purple-team debrief so findings become detection improvements.
What you receive
- Narrative of the attack path taken and where detection succeeded or failed.
- Mapped gaps for people, process, and tooling—not only CVE IDs.
- Prioritized recommendations for control and monitoring improvements.
- Executive brief plus technical appendix for SOC and engineering leads.
When red team beats a standalone pentest
Choose red team when you already have (or are building) detection capability and need proof it works under pressure. If you only need a scoped vulnerability inventory, start with penetration testing instead.

Red team FAQ
Objectives, detection validation, and how red team differs from pentest.
Is red team the same as a pentest?
?No. Pentest inventories exploitable weaknesses in a scope. Red team pursues objectives and stresses whether you detect and respond along the path.
Will you disrupt production?
?Do we need a SOC already?
?Can this include purple team?
?How long does a red team take?
?Ready to scope a red team?
Define the objectives that would hurt most if an attacker reached them—we design the exercise around those outcomes.
