Adversary emulation modeled on the threat actors you actually face.
Versus cyber warfare is full-scope adversary emulation: objectives-based, intelligence-led, and modeled on the specific threat actors most likely to target your organization. We do not run automated scanners and call it a red team. We build the campaign — initial access, persistence, lateral movement, exfiltration, impact — the way a real adversary would.
Operators come from offensive backgrounds: exploit developers, former CNO operators, and senior red teamers with field time against hard targets. Every engagement maps to MITRE ATT&CK, produces detection content for your blue team, and is evaluated jointly in a debrief that focuses on what your defenders learned, not what we got away with.
For organizations operating under sustained adversary interest, we also run continuous adversary emulation programs — quarterly campaigns under different threat-actor profiles, with detection coverage measured over time.
Each engagement is led by senior operators. Scope is shaped to your environment, not pulled from a template.
Objectives-based campaign with intelligence-led TTPs. Initial access through impact, no rules of engagement narrower than legal.
Start with planted access. Test detection, lateral movement controls, and response — without burning weeks on initial access.
Specific named-actor TTP playbooks: ransomware operators, nation-state intrusion sets, financially-motivated clusters.
Site entry, badge cloning, and targeted social engineering — fully scoped, fully documented.
Quarterly campaigns under rotating actor profiles. Detection coverage tracked as a control metric over time.
Joint exercises with your defenders in the room. Detection content built and validated during the exercise.
A consistent rhythm whether the engagement is a single audit or a multi-quarter program.
Threat-actor selection and TTP curation based on your sector, geographies, and current intelligence reporting.
Live campaign execution under operational security. Daily comms with a designated trusted agent on your side.
Joint debrief with your blue team. Every action is shown, every detection gap is mapped, every TTP is reproducible.
New detections, control changes, and a re-test plan. We do not declare victory until you can detect us next time.
If yours isn’t here, the hotline and engagement intake both reach a senior partner.
Production impact is bounded by rules of engagement. We will not encrypt, exfiltrate sensitive data, or take down production. We will demonstrate that we could — with proof — and stop short of doing it.
A small trusted-agent group on your side — typically the CISO, head of legal, and one technical point. The blue team usually does not, which is the point.
A pen test has a narrow scope and shallow objectives — find vulnerabilities in a defined target. A red team has a broad scope and an objective tied to business impact — and the engagement is judged on whether your detection and response held.
Success is detection coverage, not domain admin. If your blue team detects, contains, and ejects us, that is a successful outcome — and we document the response so it can be repeated.
Warfare engagements frequently sit alongside these capabilities. The same operating doctrine, the same partners.
Most engagements begin with a 30-minute scoping call. We’ll tell you within that call whether we’re the right fit.
