We carry out realistic attack simulations, from attack simulation through red teaming to purple teaming and GenAI red teaming, and show how well your detection and response processes work in real scenarios. This matters, because your IT infrastructure is a constant target for potential attackers.
Our goal is a measurable gain in cyber resilience: detect faster, classify correctly, respond effectively.
Our services
Attack Simulation
A realistic recreation of modern cyberattacks with a clear focus on your most critical attack paths. We combine reconnaissance, vulnerability analysis, exploitation and lateral movement, without artificial scope boundaries, to make real risks visible.
- Prioritised attack paths & exploitability evidence
- Effectiveness review of existing protective measures
- Concrete, actionable hardening measures
Red Teaming
An independent, stealth-oriented red team acts like a real, persistent attacker. The goal is to test your detection & response under real conditions with minimal advance information for the blue team.
- Operate under the radar: TTPs focused on staying inconspicuous
- End-to-end test of your SOC, IR and alerting processes
- Executive readout & tactical improvement roadmap
Purple Teaming
Cooperative exercises of red and blue along the MITRE ATT&CK framework. For each TTP we define detections, test them, adjust use cases and build a robust detection backlog.
- Shared TTP matrix, hypotheses & success criteria
- Validation of SIEM/EDR use cases, log sources & playbooks
- Fast, iterative capability building in the blue team
GenAI Red Teaming
Specific attack scenarios against generative AI systems (LLMs): prompt injection, data poisoning, model/prompt leakage, model extraction, jailbreaks and unauthorized access.
- Threat model for GenAI/LLM use cases
- Test of your AI security controls & guardrails
- Recommendations on policy, architecture & monitoring
If it is about your own AI applications, we test and harden them systematically. More on our focus page Penetration testing for AI systems.
Attack Simulation vs. Red Teaming vs. Purple Teaming
| Attack Simulation | Red Teaming | Purple Teaming | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Focus | Make real attack paths & gaps visible | Test detection & response under live conditions | Build out and verify detection in a targeted way |
| Stealth | Medium | Very high | Medium |
| Blue team involvement | Selective | Uninformed (need-to-know) | Full (joint) |
| Outcome | Concrete gaps & measures | Reality check of your defense | Higher detection rate & robust use cases |
Why these simulations make sense
- The attacker’s perspective: attackers do not stick to scopes. That is why we look at technology, processes and people.
- Critical scenarios in focus: from worst case to business-critical targets (IP, HR data, OT/ICS, ransomware impact).
- Measurable improvements: reduce dwell time, increase detection rate, sharpen playbooks, lower alert fatigue.
- Compliance & risk: evidence for audits and strategic roadmaps for sustainable risk reduction.
Modules of an attack simulation (examples)
01 External Attack Attacks on publicly reachable systems (internet-facing), exploitation of misconfigurations & vulnerabilities, initial access & pivoting.
02 Spear Phishing Targeted campaigns against roles/teams, credential theft, MFA bypass approaches, evaluation of awareness & technical email protection.
03 Malware Infection Client compromise, C2 channels, data exfiltration, evaluation of EDR/AV, DLP, IDS/IPS and egress controls.
04 Social Engineering (physical) Access attempts, tailgating, placement of bad USBs/eavesdropping devices, test of physical controls & awareness.
05 Internal Attack Post-perimeter scenarios: lateral movement, Kerberoasting, pass-the-hash/ticket, AD/Entra ID misconfigurations, privilege escalation.
Approach & results
- Scoping & goals: stakeholders, success criteria, rules of engagement.
- TTP design: MITRE ATT&CK-oriented scenarios, business goals, constraints.
- Execution: stealth/noise level depending on the format, careful risk management.
- Reporting: management summary, technical findings, metrics (e.g. time-to-detect/respond), prioritized measures.
- Readout & purple follow-up workshops: jointly closing the gaps, validating new detections/playbooks.
