Adversarial Security Operations

We attack your systems
before adversaries do.

Elite red team operators simulating nation-state TTPs, zero-day exploitation, and advanced persistent threat campaigns to harden your organization's defenses.

What We Do

Adversarial Services Built for Enterprise

From targeted phishing simulations to full-scope assumed breach scenarios — our operators use the same tradecraft as nation-state actors.

🎯

External Red Team

Full-scope adversarial simulation from the internet. Perimeter testing, exploitation, and lateral movement through your production environment.

APT Simulation
🏗️

Internal Penetration Test

Assume-breach scenarios that test your internal controls, Active Directory posture, and SOC detection capabilities under real attack pressure.

Assume Breach
📱

Physical & Social Engineering

Vishing, phishing, and on-site physical intrusion testing. We test your people, processes, and badge access controls — not just technology.

Human Vector
⚙️

Cloud & DevSecOps

AWS, Azure, GCP adversarial assessments including IAM abuse, container escapes, CI/CD pipeline poisoning, and supply chain attacks.

Cloud Native
🔗

Purple Team Operations

Collaborative exercises where our red team attacks while your blue team detects. We help tune your SIEM, EDR, and detection playbooks live.

Detection Tuning
📋

Tabletop & TIBER-EU

Threat-intelligence-based red team exercises aligned with TIBER-EU, CBEST, and DORA frameworks for regulated financial institutions.

How We Operate

MITRE ATT&CK–Aligned Methodology

Every engagement follows a disciplined kill chain, documented and mapped to MITRE ATT&CK for maximum actionability in your remediation roadmap.

01

Scoping & Threat Model

Define crown jewels, rules of engagement, and attacker personas aligned to your actual threat landscape.

02

Reconnaissance

OSINT, passive and active recon. Attack surface mapping across people, technology, and supply chain.

03

Initial Access

Exploit external exposures, craft targeted phishing lures, and establish covert C2 infrastructure.

04

Post-Exploitation

Lateral movement, credential harvesting, privilege escalation, and persistence across the kill chain.

05

Reporting & Debrief

Executive narrative + technical findings + MITRE ATT&CK heat map + remediation roadmap with SLAs.

ACTIVE THREAT INDICATORS — LIVE FEED LIVE
CVE-2025-2847 — Citrix ADC RCE 9.8
Lazarus Group — spear-phish wave APT 9.3
NTLM Relay via IPv6 poisoning AD 8.1
Okta Org2Org token abuse IdP 7.9
GitHub Actions supply chain pivot CI/CD 6.5
Kubernetes node privilege escape Cloud 6.2
Threat Intelligence

We operate with current intelligence, not last year's CVE lists.

Our operators maintain active research into emerging TTPs, zero-days, and threat actor tradecraft. Every engagement benefits from intelligence we generate in our own research lab.

  • Proprietary C2 frameworks not flagged by commercial AV
  • Custom implants with EDR bypass capabilities
  • Threat actor persona emulation (UNC groups, APT29, etc.)
  • Live intelligence sharing via client portal during engagements
  • Post-engagement detection rule contributions to your SOC

Engagements That Moved the Needle

Anonymized excerpts from recent full-scope adversarial assessments across critical industries.

Financial Services — Tier-1 Bank

SWIFT network lateral movement via compromised vendor

Gained access through a third-party IT supplier with overprivileged AD trust. Reached SWIFT messaging infrastructure in 72 hours without triggering a single SIEM alert.
