Simulate credible adversarial threats with goals that mirror real business risk—compromise crown-jewel assets, pivot from beachhead to impact, and validate resilience across people, process, and technology.
Our engagements are mapped to ATT&CK tactics, techniques, and procedures to benchmark prevention, detection, and response with clarity your blue team can act on.
Operate quietly to test true detection—or pair with your defenders to accelerate learning and close gaps fast. You control the rules of engagement.
Red teaming is a goal-oriented, intelligence-led operation that emulates real-world attackers to assess how they could compromise critical systems and business functions, as opposed to the asset-focused scope of a traditional penetration test.
We collaborate with you to design realistic attack scenarios aligned to your unique threat model, whether that means an assumed breach (via Wi-Fi or internal network), a stolen laptop, insider threat, compromised external application or account, targeted phishing, or a full black-box engagement. Each scenario is built with clear success criteria to ensure meaningful, measurable outcomes.
Before kickoff we define and confirm scope, timelines, escalation paths, and notifications procedures with a dedicated control group. This ensures a safe, controlled, and business-aware execution, without alerting the defenders, unless a collaborative approach such as Purple Teaming is preferred.
We map each phase of the engagement to relevant MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise tactics, including Initial Access, Execution, Persistence, Privilege Escalation, Defense Evasion, Credential Access, Discovery, Lateral Movement, Collection, Command & Control, Exfiltration, and Impact. This approach ensures testing that is structured, repeatable, and intelligence-driven, providing clear insights across the entire attack lifecycle.
Choose between covert operations to measure true detection and response capability, or collaborative exercises that enhance SOC playbook effectiveness, tune detections, and build analyst confidence through guided, real-world pressures.
At defined milestones, we provide executives and technical briefings to share progress, surface blockers, and align on next steps. Upon completion, we deliver a comprehensive report and stakeholder presentation outlining findings, impact, and prioritized recommendations for measurable improvement.
Covert, attacker-style campaign aligned to defined objectives (e.g., access CEO mailbox, exfiltrate sensitive data, obtain domain dominance) with minimal prior information. Best for measuring true detection and response.
You get: scoped objectives, ROE, covert operations, milestone updates to control group, executive summary, full technique mapping, and prioritized fixes.
Predefined scenarios tailored to your environment (e.g., assumed stolen device, compromised public app, insider foothold) to stress specific controls when time or budget is constrained.
You get: targeted scenarios, ATT&CK coverage benchmark, gap analysis per tactic, and a maturity roadmap for prevention, detection, and response.
Blend covert tradecraft with collaborative working sessions with the Blue Team to tune detections and run rapid “detect-triage-respond” drills, turning findings into measurable SOC improvements.
You get: side-by-side tuning, detection rule development priorities, playbook updates, and retest validation.
CREST-accredited consultants with deep OffSec credentials, OSCP as a baseline across the team and advanced certifications such as OSEP, OSED, OSCE3, and CRTO represented.
Methodical, objective-driven scoping and end-to-end project management ensure clear visibility and no surprises throughout the engagement.
Real exploitation with contextualized results, including phase-by-phase observations, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and business-impact narratives your stakeholders understand.
Actionable recommendations across prevention, detection, and response to inform planning and drive measurable risk reduction.
Proven experience delivering red teaming engagements for organizations of all sized and industries worldwide.
Executive & Technical Reporting: Objectives, results, impact, and technique mapping per phase.
Management Briefings: Regular milestone updates to control group; final presentation with next steps.
Compliance Support: Use results to support audits and regulatory compliance (e.g. DORA, MAS-TRM, ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST-aligned controls).
Yes, rules of engagement (ROE) define guardrails, notifications, and escalation. Where needed, specific steps can be staged or simulated while preserving realism.
That’s your choice. We can remain covert to test true detection or collaborate to accelerate learning and tuning (purple teaming).
MITRE ATT&CK for Enterprise underpins our design and execution so attack paths align to recognized tactics and techniques.
A final report including an executive summary, detailed per-phase results, technique mapping, and recommendations across prevention, detection, and response.
We can also deliver a final management presentation at the conclusion of the exercise.
Pen testing is typically breadth-first and “loud,” aiming to enumerate many vulnerabilities in a defined scope. Red teaming is goal-oriented and covert, emulating real attackers to test your end-to-end resilience and response.
Choose a partner that brings more than advice. Bitdefender delivers strategic clarity, hands-on support, and trusted expertise that builds real confidence - not a false sense of security.
