Red Teaming
Simulating Real-World Attacks to Strengthen Your Security
TrustedSec Red Team Services
Traditional penetration testing often fails to replicate the full range of threats your organization faces. TrustedSec's Adversarial Attack Simulation (Red Team) delivers an objective-driven assessment that mimics real-world adversaries to test the effectiveness of your security program.
Our Red Team goes beyond conventional testing—utilizing advanced tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to evaluate your organization's ability to detect, respond, and mitigate sophisticated cyber threats.
Why Choose TrustedSec?
- Dedicated Research Unit (TRU): Our in-house research team continuously develops cutting-edge attack techniques and custom tooling, ensuring engagements mirror real-world threat actors.
- Highly Customized Engagements: Every simulation is tailored to your specific security objectives and threat landscape.
- Actionable Strategic Insights: We provide in-depth analysis of attacker behaviors and vulnerabilities, along with recommendations to improve your security posture.
- Enhanced Risk Management: Identify and mitigate vulnerabilities before real attackers exploit them.
Red Teaming Approach: A Multi-Phase Attack Simulation
Our adversarial attack simulations are structured, real-world engagements designed to maximize security effectiveness. Each engagement includes:
- Pre-Planning & Threat ModelingWe collaborate with your team to define critical assets, business-relevant objectives, and attack scenarios tailored to your industry.
- Reconnaissance & Perimeter EvaluationOur team maps your external footprint, identifying vulnerabilities and entry points.
- Social Engineering & Initial AccessUsing ethical phishing, vishing, SMS, and physical breach techniques, we test your defenses against human-focused attacks.
- Internal Expansion & Privilege EscalationOnce access is obtained, we elevate privileges and move laterally using battle-tested techniques to achieve mission objectives.
- Defensive Inclusion & Purple TeamingWe work alongside your security team to refine detection capabilities and enhance incident response.
- Reporting & Executive DebriefTrustedSec delivers a detailed report with findings, attack paths, and actionable insights. Our experts break down results for both executives and technical teams.
