Red Teaming<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

A penetration test examines systems. Red teaming tests the entire organization\u2013technology, processes, and people. We proceed exactly like a real attacker with a specific goal: to break in, gain access to sensitive assets, and remain undetected for as long as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRequest red teaming<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

What is Red Teaming?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Red teaming is the most comprehensive way to test an organization’s cybersecurity. Unlike a classic penetration test<\/a>, which focuses on a predefined scope, red teaming has no fixed boundaries. It has a goal\u2013a so-called flag, i.e., a critical organizational asset: access to a customer database, a domain controller, or protected internal systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our team works just like a sophisticated APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) group. We use a combination of techniques: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physical infiltration<\/strong> \u2013 entering company premises and gaining access to devices<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The goal is not just to find technical vulnerabilities. Red teaming reveals how your organization responds to a real attack\u2013whether the security team notices the threat, how quickly they react, and where the weaknesses lie in both processes and the human factor. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

When do you need Red Teaming?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Red teaming is not for everyone\u2013and that is okay. It is intended for organizations that have basic security measures in place and want to know if they actually work. Consider it if any of the following points apply: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\"Security\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\n<\/rect><\/rect><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\n\n\n

You have completed penetration tests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You have fixed vulnerabilities and want to know if the organization is truly resilient to targeted attacks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\n\n\n

Your organization is growing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

People, systems, and the supply chain are increasing. With every change, the attack surface grows. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/rect><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\n\n\n

You must meet legal obligations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Cybersecurity Act (No. 264\/2025 Coll.) and Decree No. 409\/2025 Coll. require regulated service providers under the higher obligation regime to evaluate the effectiveness of implemented measures at least once a year. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/circle><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\n\n\n

You have an internal SOC or blue team<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You want to verify whether your analysts actually detect and stop an attack in real time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/circle><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\n\n\n

Management wants tangible evidence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not a checklist report, but a real attack simulation with a clear result: we came, we got in, and this is how it can be fixed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\n\n\n

Types of Red Teaming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on what you want to verify, we choose one of three scenarios\u2013or a combination thereof:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtual Red Teaming (online)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An attack conducted exclusively remotely via digital channels. We focus on network infrastructure, servers, cloud environments, web and internal applications, email, and VPNs. It also includes spear-phishing and vishing targeted at specific employees. Suitable for organizations with distributed work and cloud-first environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physical Red Teaming<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We simulate an attacker’s physical access to the organization’s premises. We use techniques such as tailgating (entering behind an authorized person), cloning access cards, impersonation, planting infected USB devices, and physical access to server rooms, printers, or unprotected workstations. It reveals security gaps that an IT audit will never uncover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assumed Breach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A scenario in which we skip the initial intrusion and start at the point where the attacker is already in your internal network. We simulate the attacker’s behavior after gaining access: lateral movement through the network, privilege escalation, access to sensitive data, persistence, and covering tracks. Ideal for organizations that want to specifically test the detection and response capabilities of their security team or SOC. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

\n

How does Red Teaming work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Red teaming is a structured process, not an improvised attack. Every project goes through these phases: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
1<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Definition of goals and rules<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Together, we define the target assets (flags), Rules of Engagement, scope, timeframe, and communication protocols. We sign an NDA and a Statement of Work. We do not start without this foundation. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
2<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Reconnaissance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Passive collection of information about the organization from publicly available sources. We map employee email addresses, technologies used, subdomains, social media exposure, and job advertisements that reveal internal technologies. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
3<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Attack Phase<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Active attack using all agreed-upon vectors: exploitation of technical vulnerabilities, phishing campaigns, physical entry attempts, and social engineering. We map techniques according to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
4<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lateral Movement and Escalation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After the initial intrusion, we continue deeper into the network: searching for other systems, escalating privileges, and moving toward the target assets. We monitor when\u2013and if at all\u2013your security team detects us. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
5<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Output and Debriefing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We prepare a detailed report and present the results to your team, including a Blue Team debrief\u2013a joint analysis of where gaps in detection and response were identified.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
