Adversary Simulation Services

Adversary simulation, scoped to real threats

Generic red teams run a generic playbook. Adversary simulation starts from intelligence: which threat groups actually target your sector, what tactics, techniques and procedures they use, and how your specific environment would hold up against them. We build the scenario from that profile, then execute it end to end, initial access, persistence, privilege escalation, lateral movement, and objective, exactly as the modelled actor would.

Every action is mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and executed under strict rules of engagement with a standing abort line. The goal is not to “win”, it is to produce a truthful picture of how far a realistic, funded adversary gets before your people, process and technology stop them.

Emulate a named actor, or run continuously

For a point-in-time answer, we emulate a specific threat actor relevant to your sector, financial-crime groups for banks, ransomware affiliates for manufacturing and healthcare, and report how your defences performed against that profile. For teams that ship and change constantly, we run adversary simulation as a recurring programme, re-testing key attack paths each cycle so a new gap introduced by last month’s deployment does not sit open for a year.

Threat intelligence here is a deliverable, a targeting report built for your entity, not a platform you have to subscribe to. Regulated frameworks (TIBER-EU, CBEST, DORA TLPT, SAMA FEER) require exactly this intelligence-led approach, and we deliver it in a form your regulator accepts.

What you leave with

An ATT&CK-mapped attack narrative showing every step from initial access to objective, a defensive-gap analysis tied to the specific techniques that succeeded, a detection and response scorecard (what fired, what didn’t, how long it took), and a prioritised remediation roadmap. For programme clients, a trend line across cycles that proves the direction of travel to your board.

How an adversary simulation runs

Intelligence first, then a controlled end-to-end emulation of a real threat actor.
