Red-Team & Adversarial Testing
Prove the posture. Expose the path. Sequence remediation.
Red-Team & Adversarial Testing is an engagement to validate security posture under realistic conditions. We test assumptions, identify exploitable pathways, and produce findings that are actionable and defensible.
This engagement is designed to convert “we believe we’re covered” into “we can prove what holds, what fails, and what changes next.”
Mandate
- Define success criteria tied to business consequence, not novelty.
- Design adversarial scenarios appropriate to the client environment.
- Execute controlled testing with documentation and escalation gates.
- Deliver prioritized remediation sequencing based on impact and feasibility.
- Provide evidence artifacts suitable for executive, audit, or counsel review.
Common Triggers
- Leadership needs proof of posture before expansion, launch, or exposure.
- Repeated incidents suggest hidden pathways are being missed.
- Vendor reports are strong, but confidence is not evidence.
- High-risk facilities, executives, or events require verified controls.
- Board or insurer scrutiny requires defensible testing outcomes.
When testing reveals active exploitation or credible imminent risk, the engagement transitions into an incident cadence to stabilize decisions while containment occurs. Crisis Response
