Full-Scope Adversary Simulation
Unlike a standard red team, adversary simulation emulates a named threat actor — their infrastructure, their tools, their playbooks. We give your defenders the most realistic test possible: not a generic attacker, but the specific adversary that targets organisations like yours.
We build custom implants that mirror known malware families, configure C2 infrastructure to match actor patterns, and execute techniques in the sequence that threat intelligence indicates the actor uses. Every action is logged against the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
Adversary simulation is the gold standard for mature security programs that need to validate their defences against realistic, high-fidelity threats.

Their Playbook. Our Execution.
Threat Actor Selection & Intelligence Gathering
We work with you to select the threat actor most relevant to your sector and geography — whether that's Lazarus Group, Cobalt Group, or a sector-specific threat cluster. We gather current threat intelligence on their TTPs.
TTP Mapping to MITRE ATT&CK
Every tactic, technique, and sub-technique used by the target threat actor is mapped to ATT&CK. We build an execution plan that replicates their known tradecraft as closely as possible.
Infrastructure Replication & Execution
We build infrastructure that mirrors the threat actor's known patterns — C2 profiles, malware signatures, tooling, and network indicators. We then execute the simulation against your environment.
Detection Gap Analysis & Purple Team
Post-execution, we conduct a detailed analysis of which techniques were detected, which were missed, and why. We run a purple team session with your defenders to close the gaps.
Bespoke by Design
Every adversary simulation engagement is bespoke — designed around the threat actor and your environment.
