Industry-aligned Scenarios

We assess your threat landscape and goals to recommend tailored threat scenarios aligned with your security and compliance needs.

Challenges we solve

Elevating Red Team Impact
  • Limited Realism in Security Testing – Emulate real adversary TTPs to move beyond canned simulations, delivering authentic attack scenarios that test defenses across the full kill chain.

  • Ineffective Detection Coverage – Expose gaps in detection and response by safely mimicking advanced threats, helping red and blue teams validate what’s working—and what’s not.

  • Disjointed Red Team Engagements – Provide structured, repeatable adversary emulation that integrates seamlessly with blue and purple team workflows, maximizing the impact of red team operations.

Continuous Security Control Assurance
  • Unverified Tool Performance – Continuously test EDR, SIEM, firewall, and other controls to ensure they detect, alert, and respond as expected.

  • Stale or Static Security Posture – Replace one-time assessments with ongoing validation to keep pace with evolving threats and infrastructure changes.

  • Lack of Measurable Security Effectiveness – Provide clear, repeatable metrics that track improvements and demonstrate ROI across your security stack.

Turning Emulation into Actionable Risk Insights
  • Prioritized Exposure Remediation – Translate technical findings into clear, business-aligned actions that help teams focus on what matters most.

  • Context-Rich Threat Intelligence – Link findings to real-world adversary behavior, giving teams the "why" behind every detection gap or missed control.

  • Data-Driven Security Decisions – Equip leadership with measurable insights to threat exposure risk, guiding resource allocation, roadmap planning, and continuous improvement.

You don’t need to have tens or hundreds of analysts, a blue team, a red team, or cyber-intelligence experts to implement a purple team. You just need great security people interested in researching and understanding attacks. To start, you just need one TTP and a tool capable of receiving logs and generating alerts.
