Beyond Penetration Testing
Standard penetration tests are essential, but they are limited by scope and time. They ask, "Can this specific door be unlocked?" Red Teaming asks a different question: "Can a motivated adversary compromise our Critical Business Functions by any means necessary?" It is not a test of your technology; it is a test of your entire organization—People, Processes, and Technology.
Simulating Real-World Threats
Our Red Teaming operations move beyond theoretical risks to simulate the reality of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and Organized Crime Groups (OCGs). We adopt a goal-oriented, stealthy approach. We do not just scan for vulnerabilities; we use social engineering, physical intrusion, custom malware, and lateral movement to bypass your defenses silently.
TIBER-EU & DORA TLPT Compliance
For financial entities, resilience is now a regulatory mandate. We specialize in delivering Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) in accordance with the TIBER-EU framework and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). These are not quick scans; they are multi-month, intelligence-led operations designed to stress-test your detection and response capabilities against the specific Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) of threat actors targeting your sector.
Core Capabilities
Adversary Emulation (TTPs)
We don't just "hack." We emulate the specific behaviors of known threat groups (e.g., Lazarus, FIN7) relevant to your industry, ensuring the test reflects your actual threat landscape.
Full-Spectrum Attack Vectors
We target the weakest link, whether that is an unpatched server, a gullible employee (Social Engineering), or an unlocked side door at your data center (Physical Intrusion).
Stealth & Evasion
Unlike pen testers who are "noisy," our Red Team operates in the shadows. We develop custom payloads and modify off-the-shelf tools to evade your EDR and SIEM, testing your team’s ability to detect subtle anomalies.
Critical Function Targeting
The goal is not Domain Admin; the goal is business impact. We attempt to compromise specific critical functions—such as SWIFT payment gateways or customer databases—to demonstrate real-world financial risk.
Purple Teaming De-Briefs
We don't just walk away. We conduct collaborative workshops with your Blue Team (Defenders) to replay the attack, revealing exactly how we got in and tuning your tools to detect us next time.
What is TIBER-EU & DORA TLPT?
For financial entities, high-end Red Teaming is no longer optional—it is a regulatory standard. We specialize in delivering intelligence-led operations that satisfy these specific European frameworks.
TIBER-EU (Threat Intelligence-based Ethical Red Teaming)
Developed by the European Central Bank (ECB), TIBER-EU is the gold standard framework for testing the resilience of financial market infrastructures. It requires tests to be "Intelligence-Led"—meaning the attack scenarios are based on real threat intelligence relevant to your specific sector, rather than generic attacks.
DORA TLPT (Threat-Led Penetration Testing)
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is the EU regulation that makes digital resilience mandatory. Under DORA, significant financial entities are required to perform Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) at least every three years. These tests must strictly follow the TIBER-EU methodology to be accepted by regulators.
Key Benefits
Measure True Response Time Stop guessing. Find out exactly how many days (or weeks) an attacker can operate inside your network before your SOC detects them (Mean Time to Detect - MTTD).
Regulatory Compliance (DORA) Satisfy the rigorous TLPT requirements of the DORA regulation and TIBER-EU framework with a fully documented, intelligence-led exercise that satisfies European regulators.
Expose "Logic" Gaps Technology often works, but processes fail. We expose the gaps between teams—like a phish reported to IT that was never escalated to Security—that allow attackers to survive.
Board-Level Assurance Provide your executive leadership with the ultimate validation. A passed Red Team exercise is the strongest evidence possible that your organization is resilient against sophisticated cyber warfare.
