Red Team Assessment

Social engineering & human attack surface: targeted phishing, voice phishing (vishing), SMS/WhatsApp deception, USB drop simulations, and insider recruitment scenarios to evaluate employee awareness and escalation practices.

Technical & application vectors: exploitation of web and API endpoints, lateral movement, privilege escalation, malware-less attacks, identity and access misconfigurations, and exploitation of CI/CD and model management pipelines.

Cloud & infrastructure: misconfigured IAM roles, insecure storage buckets, container escape attempts, exposed secrets, and weaknesses in orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, serverless functions).

Supply chain & third-party risk: abuse of vendor access, poisoned updates, or compromised open-source components that could propagate into your environment.

Physical security & on-premises controls: badge cloning, tailgating, and access to insecure workstations or network jacks (performed only with explicit scope approval).

Process & governance gaps: policy bypass, incident escalation failures, inadequate segmentation, and weaknesses in backup/restore and rollback procedures.

Intelligence & reconnaissance: open-source and internal intel to map assets, personnel, vendor relationships, and potential attack vectors.

Threat scenario & objective setting: define high-value goals (e.g., data exfiltration, control of critical systems, unauthorized model manipulation) aligned to business risk.

Campaign execution: stealthy, staged attacks combining technical exploits, social engineering, and lateral maneuvers while avoiding destructive actions.

Detection & response evaluation: document detection timelines, alert quality, analyst workflows, and containment actions — including false positives and missed signals.

Containment & safe proof-of-concept: demonstrate impact with reproducible, non-destructive proofs and immediately disable any active artifacts.

Debrief & remediation: tactical fix recommendations, prioritized risk remediation, and playbook improvements; followed by optional retest or purple-team collaboration to validate fixes.
