Validate Your Resilience: Simulate Advanced Threats to Fortify Your Enterprise
CypherLeap's adversarial simulations, also known as Red Team Operations, represent the highest level of security testing. We go beyond typical penetration tests by mimicking the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of sophisticated real-world threat actors. Our goal is to validate your resilience. We simulate advanced threats to fortify your enterprise, putting your people, processes, and technology to the test against a determined adversary. This complete assessment reveals systemic weaknesses and gaps in your ability to detect and respond, all before a genuine cyber incident occurs.
Our Offensive Security Services operators follow robust frameworks like CREST STAR and Threat-Informed Defence, leveraging Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common (MITRE ATT&CK, Enterprise Matrix) for authentic threat emulation.
Methodologies
Our Red Team engagements follow a structured, intelligence-driven approach that reflects the full attack lifecycle, including:
- Reconnaissance
- Initial Access
- Establish Foothold
- Privilege Escalation & Lateral Movement
- Objective Execution
- Detection and Response Evaluation
- Clean-Up & Reporting
Passive and active intelligence gathering to identify potential attack vectors.
Exploiting vulnerabilities, phishing, or social engineering to establish entry.
Deploying implants or persistence mechanisms to maintain access.
Navigating internal systems to identify high-value assets and escalate access.
Data exfiltration, access to sensitive systems, or other mission goals.
Measuring how well internal teams detect, contain, and respond to the intrusion.
Ensuring all tools are removed, and providing a full debrief and strategic recommendations.

Build a Threat-Ready Organisation
CypherLeap’s Adversarial Simulation services are ideal for organizations looking to:
• Stress-test their Blue Team and SOC under real attack pressure
• Validate incident response runbooks and escalation processes
• Comply with regulatory requirements (e.g., PCI DSS, ISO 27001, NIST CSF)
• Improve overall cyber maturity and board-level visibility
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Red Teaming the same as Penetration Testing?
No. Penetration Testing is scoped and time-boxed to find technical vulnerabilities. Red Teaming simulates a full-scale, stealthy adversary targeting the entire organization to test detection and response.
How long does a Red Team operation take?
Typically 4–8 weeks, depending on the complexity, goals, and coverage.
Will this disrupt our business operations?
Our team works closely with your leadership to ensure safe execution, limiting impact on critical systems and maintaining stealth to reflect a realistic threat scenario.
Can we include our internal SOC or Blue Team in the exercise?
Yes. You may choose a Black Box Red Team, or opt for Purple Teaming where our team collaborates with your defenders for enhanced detection tuning and learning.
