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:

  1. Reconnaissance
  2. Passive and active intelligence gathering to identify potential attack vectors.

  3. Initial Access
  4. Exploiting vulnerabilities, phishing, or social engineering to establish entry.

  5. Establish Foothold
  6. Deploying implants or persistence mechanisms to maintain access.

  7. Privilege Escalation & Lateral Movement
  8. Navigating internal systems to identify high-value assets and escalate access.

  9. Objective Execution
  10. Data exfiltration, access to sensitive systems, or other mission goals.

  11. Detection and Response Evaluation
  12. Measuring how well internal teams detect, contain, and respond to the intrusion.

  13. Clean-Up & Reporting
  14. Ensuring all tools are removed, and providing a full debrief and strategic recommendations.

Why Choose Us

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.

Typically 4–8 weeks, depending on the complexity, goals, and coverage.

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.

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.
