Red Team
Testing
Simulation of real-world sophisticated adversaries using threat-informed reconnaissance, experience, tenacity, and custom tools — often written during the engagement itself
Our Red Team Approach
KoreLogic red team engagements simulate real-world sophisticated adversaries. We combine threat-informed reconnaissance with deep experience, pure tenacity, and custom tools — frequently developed during the engagement itself — to test your organization's defenses against determined attackers.
Collaborative Target Identification
We work directly with your team to identify what matters most — critical data, key systems, essential infrastructure, employees, and business processes. This collaborative scoping ensures the engagement tests the scenarios that would cause real damage.
Threat-Informed Reconnaissance
Deep reconnaissance informed by real threat intelligence — identifying attack paths that a sophisticated adversary would actually pursue against your specific environment, industry, and technology stack.
Custom Tooling & Tenacity
Our testers bring experience and persistence, frequently writing custom tools during the engagement to exploit the specific weaknesses discovered in your environment — just as a real adversary would.
Post-Test Collaboration
The engagement doesn't end when testing stops. We collaborate with your team to walk through the test narrative, improve detection and deterrence, and perform root cause analysis of every vulnerability exploited.
Target Categories
Red Team Engagement Model
Every red team engagement follows a structured lifecycle — from collaborative scoping through active testing to post-engagement analysis and improvement planning.
Scoping & Target Selection
Collaborative sessions with your team to identify critical targets, define rules of engagement, and establish threat scenarios that reflect real adversary motivations.
- • Joint target identification
- • Threat scenario development
- • Rules of engagement definition
- • Success criteria agreement
Active Operations
Sustained adversary simulation combining reconnaissance, exploitation, and lateral movement using both established techniques and custom tooling developed on the fly.
- • Threat-informed reconnaissance
- • Custom tool development
- • Multi-vector attack execution
- • Persistent access and lateral movement
Detection & Deterrence Analysis
Collaborative review of what your defenses caught, what they missed, and specific improvements to strengthen detection and deterrence capabilities.
- • Detection gap identification
- • Alert tuning recommendations
- • Monitoring improvement guidance
- • Deterrence strategy development
Root Cause Analysis
Deep analysis of how each exploited vulnerability came to exist and specific recommendations to prevent recurrence — addressing systemic issues, not just symptoms.
- • Vulnerability origin analysis
- • Systemic weakness identification
- • Process improvement recommendations
- • Recurrence prevention strategies
Post-Testing Deliverables
Test Narrative
Detailed chronological account of every action taken, what was attempted, what succeeded, and what was discovered at each stage
Detection Guidance
Specific recommendations for how to detect and deter similar attacks based on what your defenses caught and what they missed
Root Cause Analysis
Analysis of how each exploited vulnerability came to exist and recommendations to prevent recurrence
Executive Summary
Business-focused overview of organizational resilience with strategic recommendations for leadership
Collaborative Reporting
Red team deliverables go beyond a list of findings. We provide a complete test narrative and work directly with your team to translate results into meaningful security improvements.
