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

Critical data and intellectual property
Key systems and infrastructure
Employees and human processes
Business processes and workflows
Third-party integrations and supply chain

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.
