Red Team/Adversary Simulation

Red Teaming simulates real-world attacks across your digital, physical, and human assets to reveal how adversaries could breach your defences, move through your environment, and access critical systems, giving you a clear picture of your true security posture and how to strengthen it.

What We Test during Red Teams

At AnchorSec, our Red Teaming service provides a true-to-life simulation of advanced cyber attacks, designed to assess your organisation’s resilience against skilled, persistent adversaries. Unlike traditional penetration testing, which typically focuses on identifying and exploiting technical vulnerabilities in isolation, Red Teaming is goal-driven and holistic. We replicate the behaviour of real-world threat actors across the full attack lifecycle. Testing not just your technology, but your people and processes too.

These engagements are designed to answer a critical question: How effectively can your organisation detect, respond to, and contain a stealthy, targeted attack?

We work closely with you to define meaningful objectives that reflect your key risks, whether that’s unauthorised access to sensitive data, compromise of critical infrastructure, or bypassing physical security controls. Our team uses a combination of open-source intelligence (OSINT), social engineering, custom tooling, and post-exploitation techniques to emulate the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) of real adversaries.

All activity is carried out safely, under clearly defined rules of engagement, and with minimal disruption to your business. A dedicated point of contact remains in place throughout the assessment to manage communications and ensure control at every stage.

Our Red Team assessments commonly include

Reconnaissance: External footprint mapping, OSINT collection, and identification of attack paths
Initial Access: Phishing campaigns, credential reuse, or exploitation of internet-facing services
Social Engineering: Targeted attacks against personnel to gain access or manipulate internal users
Privilege Escalation: Gaining elevated access within compromised environments

Lateral Movement: Navigating internal systems to reach defined objectives
Persistence & Evasion: Deploying techniques to maintain access and avoid detection
Data Access & Exfiltration: Achieving the agreed goal and simulating impact
Physical Intrusion (optional): Tailgating, device planting, or badge cloning
