Offensive Security & Assessment
Red, Blue & Purple Teaming
Interactive exercises and adversary emulation that measure how well your people, processes and tools detect and respond.
Overview
Test your defenses against the real thing.
Interactive red, blue and purple team exercises demonstrate the full spectrum of risk to your organization and its actual resiliency. CDT emulates the tactics, techniques and procedures of real adversaries, mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, to show whether your security controls detect, prevent and respond to specific attack scenarios, and where they don't.
What's included
Capabilities
Red team operations
Objective-based campaigns that test your organization end to end, from initial access to mission impact.
Adversary emulation
Automated and manual emulation with platforms such as Atomic Red Team, Caldera and Prelude Operator, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.
Purple team exercises
Our operators and your defenders side by side, tuning detections in real time.
External threat simulation
Realistic attacks from outside adversaries to test your perimeter and response.
Insider threat simulation
The actions of malicious or careless insiders, employees, contractors and partners, to test detection of internal risk.
In-depth penetration testing
Beyond standard testing: chained, stealthy attack paths that standard assessments miss.
How we work
A proven, repeatable process.
-
1
Scope & rules of engagement
We agree on objectives, targets, timing and safety limits with your team, so testing is realistic and never disruptive.
-
2
Reconnaissance & testing
Our operators map your attack surface and test it the way real adversaries do, by hand and with automation.
-
3
Exploitation & validation
We chain findings to prove real-world impact, and tell you immediately if we find something critical.
-
4
Reporting & readout
Clear, prioritized findings mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, with an executive summary and technical detail for engineers.
-
5
Remediation & retest
We help you fix what matters most, then retest to confirm the gaps are closed.
