Adversary Simulation
Simulate real-world attacks to test how far an adversary could get — and how well your teams detect, respond, and recover.
RED TEAMING
Detection & Response
WHAT IS RED TEAMING AT ARGONSEC?
ArgonSec's Red Team engagement is a realistic adversary simulation that tests how your organization would hold up against a targeted attack.
We assess security across people, processes and technology. Our team emulates real-world attacker behavior, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, to test not only your preventive controls but also your ability to detect, investigate, respond and recover.
Engagements may include phishing, social engineering, external attack surface exploitation, custom payloads, privilege escalation, lateral movement and attempts to reach agreed high-value targets. Every scenario is built around clear objectives, defined scope and rules of engagement.
The goal is not just to find vulnerabilities. It is to show how far an attacker could get, which controls worked, where detection failed and how your SOC and security operations can improve.
HOW IT WORKS

OBJECTIVES & RECONNAISSANCE
We define the engagement goals, target assets, scope, and success criteria, then gather OSINT and map the attack surface to identify realistic entry points.

ADVERSARY SIMULATION & POST-ACCESS ACTIONS
We simulate real-world attack techniques, from phishing and external exploitation to privilege escalation, lateral movement, persistence, and access to agreed high-value targets.
DETECTION REVIEW & EXECUTIVE DEBRIEF
We analyze what was detected, what was missed, how your teams responded, and deliver a detailed report with attack paths, timelines, evidence, and improvement priorities.

TESTING PHASES
PLANNING & OBJECTIVES
-
Goal Definition: Define what the red team should attempt (e.g., domain access, data exfiltration).
-
Rules of Engagement: Establish boundaries, escalation protocols, and safe words.
-
Threat Actor Profiling: Choose attacker type: insider, external, criminal, nation-state.
-
OSINT Collection: Gather employee data, exposed credentials, domains, and infrastructure.
-
Attack Surface Mapping: Identify entry points, shadow assets, and misconfigurations.
-
Target Prioritization: Select weakest links or high-value users and systems.
RECONNAISSANCE
INITIAL ACCESS & EXPLOITATION
-
Phishing/Vishing: Deliver crafted messages or impersonation calls to gain access.
-
Credential Attacks: Use password spraying, reused creds, or breach data.
-
Physical Intrusion (Optional): Attempt on-site access using pretext or cloned badges.
POST-EXPLOITATION & MOVEMENT
-
Privilege Escalation: Abuse misconfigurations, ACLs, or credential reuse.
-
Lateral Movement: Move through infrastructure using harvested tokens or admin paths.
-
Persistence & Exfiltration: Simulate data theft or domain-level persistence.
ANALYSIS & REPORTING
-
Timeline Mapping: Reconstruct every action, tool, and technique used.
-
Detection Check: Mark what was detected, delayed, or missed entirely.
-
Remediation Plan: Provide prioritized defensive fixes and blue team recommendations.
Real attackers do not test one control at a time. They chain weaknesses across people, processes, and technology until they reach their objective.
At ArgonSec, we run Red Teaming engagements with the mindset of a modern adversary. We combine reconnaissance, social engineering, technical exploitation, stealth, persistence, and post-access actions to test how your organization detects and responds to a real attack.
Every step is planned, controlled, documented, and mapped to clear objectives. We show how initial access was gained, how far the attack could progress, which controls worked, where detection failed, and how quickly your team responded.
Our goal is not just to prove that compromise is possible. It is to help you strengthen detection, response, and resilience before a real adversary gets the chance.
