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 ARGON?

Red Teaming is a realistic adversary simulation designed to test how your organization would perform under a targeted attack.

At Argon Cyber Security, we assess security across people, processes, and technology. Our team emulates real-world attacker behavior to test not only your preventive controls, but also your ability to detect, investigate, respond, and recover.

The engagement 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 planned around clear objectives, defined scope, and realistic attacker tactics.

The goal is not just to find vulnerabilities. It is to understand how far an attacker could get, which controls worked, where detection failed, and how your 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 Argon Cyber Security, 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.
