Red Team Exercises

Full-scope adversarial simulation designed to test your organization's detection, response, and resilience against advanced persistent threats. 100+ intrusion exercises delivered with 5 proprietary tools.

Go Beyond Compliance Testing

Traditional penetration tests identify vulnerabilities. Red team exercises reveal whether your organization can detect, respond to, and contain a determined adversary operating across your entire attack surface — people, processes, and technology.

Our team brings over 14 years of red team operations experience and 100+ intrusion exercises across IBEX35 and financial sector clients. We deploy 5 proprietary tools (CERBERUS, CARONTE, QUIMERA, MAKHAI, KHAOS) alongside custom TTPs — remaining undetected throughout the engagement while Big 4 consultancies rely on off-the-shelf C2 frameworks.

What Gets Tested

  • • Perimeter security and external exposure
  • • Employee awareness and social engineering resilience
  • • SOC / CSIRT detection and response capabilities
  • • Internal segmentation and lateral movement barriers
  • • Physical security controls and access procedures
  • • Data exfiltration prevention mechanisms

Four Phases of Intrusion

Each engagement follows a structured methodology that mirrors real-world attack chains, adapted to your specific threat landscape and aligned with TIBER-EU for financial sector clients.

01

Reconnaissance & Target Profiling

Comprehensive intelligence gathering — OSINT, infrastructure mapping, employee profiling, technology fingerprinting, and supply chain analysis. This phase builds the operational picture needed to plan precise attack vectors against your specific environment.

02

Initial Access

Spear-phishing, vishing, physical intrusion, exploitation of external services, or supply chain compromise to establish a foothold. Custom payloads crafted with QUIMERA evade EDR/AV — tested against your specific endpoint protection stack before deployment.

03

Establishment & Persistence

CARONTE deploys automated persistence across DMZ, Cloud, AD, and workstation environments. CERBERUS handles Active Directory analysis, asset prioritization, and credential management for efficient privilege escalation and lateral movement.

04

Post-Exploitation & Objective Achievement

We pursue agreed objectives — data exfiltration, ransomware simulation with KHAOS, domain dominance, or critical infrastructure access — while MAKHAI manages C2 channels, proxy detection, and operational security throughout.

Operators, Not Scanners

SilentForce red team exercises are fully manual, operator-driven engagements. We don't run automated scanners and call it red teaming. Every action — from the initial phishing lure to the final data exfiltration — is performed by experienced operators making real-time decisions.

100% in-house team. Zero subcontracting. Unlike Deloitte, EY, and Accenture, we never outsource Red Team operations to third parties. Your IBEX35 security assessment is handled exclusively by full-time SilentForce operators.
