Why CISOs Choose Vaeto Red Teaming

Real-World APT Simulation

Simulating sophisticated nation-state attack tactics, custom C2 implants, and silent lateral movement.

SOC & SIEM Benchmark

Evaluating your internal SOC alert timelines, EDR coverage, and real-time threat detection efficacy.

Purple Team Remediation

Collaborative debrief workshop with your security team to tune SIEM rules and fill detection gaps.

30-Day Re-Testing SLA

Re-verify attack vectors after your SOC updates detection rules and domain security policies.

Red Team Attack Matrix

RED-01CRITICAL

Spear Phishing & Credential Harvesting Operations

Simulating targeted email phishing campaigns with custom landing pages to evaluate employee security awareness.

RED-02CRITICAL

Command & Control (C2) Infrastructure Setup

Establishing covert C2 communication channels (Cobalt Strike, Havoc, Mythic) bypassing EDR and SIEM detection.

RED-03CRITICAL

Initial Access & Perimeter Exploit Delivery

Exploiting external perimeter vulnerabilities, exposed VPN portals, or stolen employee OAuth tokens to gain initial foothold.

RED-04CRITICAL

Active Directory Domain Takeover & DCSync

Executing Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, BloodHound path navigation, and DCSync attacks to capture Domain Admin.

RED-05HIGH

EDR Evasion & Process Injection Techniques

Bypassing CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Defender for Endpoint using direct syscalls, unhooking, and DLL side-loading.

RED-06HIGH

Internal Lateral Movement & Network Pivoting

Pivoting across enterprise subnets via SMB, WinRM, SSH, and RDP tunnels without triggering SOC security alerts.

RED-07HIGH

Physical Onsite Breach & Rogue Hardware Drop

Simulating physical office unauthorized entry (tailgating, badge cloning) to deploy rogue network implants.

RED-08HIGH

Data Exfiltration & Flag Capture Demonstration

Safely demonstrating covert exfiltration of simulated sensitive crown-jewel assets over encrypted DNS/HTTPS tunnels.

RED-09MEDIUM

SOC Detection & Blue Team Response Evaluation

Benchmarking your Security Operations Center (SOC) detection timelines, alert coverage, and incident response SLA.

RED-10CRITICAL

Post-Exploitation Persistence & Golden Ticket

Establishing long-term persistence via Golden Ticket creation, scheduled tasks, and rogue WMI event subscriptions.

Red Team Assessment FAQ

How does a Red Team Assessment differ from a standard Penetration Test?
Penetration testing focuses on discovering as many technical vulnerabilities as possible across specific targets. Red Teaming is a full-scope adversary simulation that tests your organization's overall security posture, human readiness, physical security, and SOC detection capabilities.
Are Red Team Assessments safe for production enterprise environments?
Does Red Teaming include physical social engineering and badge cloning?
Will our internal SOC or IT team know about the Red Team test in advance?
What is the Purple Team Debrief workshop?
What deliverables will leadership receive after Red Team operations?
