Red Team Service
Test your people, processes, and technology with Lostar’s Red Team service through controlled scenarios that simulate real-world attacker behavior, and evaluate your organization’s detection, response, and defensive capabilities.
Schedule a Red Team AssessmentWhat Is a Red Team Service?
A Red Team service is an advanced cybersecurity assessment that evaluates an organization’s people, processes, and technology through controlled scenarios that simulate real-world attacker behavior. This approach goes beyond identifying technical vulnerabilities by measuring how effectively the organization can detect, respond to, and contain cyberattacks.
Lostar Red Team experts design targeted attack scenarios based on the organization’s critical assets, attack surface, security controls, and operational priorities. During the assessment, networks, applications, identities, privileges, human factors, and security operations are evaluated together.
The results reveal not only attack paths and technical findings, but also the effectiveness of SOC, SIEM, EDR, and incident response processes against realistic attacker behavior.
Realistic Attack Scenarios
Organization-specific attack scenarios are used to test how effectively defensive mechanisms perform under real-world conditions.
Defense Capability Analysis
We measure at which stage SOC, SIEM, EDR, and security teams detect attacks and how quickly they are able to respond.
Comprehensive Security Assessment
In addition to technical vulnerabilities, processes, human factors, authorization structures, and security operations are evaluated together.
How Is a Red Team Service Conducted?
Lostar Red Team engagements consist of multi-stage assessments that simulate real-world attacker behavior. The objective is not only to identify security vulnerabilities, but also to measure the organization’s ability to detect and respond to attacks.
Reconnaissance and Target Analysis
The organization’s digital assets, infrastructure, and potential attack surfaces are analyzed.
Attack Simulation
Attack scenarios are carried out against target systems using techniques commonly employed by real-world threat actors.
Detection and Response Analysis
The assessment evaluates how quickly security teams detect attacks and how effectively they respond.
Reporting and Improvement
Assessment results are presented in detailed reports together with recommendations to strengthen the organization’s defensive capabilities.
What Does the Red Team Service Cover?
Red Team assessments go beyond technical vulnerabilities by testing the organization’s entire attack surface and defensive mechanisms through realistic attack scenarios.
External Network Attack Simulation
Attacks that could originate from external networks are simulated to test systems and services exposed to the internet.
Internal Network Attack Scenarios
Potential attacks originating from within the organization are evaluated, including lateral movement opportunities across internal systems.
Social Engineering Tests
Employee-targeted attack scenarios are used to assess security risks associated with the human factor.
Identity and Privilege Abuse
Privilege escalation and credential compromise techniques are used to test potential access paths to critical systems.
Persistence Scenarios
The assessment analyzes whether an attacker could maintain long-term access to systems without being detected.
Security Operations Testing
The ability of SOC and security teams to detect and respond to attacks quickly and effectively is measured.
What Is the Difference Between Red Teaming and Penetration Testing?
While penetration testing focuses on identifying technical vulnerabilities in specific systems, Red Team engagements evaluate an organization’s overall defensive capabilities against realistic attack scenarios. For technical security assessments of specific applications, networks, and systems, you can explore the Lostar Penetration Testing Plus service.
Identifies technical vulnerabilities.
Focuses on identifying security vulnerabilities in specific applications, networks, or systems. The scope is generally asset- and vulnerability-focused.
Measures defensive capabilities.
Evaluates people, processes, and technology together. It measures how effectively the organization detects attacks and how its teams respond.
A Red Team engagement provides strategic validation for organizations that want to understand how effectively their security investments perform against real-world attacker behavior.
Who Is the Red Team Service For?
Red Team engagements are suitable for organizations that want to measure their security maturity, test their defensive capabilities, and protect critical assets more effectively.
Organizations Using SOC or SIEM
Measure how quickly and accurately security monitoring infrastructure detects attacker behavior.
Organizations with Critical Data
Suitable for organizations that need to protect customer data, financial information, intellectual property, or critical systems.
Highly Regulated Industries
Provides value to industries with high security requirements, including finance, energy, telecommunications, technology, and manufacturing.
Organizations Measuring Security Investments
Shows how EDR, SIEM, SOC, and incident response processes perform under realistic attack scenarios.
How Are Red Team Scenarios Defined?
An effective Red Team engagement is not based on random attack attempts. Instead, it consists of targeted scenarios designed around the organization’s actual risk profile, critical assets, and operational priorities.
When developing the threat profile, international frameworks such as the MITRE ATT&CK adversary emulation and Red Team approach are used to model the tactics, techniques, and procedures employed by real-world attackers. Scenarios are then customized according to the organization’s industry and the threats it is most likely to face.
Identifying Critical Assets
The organization’s most critical systems, data assets, and business processes are identified to define the objectives of the scenario.
Building the Threat Profile
Realistic attack paths are designed based on the organization’s industry, operational structure, and potential threat actors.
Controlled Operation Planning
Scope, communication flow, stop conditions, and reporting structure are clearly defined before the engagement begins.
What Deliverables Are Provided After a Red Team Engagement?
The value of a Red Team engagement goes beyond executing attack scenarios. The findings are translated into an organization-specific action plan that supports measurable security improvements.
Executive Summary
Critical findings, risk levels, and business impact are summarized in a clear format for management teams.
Technical Findings
Attack paths, techniques used, identified weaknesses, and technical evidence are documented in detail for security teams.
Detection and Response Analysis
The assessment shows when security teams detected each attack stage and how effectively they responded.
Prioritized Actions
Technical and operational recommendations are prioritized according to risk level and potential business impact.
Security Maturity Overview
The organization’s prevention, detection, and response capabilities are evaluated from a holistic perspective.
Improvement Roadmap
A practical roadmap is provided with short-, medium-, and long-term actions designed to strengthen overall security capabilities.
How Does Red Teaming Support Blue Team and Purple Team Processes?
Provides visibility for the Blue Team.
Findings from the engagement can be used to improve Blue Team detection and response processes. Teams gain clearer visibility into which attack stages were detected, which were missed, and how alert quality can be improved.
Accelerates learning through a Purple Team approach.
Red Team and Blue Team capabilities can be brought together within a shared improvement process. The goal is not only to remediate vulnerabilities, but also to help the organization detect attacks earlier and respond more effectively.
