Red Team assessments by Neo Security
Advanced adversary simulation targeting your crown jewels
Red Team assessments
Realistic attack simulations that go beyond traditional pentests. Long-term campaigns where we actually try to compromise your organization – just like real attackers would.
We don't just test if we can "get in", but primarily how well your organization detects, responds, and recovers. From first IOC to full incident timeline.
One realistic end-to-end attack, instead of separate technical checks.
What does a Red Team assessment look like?
A pre-defined "mission" (e.g. domain admin or access to a specific system), with realistic constraints and rules of engagement. We combine technical, human, and potentially physical attack vectors.
Important: the exercise is as much a test of processes and people as it is of technology. We look at logging, monitoring, triage, and decision-making.
What you get afterwards:
A complete attack timeline, lessons learned, and a concrete improvement plan for blue, red, and purple team activities.
What is Red Teaming?
Red teaming goes beyond penetration testing. Where a pentest focuses on finding vulnerabilities, a red team operation simulates a complete adversary campaign - from initial reconnaissance to data exfiltration.
“A red team engagement is not 'how fast can we get in', but 'how long can we remain undetected while achieving our objectives'. It's about realism, not bravado.”

Pentest vs Red Team
Penetration Test:
Finds vulnerabilities, 1-2 weeks, broad spectrum
Red Team Operation:
Simulates attackers, 2-12 weeks, specific objectives

Ready for a real test?
A red team operation is a serious commitment - both for us and for you. We always start with an extensive intake to determine if red teaming is the right approach for your organization.
Minimum engagement: 2 weeks. Average duration: 4-6 weeks. Extended campaigns: 3+ months.
