Red Teaming

Red Teaming is a full-scope, adversary emulation exercise that tests not just your defenses, but your organization's ability to detect, respond, and recover from realistic cyberattacks. Kushonu's Red Team engagements are stealthy, strategic, and tailored to your risk landscape.

What is Red Teaming?

Red Teaming is an advanced security testing method where ethical hackers simulate targeted, persistent attacks against your organization—from both digital and physical entry points. It goes beyond vulnerability scanning or penetration testing by emulating real-world threat actors with specific goals.

Our Red Teams think like attackers but act with your safety in mind.

Unlike traditional tests that only validate defenses, red teaming evaluates detection and response mechanisms, coordination between teams, and organizational resilience.

What We Simulate

  • ✔️Phishing and Spear Phishing Campaigns: Test employee awareness and email filtering.
  • ✔️Credential Harvesting & Social Engineering: Evaluate susceptibility to impersonation.
  • ✔️Lateral Movement within Internal Networks: Discover risks from compromised endpoints.
  • ✔️Web App and API Exploitation: Identify critical weaknesses and pivot paths.
  • ✔️Cloud Environment Breaches: Assess misconfigurations, token exposure, and privilege escalation.
  • ✔️Physical Intrusion Attempts: Badge cloning, tailgating, and device drop tests.

Each operation is tailored to mimic a targeted attack scenario based on your industry’s threat profile.

Our Red Teaming Methodology

Planning

Collaboratively define engagement scope, objectives, threat actors to emulate, and ROE (Rules of Engagement)

Reconnaissance

Passive and active information gathering on infrastructure, personnel, and applications

Exploitation

Leverage discovered weaknesses to gain initial access and escalate privileges

Persistence & Movement

Maintain access, explore critical assets, and simulate data exfiltration

Reporting & Debrief

Detailed technical findings, detection timelines, executive summaries, and improvement plans

Scenarios We Offer

  • ✔️External Threat Simulation (APT-style attacks, remote exploitation)
  • ✔️Internal Threat Simulation (compromised insider or employee)
  • ✔️Physical Security Bypass (onsite badge cloning, workstation compromise)
  • ✔️Cloud Compromise Simulation (token theft, IAM misconfigurations)
  • ✔️Red vs Blue Exercises (live monitoring and defense validation)

Benefits of Red Teaming

  • ✔️Validate your detection and response strategies
  • ✔️Reveal inter-team coordination gaps
  • ✔️Assess the effectiveness of SIEM, SOC, and incident response
  • ✔️Improve your cyber resilience through realistic threat exposure
  • ✔️Foster executive awareness and justify security investments

Why Choose Kushonu for Code Review?

  • ✔️Multidisciplinary Expertise: Red teamers with offensive security, physical security, and social engineering backgrounds.
  • ✔️TTP-Based Simulations: Realistic emulation using MITRE ATT&CK framework, APT tactics, and current threat intel.
  • ✔️Minimal Disruption: Engagements are crafted to avoid service interruptions while still testing your core capabilities.
  • ✔️Collaborative Aftercare: Post-engagement workshops, remediation guidance, and support for blue team improvements.

We ensure the red team challenge helps you build stronger defense, not fear.

Frequently asked questions
Will this affect live systems?

No. All testing is carried out under strict controls defined in the planning phase. Systems are not harmed

Is red teaming legal and ethical?

Absolutely. Every action is consented, scoped, and documented. We follow strict ethical guidelines.

What kind of organizations need this?

Highly regulated industries (finance, healthcare), SaaS platforms, enterprises with mature security posture, or those preparing for targeted threats.

Can red teaming be combined with training?

Yes! We offer Purple Team add-ons to pair simulation with immediate blue team skill-building.
