Test what your defenders can actually detect.
Test detection and response using controlled attacker behavior and collaborative validation.
Practical evidence.
Actionable priorities.
We plan controlled adversary simulation activities with the customer’s security team to examine visibility, escalation and response. Our project-led specialist model supports short, focused validations without positioning every engagement as a full-scale Red Team operation.
Project-led by CySource.
Scope, communication, delivery coordination and quality review are led by CySource. Technical work is assigned to independent specialists chosen for the engagement’s technologies and objectives.
What the engagement can cover.
Final work areas and outputs depend on the agreed statement of work, authorized access and operating constraints.
Typical assessment scope
- Threat-informed scenarios mapped to agreed techniques
- Endpoint, cloud, identity or network attack emulation
- Detection coverage and telemetry validation
- Purple Team workshops with security operations
- Targeted retest of updated detections and response workflow
Expected deliverables
- Authorized objectives, constraints and exercise plan
- Observed detections, missed signals and response evidence
- Detection engineering and response improvement actions
- After-action debrief and lessons learned
- Optional follow-up validation exercise
A disciplined path
from scope to findings.
Clear boundaries, accountable coordination and quality-reviewed findings are central to every managed assessment.
- Select relevant techniques and operational objectives
- Agree rules of engagement, stop conditions and safety contacts
- Align specialist operators with the customer’s blue team
- Run controlled simulations and document observations
- Review detections, remediation priorities and next tests
This is usually a scoped Purple Team / validation engagement. Full covert Red Team operations are considered only by custom scoping, with explicit authorization and safety oversight.
Build on what you learn.
Validated findings can inform subsequent testing, workforce development or realistic cyber exercises.
