IOActive Red Team Exercise is a professional service that simulates real-world cyberattacks to assess an organization's security readiness. The service employs ethical cybersecurity experts who use tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) based on actual threat actors such as FIN7 and APT29 to test an organization's ability to prevent, detect, and respond to security incidents. The service goes beyond traditional penetration testing by conducting full adversary emulation exercises that assess technologies, people, and physical controls. Red team consultants develop attack scenarios guided by threat modeling and current threat intelligence, creating realistic threat emulation campaigns that mirror the behavior of real attackers. The exercises evaluate an organization's security personnel, processes, and technologies through measurable objectives. Activities include simulating attack campaigns, testing defense mechanisms, identifying attack paths, mapping lateral movement across networks, conducting physical intrusion attempts, creating exploit chains, and assessing blue team response capabilities. IOActive offers multiple engagement types including black box (no insider information), gray box (limited information), and white box exercises such as Assumed Breach Scenarios. The service provides metrics to judge the effectiveness of existing security investments and helps organizations tune security controls based on attacker behaviors. The red team service is part of IOActive's broader threat emulation offerings, which also include purple team exercises, physical security assessments, and social engineering tests.
