Northwave Red Teaming is a professional adversary simulation service that conducts realistic attack simulations against organisations to assess and improve their cyber resilience. The service is structured around three tiers: - Advanced Red Team Exercise: A full attack simulation built on tailored threat intelligence, simulating a specific threat actor relevant to the target organisation. - Red Team Exercise: A realistic attack simulation designed to measure cyber resilience and train security specialists in responding to threats. - Assumed Breach: A constrained simulation where red team operators begin with internal network access, bypassing the initial compromise phase. The service follows a phased methodology: 1. Threat Intelligence – Identifying the organisation's threat landscape and building relevant attack scenarios. 2. IN – Gaining an initial foothold in the organisation's environment. 3. THROUGH – Lateral movement toward critical systems. 4. OUT – Reaching and extracting the organisation's "crown jewels." 5. Learning – Post-exercise purple teaming session where red team, blue team, and stakeholders replay attack scenarios and improve detection and response capabilities. Adversary emulation is available as an add-on, introducing actual tools used by nation-state groups to test defences against specific threat actors. The engagement concludes with a detailed report and countermeasures at operational, tactical, and strategic levels.
