Red Teaming Assessments. Prove How Far Real Attackers Can Go.
Our red teaming assessments replace assumptions with evidence, simulating real adversaries across technical, human, physical, and identity vectors to show how attackers move through your environment, where defenses fail, and what actually puts the business at risk.
It is delivered as an expanded validation option inside our PTaaS solution, so every validated attack path and detection gap flows into the same platform, the same remediation process, and the same CTEM program as the rest of your testing.
Every Vector An Adversary Would Use.
Real attackers don’t limit themselves to one entry point. Each engagement is built around a realistic objective for your industry and threat profile, then combines technical exploitation, social engineering, physical intrusion, and identity attacks into coordinated operations that show how breaches actually happen and how far they can go.
Testing a single layer? See External Penetration Testing →Networks & Applications
External systems, applications, APIs, and cloud infrastructure tested for the exploitable weaknesses that grant initial access.
Phishing & Social Engineering
Phishing, impersonation, and social engineering scenarios that target the human layer within agreed rules of engagement.
Physical Security
Onsite intrusion attempts against facilities, access procedures, and physical assets that could open a path inside.
Identities & Credentials
Leaked credentials from dark web analysis, Active Directory, and authentication weaknesses tested for compromise.
Lateral Movement & Escalation
Internal pivoting, privilege escalation, and persistence techniques that move an attacker from foothold to critical systems.
Detection & Response
SIEM, EDR, logging, and alerting measured against active attacker behavior, along with how your team investigates and contains it.
Everything In PTaaS, Applied To Real Adversaries.
Red teaming isn’t a standalone engagement. It’s delivered as an expanded validation option inside our PTaaS solution, alongside internal, external, network, IoT, physical, and phishing testing, with the same platform, the same remediation workflow, and the same agentic and human testing model.
Impact-Based Prioritization
Attack paths are prioritized by business impact and how far an attacker can go, not just severity scores, so teams close the exposures that enable the most damaging compromises.
Owner-Routed Remediation
Validated attack paths and detection gaps arrive with evidence, root-cause analysis, and clear guidance, routed to the security, IT, or operations owner who can fix them.
Managed, Expert Execution
Our team plans, executes, and debriefs every engagement under agreed rules of engagement, then works with yours on remediation, so you get adversary-grade testing without building an internal red team.
From First Recon To Real Objectives.
Every engagement pursues a realistic attacker objective instead of stopping at the point of access. We chain exposures across vectors, escalate privileges, move laterally, and test whether your team detects and responds at every stage.

How Red Teaming Works Inside TrollEye.
Red team results don’t arrive as a static report. They land in the same TrollEye platform as every other PTaaS test, where your team can see which attack paths succeeded, what enabled them, who owns the fix, and when it has been retested.
Attack Surface
Reconnaissance findings across infrastructure, identities, and exposed services are tracked in one inventory, so every entry point the red team used is visible in context.
- Exposed hosts, services, and identities in one view
- Entry points tied to the attack paths they enabled
- Coverage that stays current between engagements
Validated Attack Paths
Each finding arrives with exploit evidence, attack chain context, and business impact, so teams see how exposures were chained together instead of isolated issues.
- Exploitability and reachability confirmed by our team
- Risk-ranked by impact and attacker progress
- Evidence attached to every step of the chain
Remediation
Root causes route to the security, IT, or operations owner responsible for the fix, with clear guidance and progress tracked centrally.
- Role-based task distribution
- Root-cause remediation guidance
- Detection gaps tracked alongside technical fixes
Retesting
Once a fix is in, request a retest directly from the platform and our team confirms whether the exposure behind the attack path has been closed.
- Retests requested in one click
- Status updated on every finding
- Closure confirmed by the same team that found it
Reporting
Executive and technical reporting breaks down every attack chain, detection gap, and remediation action, alongside every other test in your PTaaS program.
- Executive-ready summaries
- Technical detail for engineering teams
- Red team results in the context of all PTaaS testing
Validated Against A Real-World Adversary.
A red team engagement should create measurable improvement, not just a story about how the attacker got in. See how a Schedule-1 Canadian bank used a multi-vector Red Teaming Assessment to get independent, evidence-based proof of how its entire security ecosystem performed.
How General Bank of Canada Validated Years of Security Investment Against Real-World Attacks.
General Bank of Canada and its sister companies had spent years strengthening their cybersecurity posture. TrollEye conducted a multi-faceted Red Team assessment to determine whether technical, human, physical, and response controls could withstand a sophisticated threat actor.
What differentiated TrollEye was their ability to conduct multi-faceted assessments that combined physical penetration testing, network penetration testing, and incident response exercises.

The Adversarial Proof Point Of Continuous Threat Exposure Management.
Red Teaming Assessments deliver the deepest form of validation within our Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) solution. By simulating real adversaries across technical, human, physical, and identity vectors, red teaming proves which exposures can be chained, exploited, and used to reach critical assets, and whether your detection and response hold up.
Most organizations don’t have a visibility problem. They have an execution problem. Red teaming powers the Discovery, Validation, and Mobilization stages for your adversary scenarios, while Scoping and Prioritization run across your entire attack surface in the same TrollEye platform.
Scoping
Define attacker objectives, critical assets, and rules of engagement for each scenario.

Questions About Red Teaming Assessments
How red team engagements work, what they cover, how attack paths are validated, and how red teaming strengthens every stage of a Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) program.
01 What is a red teaming assessment?
A red teaming assessment is a goal-driven simulation of a real-world attack. Our team emulates the tactics, techniques, and procedures of modern adversaries to pursue a realistic objective, such as reaching sensitive data or business-critical systems, showing how an attacker would move through your environment and where your defenses fail.
02 How is red teaming different from penetration testing?
Penetration testing finds and validates exploitable weaknesses within a defined scope. Red teaming goes further, chaining exposures across technical, human, physical, and identity vectors to pursue an objective while also testing whether your team can detect and respond.
03 What attack vectors does a red team engagement cover?
Engagements combine network and application exploitation, phishing and social engineering, credential and identity attacks, and physical intrusion testing, informed by external attack surface mapping, open-source intelligence, and dark web exposure analysis. Real attackers rarely rely on a single entry point, so neither do we.
04 How is a scenario scoped, and will it disrupt operations?
Every engagement starts with a realistic attacker objective tailored to your industry and threat profile. Together, we define objectives, boundaries, escalation procedures, and scope before any activity begins.
These rules of engagement keep execution safe and controlled. Higher-risk activities, such as data exfiltration or ransomware-style progression, are safely simulated without causing real damage.
05 How does red teaming test detection and response?
We measure how your SIEM, EDR, logging, and alerting perform against active attacker behavior, and how effectively your team detects, investigates, and contains it. Any gaps are documented in a detection gap analysis so they can be closed.
06 What do we receive at the end of an engagement?
A breakdown of the attack chains that succeeded, the root causes behind them, and prioritized remediation guidance, with reporting tailored for leadership, security, IT, and operational stakeholders. Our team then works with yours to plan remediation, rather than handing over a report and walking away.
07 How does red teaming fit into PTaaS and CTEM?
Red teaming is an expanded validation option within our PTaaS solution, so findings live in the same platform and follow the same remediation process as the rest of your testing. How often it’s used depends on how you apply your service credits.
Within Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), it’s one of the strongest forms of Validation, proving which exposures are actually exploitable and reachable, so root causes get fixed instead of resurfacing.
08 What is the difference between red teaming and purple teaming?
Red teaming evaluates your defenses from the attacker’s side, often without defenders knowing the exact timing or methods. Purple teaming brings offensive and defensive teams together to tune detections collaboratively.
Many organizations use red teaming to find detection blind spots, then purple teaming to close them.
Walk through how the platform confirms which exposures are realistically exploitable and reachable, and how validated findings move to the right owners for remediation.
