Services Red Teaming
Targeted breaches keep rising, yet most security programs are tested only in theory. Packetlabs’ covert Red Teaming service puts your defenses through the same tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by advanced ransomware crews and nation‑state actors, across on‑prem, cloud, and SaaS footprints.
Your three‑step path to breach‑proof confidence:
Define the objectives: Choose the data or system an adversary would prize most
Simulate a real attacker: Our stealth operators bypass AV/EDR, chain identity flaws, and stay under the radar until the mission is complete
Debrief and fortify: Receive an evidence‑rich narrative, minute‑by‑minute dwell‑time metrics, and a prioritized remediation roadmap your blue team can act on immediately
Stop guessing how you’d fare against a live adversary—prove it.

Service Highlights
Outsmart Your Adversaries
Packetlabs tests your controls like real adversaries do—avoid writing to disk, living off the land, and cycling payloads until we evade your AV or EDR. When we finally pop the crown jewels, you gain proof of exactly which controls stopped working, so you can shore them up before an attacker does.
The Packetlabs Difference
Reduce Dwell-time
The real value of a red‑team exercise isn’t the breach—it’s the lessons that follow. In our Post‑Mortem Debrief, Packetlabs sits down with your blue team to replay the attack minute‑by‑minute, highlighting every detection opportunity that slipped past the SIEM or SOC analyst. For each gap we map the root cause, recommend the improvements required to close it, and prioritize fixes by dwell‑time reduction and business impact.
See the Whole Battlefield
Modern attacks don’t respect borders, and neither do we. Our red team connects the dots across on‑prem, hybrid, and cloud estates, chaining trust relationships and identity flaws into a single breach path that shows leadership how one misstep anywhere can threaten everything.
Defence in Depth
For over 12 years, Packetlabs has guided security leaders across North America to victory against real-world breaches. Acting like the adversary, our experts go beyond the initial target pivoting through every in-scope system to stress-test your detection layers so you can see exactly how your “defense in depth” holds up. The result: not a single client has ever been compromised by a vulnerability we missed, giving you board-ready proof that your organization is well defended.
Beyond Automated Testing
While automated scanners scrape the surface, Packetlabs’ expert-led penetration tests probe the logic, business workflows, and chained exploits that scanners routinely overlook. Leveraging manual exploitation techniques, threat-intel-driven scenarios, and creative lateral thinking, our team exposes high-impact vulnerabilities competitors miss and translates them into clear, fix-ready guidance. The result is a much higher assurance level than conventional "smash-and-grab" pentests that help you sleep better at night.
Why Conduct Red Teaming?
Validate Capabilities
Many teams purchase technologies and prepare for incidents; however, it is critical to validate effectiveness using a customized approach based on your unique objectives, challenges, and maturity level
Educate Teams
Exercise blue teams to identify gaps, improve coverage within those gaps, and educate organizational teams on what to do if a real-world scenario occurs at any point within the cyber kill chain
Improve Detection
Discover coverage gaps, determine potential impact, and gain actionable information that proves ROI and justifies budgets
Test Security Posture
Emulate realistic attack scenarios using OSINT and threat intelligence

Red Teaming Methodology
Packetlabs' security testing methodology is based on industry standards and is primarily aligned with the MITRE ATT@CK for Enterprise framework to ensure that real-world tactics, techniques, and procedures are conducted against an organization in order to test the organization’s security posture.
