Realistic attack scenarios, tailored to your industry
In a Threat Simulation, we replicate the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of real threat actors in a controlled environment. The goal: test your defenses against the most relevant threats for your industry – before a real attacker does.
A Threat Simulation is a controlled security exercise where we replicate the behavior of known threat actor groups (APTs). Unlike a penetration test that identifies vulnerabilities, a Threat Simulation measures your organization's detection and response capabilities under realistic conditions.
Simulation of APT groups targeting banking systems, SWIFT networks, and payment processing. Test your defenses against industry-specific threats.
Ransomware scenarios targeting patient data and medical devices. We test whether your critical systems withstand a targeted attack.
Attacks on industrial control systems (ICS/OT), supply chain compromises, and production disruptions – realistic scenarios for your manufacturing environment.
We start with an already compromised endpoint and test how far an attacker can advance in the network. Ideal for testing internal segmentation and detection.
Targeted phishing attacks on selected employees to test the effectiveness of awareness training and technical email filters.
Attempts to gain physical access to your buildings – through tailgating, forged badges, or social engineering at the reception.
Simulation of a malware infection to test whether your endpoint security and SOC processes can detect and contain a compromise.
Complete external attack chain: reconnaissance, initial access, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration – an end-to-end simulation of an external attacker.
Analysis of current threats and attack patterns for your industry and infrastructure.
Tailored attack scenarios based on real threats and your specific environment.
Controlled execution of scenarios focusing on detection, response, and containment.
Detailed evaluation of detection rates, response times, and improvement opportunities.
Anonymized engagement example
A Swiss insurance company. 15 ATT&CK techniques. Only 4 detected.
Eleven missing detection rules implemented, thresholds corrected, three blind log sources connected. Detection rate improved from 27% to over 75%.
A Swiss insurance company wants to test whether their security monitoring detects targeted attacks. 15 techniques from the MITRE ATT&CK framework particularly relevant to the industry are simulated — from initial access through credential dumping to data exfiltration.
How would your defenses hold up?
In a free 30-minute consultation, we discuss which threat groups are relevant to your industry and what a simulation would cost for your environment.
