As cyber-attack simulation providers, we incorporate people and technology to create attack scenarios that Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) actors use to access corporate networks.
Following the attack, we will provide an audit timeline to help highlight the issues and weaknesses in your defences. Our approach will ensure your organisation is prepared with the knowledge needed to respond to the evolving threat landscape.
An Adversary Emulation is for organisations that understand a penetration test will not accurately reflect the threat level and sophistication of today’s cyber risks. If you already know your systems will withstand a penetration test, reassure your stakeholders by recreating an attack using the tactics and techniques of an advanced persistent threat actor.
If you are concerned about your most valuable assets being compromised or think your company could be a victim of a cyber-attack, an adversary emulation can help. It will demonstrate how real-world attackers could compromise your organisation and obtain or destroy critical assets.
While an Adversary Emulation test is an excellent way to simulate advanced persistent threats and test existing defences, it will not find all technical vulnerabilities. See our penetration testing offerings if you need a service that identifies all your vulnerabilities.
Our services are built to be cost-effective while maximising risk reduction. All consultancy and managed solutions provide actionable results that protect your business from opportunistic to advanced persistent threats.

APT stands for Advanced Persistent Threat.
Advanced is defined as Targeted, Coordinated and purposeful involving teams or groups of skilled actors.
Persistent is defined as an actor with an objective and a willingness to achieve it over time. most cybercrime is opportunistic.
Threat is defined as persons with the intent, opportunity and capability to act on their objective.

The Lockheed Martin Cyber Kill Chain is a framework used for the identification and prevention of cyber intrusions. At a high level it provides a model for what adversaries must complete in order to achieve their objective.
An advanced persistent threat (APT) will typically have the human and financial resources behind them to develop a bespoke cyber kill chain methodology that circumvents modern protection mechanisms.
A zero-trust architecture is essential when defending against APT groups.
