Red Teaming
Realistic attack simulations, beyond compliance
We perform end-to-end attack simulations to validate your security controls and derive meaningful improvement strategies. Our work scrutinizes your security posture far beyond compliance checks and isolated tests.
SRLabs specializes in advanced attack simulations for mature environments, including EU-regulated TIBER assessments and DORA-mandated threat-led penetration tests (TLPTs).

State-of-the-art
We emulate real-world adversaries trying to compromise your network using state-of-the-art hacking techniques.
Real-world threats
We employ the same tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by real attackers, fully testing your detection capabilities and acting as a training partner for detection teams.
Security improvement
We support our clients in navigating these sensitive projects, make sure the messaging is clear and balanced and meet everyone – especially defense teams – with friendliness and respect.
“Our goal is to make hacking your network as difficult as possible.”
Our Approach
- External reconnaissance: Gather information on the target and look for potential vulnerabilities.
- Initial compromise: Exploit vulnerabilities in external systems or perform phishing.
- Establish foothold: Persist position in the network including C2 channels.
- Internal reconnaissance: Search targets and map the network.
- Escalate privileges: Access other accounts via stolen credentials.
- Move laterally: Compromise further systems to expand reach.
- Complete mission: Exfiltrate data, manipulate information, or sabotage systems according to the engagement scope.
Threat Actor Emulation
SRLabs mimics different threat actors, from Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups to financially motivated attackers.
Ransomware attackers
Infect endpoints and databases to blackmail corporations for crypto money.
Opportunistic attacks using wormable exploits and malware.
Espionage and financial manipulation
Steal trade secrets and/or manipulate/disrupt trading systems.
Customized “off-the-shelf” exploitation kits.
Nation state actors and APT groups
Take control of strategic network components to be used when opportune.
Living of the land binaries and tools.
+ Insider threat
Cooperating with a threat actor due to a personal grudge or financial motivation.
Based on available internal access.
Attacks and methodologies can be tailored based on detailed threat intelligence.
Engagement Models
Ways to make your network stronger.
Classic Red Team
We simulate an attacker attempting to compromise your business processes. Gained insights are applied to improve all-around security.
TIBER exercises and DORA-TLPTs
We perform an EU-regulated attack simulation on critical business functions and underlying systems. The exercise involves close collaboration between you and the regulator.
Purple Team Engagement
The attack simulation is conducted in close collaboration between attackers and defenders to maximize improvements in detection and reaction.
Active Directory Review
Identity and access management systems are complex and juicy targets for attackers. We review your attack surface and protect against common attack paths towards infrastructure take-over.
Why It Matters
Red Team exercises generate information on all layers of corporate security. Findings are combined with tactical and strategic advice to inform future roadmap and budget decisions.
Understand Strengths & Weaknesses
An end-to-end exercise generates information on many layers of corporate security and helps to understand your strong and weak spots by bringing your complete organization into scope.
Test and Train Detection Teams
Test your detection capabilities and have a training partner for the detection teams (blue team) and create suggestions for what detections to implement next.
Catch Relevant Issues
Catch individual issues or structural problems that are missed by other security controls and produce a list of high or critical findings that must be addressed to improve security.
