Penetration testing
Intelligence and adversary simulation
Start with a business objective. An intelligence review can show what public sources or previously exposed records reveal about your organisation. An authorised red-team exercise can then test an agreed route towards that objective and compare the exercise timeline with what your people and monitoring tools detected.
Which question are you trying to answer?
Investigation or simulation?
An investigation looks for evidence of exposure. A simulation tests an agreed objective under written rules of engagement. The starting point, permissions and outputs differ.
Agree how the evidence will be used
Agree which findings can be verified without interacting with systems, which require separately authorised testing, and who will own each action.
Which decision should the investigation or exercise help your organisation make?
