executing-red-team-exercise

Run a stealthy, MITRE ATT&CK-mapped adversary emulation against an organization's people, processes, and technology, using C2 infrastructure (Cobalt Strike, Sliver, Brute Ratel, Mythic) through the full attack lifecycle to test SOC detection and response rather than just find vulnerabilities. Use when executing a full-scope red team exercise, adversary simulation/emulation, or a regulatory exercise (TIBER-EU, CBEST, AASE, iCAST) with executive authorization and a signed Rules of Engagement already in place.

# Executing Red Team Exercise

## When to Use

- Assessing an organization's ability to detect, respond to, and contain a realistic adversary operation
- Testing the effectiveness of the security operations center (SOC), incident response team, and threat hunting capabilities
- Validating security investments by simulating attacks that chain multiple vulnerabilities and techniques
- Evaluating the organization's security posture against specific threat actors (nation-state, ransomware groups, insider threats)
- Meeting regulatory requirements for adversary simulation (TIBER-EU, CBEST, AASE, iCAST)

**Do not use** without executive-level authorization and a detailed Rules of Engagement document, against systems where disruption could affect safety or critical operations, or as a replacement for basic vulnerability management (fix known vulnerabilities first).

## Prerequisites

- Executive-level written authorization with clearly defined objectives, scope, and off-limits systems
