We perform adversary simulation (red or purple team) to help you answer that question.
Our expert consultants simulate attacks using the same tools and techniques a predefined threat actor would use to help you prepare your organization against a real attack.

Adversary simulation, also known as red teaming, is a security assessment that evaluates the effectiveness of your organization's security controls by simulating the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of real-world adversaries.
It differs strongly from a traditional penetration test in the sense that the goal isn't to find vulnerabilities, it's to simulate a predefined threat actor to evaluate if your blue team is able to detect and respond to a real threat.
We offer adversary simulation both through red- and purple team engagements. Red teaming doesn't involve any direct contact between the red (attackers, Assured) and the blue (defenders, you) team. The red team will simulate the exact tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) a threat actor would use to find out if your organization is prepared for an attack from a real threat. Purple teaming involves direct communication between the red and the blue team to efficiently test and implement detection for specific TTPs.
Threat actors evolve, and so do their TTPs. It's crucial to test your detection and response capabilities continously to meet the always changing threat landscape.
It is recommended to perform adversary simulation at least once a year, or whenever there are significant changes to your organization's security posture.
You will receive a written report detailing all findings related to your detection implementation together with suggestions for improvement, as well as a list of vulnerabilities identified during the simulation. The report will be used by your blue team as a support guide to implement new detection mechanisms.
