Simulate Realistic Adversarial Attacks Against Your Organisation
Securebytes provides red and purple team engagements designed to evaluate how effectively organisations can detect, respond to, and contain realistic cyber attacks across people, processes, and technology.
Unlike traditional penetration testing, red and purple team exercises focus on broader attack scenarios that emulate the tactics, techniques, and procedures used by real-world threat actors. These engagements help organisations assess defensive capabilities, validate security monitoring effectiveness, and identify weaknesses within detection and response processes.
Assessments are tailored to the organisation’s objectives, security maturity, and operational requirements, ranging from stealth-led adversarial simulations to highly collaborative defensive exercises.
Red Team Engagements
Red team engagements simulate realistic threat actor activity designed to test how effectively an organisation can identify and respond to sophisticated attacks under realistic conditions. The objective of a red team engagement is to evaluate defensive visibility, response capabilities, internal processes, and operational resilience against targeted attack scenarios.
Exercises may involve a combination of:
- External attack simulation
- Social engineering techniques
- Credential compromise
- Lateral movement
- Privilege escalation
- Cloud and identity attacks
- Physical access attempts
- Persistence and evasion techniques
Purple Team Exercises
Purple team exercises provide a collaborative approach where Securebytes works alongside internal security, IT, and SOC teams to improve defensive visibility, detection engineering, and response effectiveness. Purple teaming helps organisations improve their ability to identify and respond to realistic attack techniques while strengthening collaboration between offensive and defensive security functions.
These exercises focus on:
- Detection validation
- Alert tuning
- Threat visibility improvement
- Response workflow testing
- Defensive control effectiveness
- Security monitoring optimisation
What’s Included
Every red and purple team engagement is tailored to the organisation and agreed objectives. Standard engagements typically include:
Scoping and objective planning
Rules of engagement definition
Detection and response evaluation
Controlled adversarial testing
Evidence collection and analysis
Technical and management reporting
Strategic remediation guidance
REAL-TIME REPORTING
Securebytes provides clients with access to a modern reporting portal designed to improve visibility, collaboration, and remediation management throughout the assessment lifecycle. Rather than relying solely on static reports, the portal provides an interactive environment where findings, updates, and remediation activity can be managed in real time.
Real-Time Findings Access
View vulnerabilities and security findings as they are identified during the engagement, allowing remediation activities to begin before the final report is delivered.
Asset-Based Finding Management
Findings can be associated with specific assets, applications, or environments, helping organisations clearly understand where vulnerabilities exist and prioritise remediation effectively.
Integrated Collaboration & Communication
Communicate directly with consultants through built-in finding discussions, enabling efficient clarification, remediation support, and ongoing collaboration throughout the assessment.
Remediation & Retest Tracking
Track remediation progress by marking findings as resolved or risk accepted, creating a clear workflow for remediation validation and formal retesting activities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Penetration testing focuses on identifying vulnerabilities within defined systems or applications, while red teaming simulates realistic threat actor behaviour to evaluate detection, response, and overall organisational resilience.
Purple teaming is a collaborative exercise where offensive security consultants work alongside internal defensive teams to improve detection, visibility, and response capabilities.
This depends on the objectives of the engagement. Exercises can be covert, partially disclosed, or fully collaborative depending on organisational requirements.
Yes. Red team engagements can include phishing, vishing, physical access attempts, and other human-focused attack techniques where agreed as part of the scope.
