Red Teaming

Red teaming to test how your security holds under pressure

Cythera’s red teaming engagements mimic the tactics of real attackers — from phishing and credential theft to physical entry attempts — to uncover hidden weaknesses in your defences. We test your people, processes, and systems under realistic conditions.

Service detail

Expert red teaming to expose real risk

To understand your true exposure, we simulate what a determined attacker would do—putting your systems to the test in a realistic breach scenario.

Red team. Real impact.

Stealth testing for authentic security insight. With minimal internal awareness, our covert testing shows how far an adversary could go — and how well your team responds.

Frequently asked questions

From risk assessment to rapid response - we’re with you every step of the way.

Why choose a red team exercise over traditional testing?

Red teaming replicates real-world threats that traditional scans often overlook. It enhances your ability to detect and respond, exposes weak points in awareness, and validates that your defences work under pressure.

Will we be notified about red team test timing?

Red team assessments mimic real-world attacks. Only essential personnel are briefed so we can observe how your team performs under authentic, unscripted conditions.
