Red Teaming - Practice with a real cyber attack
Is your organization truly prepared for ransomware, supply chain attacks, or insider threats? Our Red Teaming assessment simulates real-world attacks to uncover weak points in your people, processes, and technology, before adversaries do.

Experience a Realistic Cyber Attack Simulation
Train Your Team to React Fast & Effectively
Identify Hidden Weak Spots Before Attackers Do
What’s at Stake for Your Organization?
- You need to test your cyber defenses against real-world threats, not just theory.
- Your team must be able to detect and respond before damage is done.
- You want to uncover hidden gaps, from phishing to privilege escalation, before attackers do.
What Red Teaming Really Tells You
Red Teaming simulates a full-spectrum cyberattack, just like a real adversary would. It helps you test how your defenses hold up, identify blind spots, and see how your team responds under pressure.
This isn’t about scanning for vulnerabilities. It’s about discovering how attacks unfold in your environment, from phishing to privilege escalation, and how ready your team truly is.
Our Red Team acts like the attacker. Your Blue Team defends. A White Team can observe and steer the simulation to ensure learning and safety.

Preparedness means more than security controls. Your team needs to know how to respond to rare, high-impact attacks, with speed and clarity.
What You Get from Red Teaming
A clear picture of your real-world vulnerabilities
A live test of your team’s detection and response capabilities
Insight into how attackers could move through your environment
How Our Red Teaming Assessment Works
01
Mission Definition
We work with you to define realistic goals for the assessment, for example, accessing sensitive data, disrupting operations, or compromising key systems.
02
Reconnaissance
Our Red Team gathers intelligence using open-source tools, social engineering, and passive scanning to understand your environment, just like a real attacker would.
03
Execution
We simulate targeted attacks across multiple vectors, such as phishing, credential abuse, lateral movement, and physical intrusion, while avoiding detection and escalating access.
04
Reporting & Debrief
After the exercise, you receive a detailed report with findings, impact analysis, and concrete steps for improvement. We also offer an interactive debriefing session with your team.
Which Red Teaming Approach Fits You?
Red Teaming is gaining popularity in all sectors, from financials to public organizations and even (critical) industry as a security discipline. We offer different types of Red Teaming, to meet the needs and budget of your organization. All assessments use the MITRE ATTandCK framework and offer the opportunity to work in a Purple Teaming setup (a combined effort between Red and Blue).
1. Red Teaming Modular
Are you up for the next step after pentesting? Red Teaming Modular offers the chance to select the most relevant attacks for your organization.
2. Red Teaming Core
Red Teaming Core is a full-blown attack simulation for medium to large businesses that employ their own Blue Teams. This type will condense extensive threat landscape analysis. The attack scenarios are based on real-world threats, using .Techniques, Tactics, and Procedures (TTP’s) defined in the MITRE ATTandCK Framework.
3. Red Teaming Pro
The Pro variant of Red Teaming is a step up for organizations with very mature Blue Teams and a high level of cyber resilience. Attacking a mature organization such as yours requires much more effort by the Red Team to, for example, deploy malware that bypasses your EDR solution. Here the Red Team works as a completely independent group, and Leg Up scenarios are only used as a last resort. The Red Teaming Pro is the most realistic simulation of attacks by Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) against your organization.
4. Advanced Red Teaming
Advanced Red Teaming is a framework for threat intelligence based red teaming, developed by De Nederlandsche Bank. Advanced Red Teaming gives you strategic insight into your resilience against real world treat actors. It tests your defensive capabilities in depth. Do you want to conduct an Advanced Red Teaming project? Our experienced Red Teaming experts can help you.

5. Red Teaming in OT
Similar to our Red Teaming Pro service, but specifically focused on generating a low volume and simulated high impact events on your ICS and SCADA control systems. Attackers targeting these environments use different tactics, resulting in a tailor-made process that mitigates any operational environment risks.

6. TIBER (specific for the Netherlands)
TIBER - Threat Intelligence Based Ethical Red Teaming - is part of the financial sector's effort to improve cyber resilience under the guidance of the Dutch National Bank. Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity is capable of functioning as Red Teaming Provider (RTP), complying with the requirements in the TIBER-NL guidelines.
Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity’s experience in Red Teaming, combined with our capabilities, passion, and TIBER-specific experience, provides our customers with the best possible basis for the clean, solid execution and management of TIBER engagements.
7. ZORRO (specific for the Netherlands)
ZORRO - Zorg Red Teaming Resilience Exercises - developed by Z-CERT, aims to improve the cyber resilience of healthcare providers. Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity offers a cost-effective testing program that meets the requirements of the ZORRO methodology.
8. Cyber Crisis Management
Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity confronts your crisis management team with a challenging but realistic cyber threat incident to test cooperation and coordination. During a one-day Cyber Crisis Exercise, your team will be presented with so-called injects, providing a realistic feel in a simulated and controlled environment. Such a tabletop session is beneficial for developing your cyber crisis management skills and preparing the team for other high-impact incidents.

Dealing with real world attack scenarios requires more than a dedicated Security Operations Center (SOC); it requires hands-on training and learning by doing. Find the weak spots before real attackers do. Red Teaming in the Operational Technology domain is significantly different from traditional Red Teaming against traditional enterprises. Watch the replay of our latest webinar.
Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity’s Red Team
To simulate a real attacker, you need more than tools, you need a team that understands technology, human behavior, and physical security.
Our Red Team consists of certified professionals with deep expertise in all three domains. From ethical hackers and social engineers to physical intrusion specialists, each team member brings years of hands-on experience and specialized knowledge.
With certifications such as CRTP, CRTO, CRTE, and MLSE, and over 20 years of Red Teaming experience, we provide the foundation for clean, realistic, and effective assessments, tailored to your sector, systems, and goals.

Red, blue, white and purple teams explained
Red Team
Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity's Red Team assumes the role of a hostile attacker. Ideally, only a few people in your organization are aware of the Red Teaming assessment. In that way, the authenticity of this digital fire exercise is optimal.
Blue Team
Your organization's Blue Team is responsible for defending the networks, systems, and applications. This team is generally unaware of the Red Teaming simulation, to increase realism and test response.
White Team
The White Team acts as the link between the Red and Blue Teams. It consists of employees from your organization and from Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity. The White team is informed about all attacks, and is mandated to start, stop and approve attacks.
Purple Team
In some cases, the Blue Team finds out about the Red Teaming Assessment. In that situation, it might be better to inform the Blue Team and work together. This is called Purple Teaming.
