Adversary Simulation: Battle-Test Your Defenses

A real cyberattack is the ultimate test of your security. Our Adversary Simulation services provide that test in a controlled, safe environment, allowing you to see how your people, processes, and technology hold up against a sophisticated, real-world threat.

More Than a Test, It's a Training Exercise

While a penetration test is excellent for finding technical vulnerabilities, an adversary simulation tests your entire defense ecosystem. It's not just finding a flaw; it's answering critical questions: Can your team detect a stealthy attacker? Is your response plan effective? Do your technology investments actually work together?

Our Simulation Offerings

We offer several types of simulations to meet your specific objectives

The Birdling Icon
Red Team / Blue Team Exercises

This is our flagship simulation. Our expert "Red Team" acts as the attacker, using advanced techniques to try and achieve a specific objective (e.g., "steal sensitive data"). Your internal security team (the "Blue Team") is responsible for detecting and responding to our attack in real-time.

The Birdling Icon
Purple Team Exercises

This is a collaborative exercise. Our Red Team and your Blue Team work together openly. We explain the attacks as we perform them, allowing your defenders to see how their tools respond and fine-tune their detection rules on the fly. It's an incredibly effective hands-on training tool.

Compromise Assessment

This service answers one of the toughest questions a CEO can ask: "Are we already breached?" Our team hunts through your network and systems for signs of an existing or past compromise, giving you a definitive answer and a path to remediation.

The Outcomes of a Successful Simulation

Our goal is not just to "win." It's to make your team stronger. After an engagement, you will have:
