External Attack Surface
Assess internet-facing systems, applications, and services to identify vulnerabilities that could provide attackers with initial access.
Test Your Security with Real World Red Team Exercises
Red Team Exercises Services in Canada & Nearby Areas
Penetration tests find vulnerabilities; red team exercises reveal whether your organization can detect and stop a real attack. PlutoSec simulates the full breach lifecycle to measure your true resilience before an adversary does.
- Red Team Security Experts
OSCP, OSEP and CRTO certified operators run engagements modeled on real adversary campaigns.
- Real World Approach
We simulate full attack chains, from initial access to objective, without alerting your defenders.
- Actionable Reporting
You get a detailed narrative of the engagement along with detection and response recommendations.
- Confidential & Secure
Rules of engagement and findings are governed by strict confidentiality throughout the exercise.
ABOUT RED TEAMING
Red Teaming Backed by Experience
Red team exercises go beyond traditional security testing by evaluating how well your people, processes, and technology work together under realistic attack conditions. The goal is not simply to find vulnerabilities, but to measure your organization’s ability to detect, respond to, and contain a determined adversary.
PlutoSec’s certified operators emulate real world threat actors using stealth and objective driven tactics. The insights gained help you strengthen defenses, improve incident response, and build confidence in your overall security posture.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we hear most. Still unsure how it applies to your environment? Our engineers are happy to talk it through.
What is the difference between a red team exercise and a penetration test?
A penetration test is typically scope-limited and checklist-driven. A red team exercise is objective-driven and simulates the behavior of a real attacker pursuing a specific goal. Penetration tests are valuable for identifying vulnerabilities across a defined surface. Red team exercises are valuable for understanding whether your organization can detect and respond to a determined, skilled adversary.
How long does a red team engagement typically take?
Most red team engagements run between two and four weeks for the active testing phase, followed by one to two weeks for reporting. The total engagement timeline depends on scope, objectives, and environmental complexity. We define timelines during scoping before the engagement begins.
Does my organization need to be mature to benefit from red teaming?
Your organization does not need to have a fully mature security program to benefit from a red team engagement. That said, red teaming produces the most value for organizations that already have foundational controls in place and want to understand how those controls hold up against realistic attack scenarios. If you are still working on the basics, we may recommend starting with a penetration test or an AD assessment first.
Do you do purple teaming as well?
Yes. Purple team exercises are a collaborative extension of red team work where our offensive operators and your blue team work together to test detection and response capabilities in real time. Purple teaming is particularly effective for validating alert tuning and response playbooks after a red team engagement has identified gaps.
