NetSPI » Security Assessments »
Simulated attacks through a red team exercise enhance your team’s safeguards against threats. NetSPI’s Red Team Operations put your security controls, policies, incident response, and cybersecurity training to the ultimate test.
Simulate Advanced Adversaries
Red Team Operations (RTO) is the art of simulated real-world attacks that put organizations’ cyber resilience to the test. RTO covers the entire people, process, technology, and incident response of an organization, by using a combination of common tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by actual attackers. NetSPI’s RTO helps identify risks, benchmark current capabilities, justify security investments, sharpen the skills of your team, improve detective controls, and more.
Frameworks & Certifications
NetSPI supports organizations in achieving compliance with DORA through advanced, threat-led red teaming and pentesting, fully aligned with TIBER-EU standards. Backed by accreditations from CBEST and CREST, NetSPI brings extensive expertise across leading frameworks, including AASE, ART, CORIE, FEER, iCAST, MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, STAR, STAR FS.
