An efficient variant that begins from a realistic foothold, such as a compromised workstation or a set of stolen credentials, rather than starting from zero. It focuses effort on what happens after the perimeter is breached.
Perimeters get breached. Spending an entire engagement getting in can waste budget better spent on what happens next.
We begin from a provided foothold, such as a compromised workstation or stolen credentials, and concentrate effort on escalation, lateral movement and reaching the objective.
Assumed breach gives the clearest picture of internal detection and response for organisations that accept the perimeter can fall.
By skipping the way in, we maximise coverage of internal controls, segmentation and monitoring, giving the sharpest read on how your environment holds up after a breach.
Budget is finite. Assumed breach directs it at the highest-signal part of an engagement.
Focusing on post-foothold activity delivers more findings that matter per engagement day than a full-scope campaign that spends days at the perimeter.
It is an efficient red team variant that begins from a realistic foothold, such as a compromised workstation or stolen credentials, rather than starting from zero. It focuses effort on what happens after the perimeter is breached: escalation, lateral movement and reaching the objective.
Because perimeters get bypassed eventually, and assumed breach gives the sharpest read on internal detection and response without spending days getting in. It is often the most cost-effective way to test what matters most.
Whatever best models your risk: standard user credentials, a managed or unmanaged workstation, or a network position. We agree the starting point up front.
For internal defence it is often more revealing, because more of the engagement is spent exercising the controls that contain a real intrusion.
