AI red teaming
AI has changed offensive tradecraft, accelerating what adversaries can execute and at what scale.
Our red team brings deep adversary expertise and leading-edge AI tooling and tradecraft to simulate that behavior against your environment, replicating how AI-enabled adversaries operate and testing whether your defenses hold up. We test both traditional infrastructure and AI systems, because adversaries don’t distinguish between them.
As red team of record for multiple frontier AI companies and a partner on OpenAI’s Daybreak program, our practitioners operate at the frontier of AI security. That includes access to and the ability to deliver services with Daybreak Red, directly informing our approach to AI-assisted threat simulation research and tool development, including Sage, an AI-powered virtual agent for Mythic command and control.
All red team exercises are built to develop lasting capability:
- Practice response against worst-case scenarios without worst-case security risk
- Close gaps in detection technology, investigation processes, and staff readiness
- Receive collaborative debriefs with context to improve future response
- Build institutional knowledge that strengthens your team between engagements

Full lifecycle coverage
We assess AI systems at every stage, from design through production
Defining the field
GhostWorks, Blacklight, Sage, and AI adversary research shaping the industry
AI security assessments
AI systems introduce unique attack surfaces across models, pipelines, and supporting infrastructure. Adversaries are already exploiting them. We evaluate these systems across every stage of the lifecycle, breaking them down into individual components to identify vulnerabilities unique to AI alongside traditional infrastructure risks.
Evaluations across design and development stages
Infrastructure assessments from the perspective of a compromised user
Offensive testing of production AI systems, including model behavior and agentic workflows
Application security assessments
We assess web applications, desktop applications, AI systems, and AI models for exploitable vulnerabilities, with findings focused on demonstrable real-world impact. Our practitioners use AI tooling to accelerate vulnerability discovery and attack path analysis, backed by the deep adversary expertise to know what matters.
Findings focused on exploitable vulnerabilities with real impact, not noise
Assess from both authenticated and unauthenticated perspectives, including multi-role and multi-tenant testing
Deliver actionable remediation guidance with demonstrated impact on critical data
Evaluate AI systems and models for adversarial vulnerabilities alongside traditional application risks
Penetration testing
We’ll work with you to define the objectives that matter most, focusing on viable attack paths to your most sensitive data and management systems across network, application, AI, and specialty environments. Our practitioners take an objective-driven approach, combining AI tooling and deep adversary expertise to find more within a single engagement, accelerating attack path analysis and uncovering the ‘unknown unknowns’ that time constraints typically prevent.
Every finding tied to real-world impact and translated into business risk
Independent, third-party perspective from operators who know the adversary’s playbook
Evidence-based justification for security investments

Custom security solutions
We partner with you to build robust prevention, detection, validation, and response capabilities across defensive and offensive operations. Not every security challenge fits a standard engagement, and we bring the same elite offensive security expertise and adversary mindset to unique and emerging technology challenges. Custom assessments and advisory services deliver actionable outcomes, knowledge transfer, and measurable security improvements.
Stand up red team, purple team, threat hunting, detection, or AI red team programs
Develop attainable goals, effective metrics, and documented processes
Build programs designed for sustained capabilities and organizational ownership, not consultant dependence
Advancing AI security
As AI systems become critical infrastructure, they become targets. We bring the same adversary expertise that defines our services to the challenge of securing AI systems, from model evaluations and infrastructure assessments to enterprise-scale Cyber Ranges for AI used by the AI Security Institute (AISI) to evaluate frontier model capabilities. See AISI’s “Measuring AI Agents’ Progress on Multi-Step Cyber Attack Scenarios” research.
We are the red team of record for multiple frontier AI companies and participate in OpenAI’s Daybreak program, working alongside leading security firms and Fortune 500 enterprises to push the frontier of AI-enabled cyber defense.
What sets us apart
Adversary tradecraft expertise
Our services are built on deep understanding of how adversaries operate, including how AI is changing offensive tradecraft, not compliance frameworks or theoretical risk models.
Built and delivered by operators
The same people who publish the original research and build the tools we’re known for are the ones executing your engagements.
Capabilities you own
We build programs your team sustains independently. Every engagement includes knowledge transfer, documented processes, and leave-behind methodologies.
Measurable outcomes
Actionable findings tied to real-world risk, with clear remediation guidance and steps to reproduce that demonstrate security posture improvement.
Research that shapes the industry
Our team publishes original research like Certified Pre-Owned, NTLM Relay Attacks, and SCCM adversary tradecraft, and develops AI security tooling including Blacklight, an open-source toolkit for assessing AI agent attack surfaces on endpoints, and is researching the use of LLMs to autonomously generate Mythic C2 agents from prompt to deployment. We regularly present at Black Hat, DEF CON, Troopers, x33fcon, ShmooCon, and BSides. This commitment to advancing the security community shapes how the industry understands and defends against adversary tradecraft.
