Think Like an Attacker. Strengthen Like a Defender.
Red Teaming and Social Engineering
At AptIQ Technologies, our Red Teaming and Social Engineering services provide a no-limits approach to identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities across your organization. By simulating real-world attack scenarios—spanning infrastructure, applications, physical access, and employees—we deliver actionable insights to enhance your overall security posture. From phishing simulations to network penetration testing, our certified experts mimic the tactics of modern attackers to uncover weaknesses before they are exploited.
Why Choose Red Teaming?
Realistic Risk Assessment
Gain a true understanding of your organization’s risk by exposing vulnerabilities in software, physical infrastructure, and human behavior through realistic attack simulations.
Comprehensive Security Testing
Our Red Team assessments cover everything from external penetration testing and social engineering to physical security reviews—ensuring no area is left unchecked.
Enhanced Security Programs
We collaborate with your internal teams to remediate vulnerabilities and refine your cybersecurity program for stronger, long-term defense.
When Your Business Needs Red Teaming
Consider Red Teaming if:
- You need a realistic assessment of your current security defenses.
- You’re preparing for compliance audits or want to validate existing preventive controls.
- Your organization has suffered a breach and wants to test response capabilities.
- You want to ensure your employees and systems are resilient against phishing and social engineering attacks.
- You’re focused on improving physical security and access controls for critical facilities.
Red Team Assessment Scope:
- External Infrastructure Testing
Assess vulnerabilities in external networks, cloud services, and hosted applications. - Phishing and Social Engineering
Simulate targeted attacks on employees to assess their ability to detect and respond.
Conduct pretexting and credential-gathering attempts. - Physical Security Testing
Test the resilience of physical access controls, such as building security, badge systems, and surveillance. - Web and Mobile Application Testing
Identify and exploit vulnerabilities in externally hosted applications. - Network Infrastructure Testing
Evaluate routers, printers, Wi-Fi networks, DNS, email, and other critical infrastructure components for weaknesses. - Privilege Escalation and Unauthorized Changes
Test what an attacker could achieve after gaining unauthorized access.

Our Red Teaming Methodology
Intelligence Gathering (OSINT)
- Discover IP ranges, FQDNs, and public cloud services that may contain sensitive data.
- Analyze open ports, running services, and web applications to identify entry points.
Testing and Exploitation
- Use advanced penetration techniques to gain access to systems, exploit vulnerabilities, and assess control effectiveness.
- Test physical access points such as buildings, offices, and video surveillance
Social Engineering Attacks
- Conduct phishing campaigns, credential harvesting, and impersonation attempts to test employee awareness and readiness.
Reporting and Recommendations
- Provide a detailed report of findings, including prioritized recommendations to address identified risks.
- Work with your team to implement improvements and strengthen defenses.

What is Red Teaming, and how does it benefit my organization?
Red Teaming is a no-limits, real-world attack simulation that tests your organization's ability to detect, respond to, and recover from cyber threats. It identifies vulnerabilities in your infrastructure, applications, and even human processes, helping to strengthen your overall security posture.
How does Red Teaming differ from traditional penetration testing?
While penetration testing focuses on identifying and addressing specific vulnerabilities, Red Teaming takes a more holistic approach. It simulates real-world attack scenarios, targeting not just technical systems but also physical access and employee behavior, to assess the effectiveness of your entire security program.
What does the Red Teaming process include?
Our Red Teaming process includes OSINT to gather intelligence, penetration testing of networks and applications, social engineering and phishing simulations, and physical access tests. The goal is to uncover weaknesses and help you enhance preventive and detective controls.
