Why Choose HALOCK for Adversarial Testing

Assumed Breach • Red Team Testing • Adversary Simulation

Experienced Adversary Team

HALOCK’s Adversarial Testing team brings decades of offensive security experience and deep expertise in threat emulation. Our testers combine red-team tradecraft with knowledge of detection, incident response, and enterprise defense strategies to replicate the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of real-world threat actors. This allows us to safely test how your people, processes, and technologies perform under a focused, covert attack.

Threat-Based, Goal-Oriented Reporting

HALOCK’s Threat-Based Reporting model goes beyond identifying vulnerabilities — it demonstrates how those weaknesses can be chained together to achieve an attacker’s goals. Each report includes criticality ratings, attack-path analysis, and detection and response insights to help you prioritize improvements that enhance real-world resilience.

Benchmarking for Defensive Maturity

Benchmarking provides valuable context for your security readiness. By comparing your detection, response, and containment capabilities to peer organizations, HALOCK helps you understand where your defenses excel and where they need reinforcement. These insights support targeted investments in detection visibility, incident response processes, and staff readiness.

Clear, Actionable Insights for Both SOC and Leadership

Our reports are written for both technical teams and executives. You’ll receive detailed attack narratives, visual documentation, and step-by-step walkthroughs of how objectives were achieved. Each finding includes practical recommendations for tuning controls, improving visibility, and enhancing coordination between your SOC and IR teams.

Adversarial Testing Services

Assumed Breach

Assumed Breach Testing begins with the premise that an attacker has already gained initial access — through methods such as phishing or stolen credentials. HALOCK’s team works from this assumed foothold to test your internal defenses, attempting to escalate privileges, move laterally, access sensitive data, and maintain persistence. This engagement validates how well your existing safeguards — such as endpoint controls, segmentation, and monitoring — perform after a breach occurs.

Red Team Testing

Red Team Adversarial Testing is a covert, goal-driven assessment that simulates a real-world attacker pursuing defined business objectives while remaining undetected. HALOCK’s red team uses a combination of social engineering, technical exploitation, and persistence techniques to challenge your organization end-to-end — from preventative controls to response readiness. Red Team Testing reveals not only exploitable weaknesses, but also gaps in your processes, people, and security operations.

Adversary Simulation

Adversary Simulation replicates the tactics and methods of advanced threat actors over an extended period. Using intelligence-driven attack scenarios, HALOCK measures your organization’s ability to detect and respond to subtle, ongoing threats. These simulations evaluate monitoring, alerting, and managed detection capabilities to ensure your investments in detection and response truly protect you against sophisticated attacks.

A Threat-Based Approach to Adversarial Reports

The quality of an adversarial test report determines how effectively your organization can respond to a real attack. HALOCK’s Threat-Based Approach ensures findings are prioritized based on risk, helping you focus on improvements that deliver measurable results.

We categorize each finding by:

• Complexity: How sophisticated or resource-intensive was the technique?

• Potential Impact: What business or data exposure could result from the attack?

• Frequency: How often are similar tactics observed in real-world campaigns?

This framework ensures your team understands both the technical and strategic implications of each finding.

Benchmarking and Tailored Remediation

HALOCK benchmarks your performance against industry peers and provides tailored remediation guidance designed for your environment. Recommendations focus on detection logic, endpoint visibility, response playbooks, and network segmentation — delivering improvements that strengthen resilience and reduce exposure to future attacks.
