RED TEAMING AS A SERVICE
TEST YOUR ORGANISATION’S DEFENCE AND RESPONSE CAPABILITIES.
IDENTIFY REAL WORLD RISKS.
Red teaming is the process of using the mindset of a threat actor to assess an organisation’s cyber resilience.
A red team is designed to simulate a real-world attack by a real-life adversary who is neither constrained by time or by scope. The red team puts your Australian organisation’s systems to the test, using offensive techniques to assess the effectiveness of people, policy, processes, and technology.
Red teaming challenges assumptions and identifies vulnerabilities in order to make an organisation more secure and able to respond to threats that may not have previously been considered.
THE PROCESS
Loop commences all red team engagements by exploring the red teaming mindset and what it means to think like an adversary in relation to your specific business model.
Next, the red team will move through the key stages of adversary simulation, from reconnaissance, to planning, to physically simulating attacks.
Loop will then move into exploring the broader benefits and tangible outcomes of performing adversary simulation for the organisation, such as the opportunity for security teams to have a realistic adversary engage them.
RESULTS
Realistic exercises of this type helps the security team become more adaptable and creative in defense thinking, one of the positive impacts red teaming can have on an organisation’s security culture.
Loop is dedicated to supporting your organisation in becoming more proactive in securing what is most valuable to your business, and encouraging alternative thinking to prevent, detect and respond to current and future security threats.
Red teaming results in a better understanding of possible adversaries that could target you organisation and helps improve counter measures against adversaries and future threats.
Red teaming challenges underlying assumptions made by organisations when defending against adversaries, and compels organisations to think outside the box and enhance their overall decision-making.
Most importantly, Red teaming ensures security testing is always tied to business context and addresses real-world business risk.

THE BEST DEFENCE IS GOOD OFFENCE.
SEE HOW YOU FAIR AGAINST REAL-TIME ATTACKS BEFORE THEY HAPPEN.
No matter the size of your organisation, you can be targeted by cyber-attacks.
A red team will get you on the offensive, by showing how a real attacker thinks. They will test your organisation’s defences using the latest exploit techniques. These attack simulations are designed to assess and significantly improve the effectiveness of your organisation’s complete defensive line, from your digital and physical assets, all the way through to your employees.
Loop Secure’s Red Teaming as a Service is designed to deliver an ongoing, year-round approach to testing for your cyber weaknesses. This methodology takes you beyond the one-off, project-based approach of standard red teaming, giving your organisation agile, comprehensive protection.
WHY YOUR ORGANISATION NEEDS TO EMPLOY RED TEAM TESTING?
When employing a red teaming service in Australia, your organisation will benefit in more ways than you can count. Stepping into the shoes of the adversary will provide immeasurable benefits including:
- Awareness of the gaps in your security systems
- Mitigating risk and vulnerabilities
- Understanding how to combat the latest exploit techniques, even as they evolve.
- Achieving a constant state of readiness with a comprehensive response plan
- Protecting your organisation and client data
- Maintaining a good reputation amongst existing and potential clients
- Future-proofing your security practices

Why is red teaming important in Australia?
Red teaming is important for any organisation to conduct, whether it operates within Australia or internationally. Red teaming is designed to test people, processes, and technology before a malicious attack takes place. Performing these real-world attacks within the safety of a simulated environment is the best possible way to identify gaps within your organisation’s security systems so that you can remediate them as soon as possible.
What is the difference between red teaming and penetration testing?
While red teaming and penetration testing are both offensive approaches to cyber security testing, they are in fact different. While penetration testing tries to find as many vulnerabilities as possible, using every technique available, red teaming has very specific objectives.
Red teams aim to test specific scenarios and assess how organisations respond to certain threats. Red teaming complements traditional security testing programs such as vulnerability assessments and penetration testing.
Where does the term red teaming come from?
The terms “red teaming” and “blue teaming” stems from a concept derived from military exercises. The terms are essentially pointing out that the two teams are opposing each other, much like they are on the colour spectrum. The red team is the offensive team, while the blue is on the defence.
