Adversary Simulation — Threat-Informed Red Team Exercises
Emulate real threat actors against crown-jewel objectives with MITRE ATT&CK-informed TTPs.
What is Adversary Simulation?
Adversary simulation exercises emulate the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of real threat groups relevant to your industry — ransomware affiliates, APT-style persistence, insider threats, or supply-chain compromise. Propel Ready designs scenarios from your threat model, uses ComplAI ASM for attacker-style reconnaissance, and executes controlled campaigns against crown-jewel objectives with manual attack simulation and purple-team collaboration.
Who needs Adversary Simulation?
Security leaders who need to validate whether detections, playbooks, and IR processes work against realistic adversary behavior — not just whether individual systems have open CVEs.
Key topics & methodology
- Threat-informed scenario design from your risk register
- MITRE ATT&CK technique selection and kill-chain execution
- Crown-jewel objective definition and success criteria
- Controlled social engineering and initial access vectors
- Detection gap analysis with purple-team tuning
- Board-ready ATT&CK heatmaps and remediation tracking
Typical engagement timeline
Full adversary simulation programs typically span 4–8 weeks. Focused threat-emulation sprints (e.g., ransomware or BEC scenarios) can run in 2–3 weeks.
How ComplAI & Propel Ready deliver Adversary Simulation
- Threat modeling workshop aligned to your industry threat intel
- Nine-phase managed program inside ComplAI Assurance
- ASM recon to mirror external attacker discovery
- Executive debrief with ATT&CK coverage analysis
- Remediation tracked against ISO 27001 and SOC 2 controls
Adversary Simulation FAQ
- What is adversary simulation?
- Adversary simulation is a structured exercise where security operators emulate real threat actor behavior — TTPs, kill chains, and objectives — to test whether your people, process, and technology detect and respond effectively.
