Red Team Exercise
for Critical Infrastructure
Red Team Exercise by Security Researchers With 150+ CVEs in SAP, IBM, Microsoft, CyberArk and more...
Red Team Excersise Validating Your Defenses
Here's what happens with most security programs:
Controls look good on paper.
Your SOC has detection rules.
Network segmentation between IT and OT is documented.
Everyone assumes the defenses work.
We show you what breaks, how it breaks, and what customer data is exposed
We validate your defenses through adversary simulation. You see which attack paths reach critical systems, which controls failed during exploitation, and get remediation priorities based on risk in your environment
Why Organizations Choose AFINE Red Team Exercises
We've conducted red team exercises on industrial systems for 10 years. You get operators who understand adversary movement from contractor networks to control infrastructure, and reports showing which controls failed. We simulate realistic attack chains to SCADA systems.
Purple Team Mode Available
Most critical infrastructure clients choose purple team collaboration during red team exercise. Your SOC sees our activity in real time. We explain what we're doing, what it looks like in logs, and how detection should work for OT-targeted attacks.
You get both security validation and immediate SOC improvements. Your analysts learn what sophisticated attacks on industrial systems look like while they're happening - from IT-to-OT lateral movement to control system compromise attempts.
Our Services
Attack Path Validation to Control Systems
We simulate adversary movement from initial compromise to control system access during red team exercises. This includes privilege escalation routes, credential theft from engineering workstations, and lateral movement through IT/OT boundaries. Testing validates whether your defenses stop attackers before they reach operational technology.
SOC Detection and Response
We test if your SOC detects sophisticated attacks on industrial systems through red team exercises. SIEM rules for IT-to-OT lateral movement. Credential dumping from engineering environments. Alert triggering and response times. Purple team mode provides real-time feedback on detection capabilities for OT-targeted attacks.
IT/OT Segmentation Effectiveness
We simulate attacks from corporate networks to operational technology environments during red team exercises. This includes firewall bypass attempts, network boundary testing, and whether segmentation rules actually stop lateral movement to SCADA systems and control infrastructure.
Third-Party and Vendor Access
We assess vendor integration security and remote access paths through adversary simulation. This includes contractor VPN exploitation, partner connection compromise, and whether third-party access provides routes to control systems. Testing validates monitoring coverage for external connections.
Physical Security and Social Engineering
We test physical access controls and employee manipulation during red team exercises. This includes building penetration to control rooms, credential harvesting through social engineering, and tailgating scenarios. Testing validates whether physical security breaches translate to control system access.
Insider Threat Simulation
We simulate what happens when legitimate access gets abused during red team exercises. This includes privileged account compromise, data exfiltration from authorized systems, and malicious activity from trusted accounts. Testing if your monitoring catches insider threats that look like normal operational behavior.
Multi-Vector Attack Scenarios
We combine digital attacks, social engineering, and physical penetration during red team exercises. This includes phishing campaigns targeting operators, exploitation of internet-facing systems, and coordinated attacks across multiple entry points. Testing validates your organization's ability to detect and respond to complex threats.
Command and Control Detection
We test whether your defenses detect command and control infrastructure during red team exercises. This includes C2 communication to compromised systems, data exfiltration channels, and persistence mechanisms. Testing validates if your SOC identifies ongoing attacker presence in industrial environments.
The Enterprise Security Software We Hacked
Our red team exercise validates defenses across enterprise platforms running critical operations. We simulate sophisticated adversaries exploiting both known CVEs and zero-days that nobody's documented yet.
Memory corruption in Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML) allows remote code execution via crafted web content
SQL injection in F5 BIG-IP AFM (Advanced Firewall Manager) allows database attacks on security appliance

The AFINE Adaptive Security Framework (AASF)
A framework developed from a decade of security assessments and continuously refined as attack methods evolve. Our methodology reflects current threat patterns and the practical security decisions organizations face as their attack surface expands.
Fix-It Roadmap
Remediation prioritized by exploitability in your environment. You get CVSS scores and attack chain documentation showing what adversaries would target first in your critical infrastructure.

Fix-It Roadmap
Priority-ranked remediation based on exploitability in your specific environment - not just CVSS scores in isolation. We give you specific implementation guidance so your teams know exactly what to fix, how to approach it, and why it matters for your setup.
Security Engagement Designed for Your Organization
We build our approach around your specific architecture, threat landscape, and how your business actually operates.
Dual-Track Reporting
Your technical teams get the full exploitation details and working proof-of-concepts they need. Leadership gets business impact: regulatory exposure, operational risk, revenue implications. No one's stuck playing translator.
Immediate Risk Intelligence
Critical findings come to you within 48 hours. We don't bury them in a final report you'll see weeks later. Your teams can start fixing immediately.
We’re ready to deliver next-level security
Why Organizations Trust Us
AFINE moved from third-choice pentesting supplier to first-choice partner. They keep finding important, and in a few cases even critical issues in places where other pentesters have not found them.
AFINE has been our security testing partner since 2020, consistently delivering exceptional results. Their team identifies advanced vulnerabilities that significantly strengthen our security posture. Reports clearly explain risks with actionable detail for rapid remediation. They consistently meet our aggressive deadlines while maintaining flexibility. Highly recommended as a trusted cybersecurity partner.
I am super impressed. This is really thorough. You have uncovered vulnerabilities that our previous pentest failed to detect. Incredible work. Thank you very much!
We've partnered with AFINE for over 5 years, during which they've conducted dozens of security audits for BGK - including penetration tests, security analyses, abuse testing, and source code reviews. Their work consistently meets the highest standards, delivers on time, and provides excellent value. I highly recommend AFINE for their professionalism, flexibility, and collaborative approach.
The AFINE team performed application analysis and tests of IT environments for us. Provision of services - at the highest level. Information received and knowledge transferred - priceless. I recommend it with a clear conscience, although you have to be prepared for strong impressions.
AFINE delivered sharply prioritized, high-impact findings that allowed us to focus our security efforts exactly where they mattered most. There was no wasted time on low-risk noise - only clear, actionable issues with real business relevance. The engagement was efficient, communication was excellent, and the return on investment was immediately evident.
