What We Do

First Strike’s Red Team Cybersecurity Assessments (RTCA) are highly organized, coordinated, multi-faceted, multi-pronged, multi-actor simulated cyber-attacks designed to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in your applications or infrastructure. It is as close as you can get to the real thing, without the risk.

Unlike standard “Pen Tests” (penetration testing), our RTCAs are incredibly in-depth; they are conducted over a period of weeks or months and rigorously test and challenge every aspect of an organization’s effectiveness and efficiency (both in terms of technology and personnel) in detecting and responding to external and internal threats.
