Red Team & Adversary Simulation — Saudi Arabia

A scan tells you what's vulnerable. A red team tells you what an actual attacker would achieve. Skyline runs objective-based adversary simulation for Saudi organisations — emulating real threat-actor tradecraft end to end to answer the only question that matters to your board: could someone reach the crown jewels, and would we notice?

Unlike a scoped penetration test, a red team is goal-driven and stealth-aware. We define crown-jewel objectives with you (a payment system, a SCADA controller, sensitive customer data, domain dominance), then pursue them across the most realistic path — external footholds, phishing and social engineering, physical access where authorised, lateral movement, privilege escalation, and command-and-control — all mapped to MITRE ATT&CK so you see exactly which tactics succeeded and which were caught.

• Objective-based engagements — measured against your real crown jewels, not a generic checklist.
• Full kill-chain — initial access, social engineering, lateral movement, escalation and exfiltration, with strict rules of engagement.
• Purple teaming — work alongside your defenders to tune detections live, turning the exercise into measurable blue-team improvement.
• Threat-led testing — scenario design suited to regulated sectors, including the intelligence-led style of testing financial entities undergo under SAMA.
• Actionable reporting — attack narrative, detection gaps, and a prioritised hardening roadmap your team can execute.

We test web and network targets, wireless, cloud, and — where in scope — OT/ICS environments, with careful safety controls for production. Engagements are scoped under formal authorisation and rules of engagement, delivered across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and the GCC, vendor-neutral and confidential.
