Security Validation
Pressure-test your detection and response against the attacks that would actually target you — before someone else does.
The Open Security Experience
Discover → Validate → See & act → Improve. This engagement lights the stages that match how Open Security delivers it — and stays connected to the rest of the experience.
The problem
Tools are deployed, playbooks are written — but until a realistic adversary moves through your environment, nobody knows whether detection fires, escalation works, or recovery holds.
The first ransomware event should not be the first time the playbook is used.
SOC tooling is bought; nobody has proven the alert fires on a live path.
After-action notes from the last incident never became a rehearsal you can run again.
How the engagement is run
Operators run the engagement. You stay in the decisions that shape scope, evidence, and what gets closed.
Realistic TTPs matched to your maturity — not a fixed script or uncontrolled payload.
A controlled exercise through detect, escalate, and contain, with an agreed blast radius.
Where playbooks hold, where escalation stalls, and where evidence arrives too late.
Detection gaps, communications, and what to automate or rehearse next.
Updated playbooks and a baseline you can run again — so the first real event is not the first test.
The relationship
One exercise is a story. A repeatable scenario — with detect and contain metrics you can baseline — is how response gets stronger instead of starting from a blank playbook every year.
Scenarios and after-action work stay with the team that already knows your environment.
Detection gaps become tracked work, not a slide that dies in the readout.
You can run the same pressure again and see whether mean-time-to-detect actually moved.
The Open Security difference
Controlled TTPs and tooling — never uncontrolled payloads in production.
Red, blue, and purple formats matched to your team’s maturity, not a fixed script.
After-action focus on decisions: what to detect, what to automate, what to rehearse next.
Outcomes
An after-action report with concrete detection gaps
Updated IR playbooks and communication templates
Mean-time-to-detect and contain metrics you can baseline
A team that has rehearsed the worst day before it happens
What complements this engagement — and what teams typically run next.
Operators do the work. Technology keeps it connected.
Aludra
Operators draw on Aludra’s validation work so the exercise follows paths that are plausible in your environment — not a generic ransomware script.

RTable
After-action decisions and scenarios can live in RTable so the next exercise is a continuation — not a one-day event that never runs again.

We use controlled TTPs and tooling — never uncontrolled payloads in production. The pressure is realistic; the blast radius is agreed.
We match the format to your team’s maturity. Some organizations need a full red-team pressure test; others need a collaborative purple exercise that improves detection in the room.
A sponsor, the people who would actually detect and respond, and anyone who owns escalation. We do not run an exercise your operators cannot learn from.
A tabletop rehearses decisions. Threat simulation moves through the environment so you see whether detection fires and recovery holds. Many programs use both.
An after-action report, updated playbooks, and detect/contain metrics you can baseline — not a story with no next step.
The Open Security Experience
You do not need to buy the entire platform. These stages show how this service becomes more powerful as part of the Open Security Experience.
Talk with an operator about the scenario that would actually target you — and the blast radius you can live with.
