C3SA live-fire exercises place teams in controlled adversarial scenarios where people, process and technology are tested together against realistic attacker behavior.
Our work is designed around practical outcomes, not activity for its own sake.
Competitive attacker-defender scenarios with defined objectives.
Collaborative attack and defence to improve coverage and response.
Multi-stage intrusion, persistence, impact and recovery scenarios.
Identity, cloud control-plane and workload attack paths.
Safety-aware adversarial scenarios for operational environments.
Custom exercises tied to business, defence or critical-infrastructure missions.
In a C3SA live-fire exercise, an authorized team uses real attack techniques against a defined target, in a cyber range or an agreed part of your environment, while defenders respond in real time. Scope, safety limits and stop conditions are written into rules of engagement first.
An attacking team pursues defined objectives while defenders work to detect and stop them, without advance notice of the techniques used.
What you get
Attackers and defenders work together technique by technique, tuning detection and response as they go.
What you get
A multi-stage scenario covering initial access, persistence, lateral movement, impact and recovery, testing both technical response and business decisions.
What you get
Attack paths through cloud identities, control planes and workloads, testing whether cloud logging and detection catch them.
What you get
Safety-aware scenarios for operational environments, normally run in isolated or simulated industrial environments rather than live production. See OT/ICS exercises.
What you get
Custom exercises tied to a business, defence or critical-infrastructure mission, testing whether the mission can continue under attack.
What you get
Engagements can be targeted, project-based or part of a broader transformation program.
Teams need to know whether they can act under realistic pressure. C3SA runs authorized, controlled scenarios that test technical detection, decision-making, communication and recovery together, using your real tooling wherever possible.
Live-fire is only valuable if it leads to change. Each exercise produces performance measures and an after-action plan, and follow-on exercises verify the improvements.
Real offensive techniques are executed by an authorized team against a defined target, and defenders respond with their real tools and procedures. The target can be a cyber range or an agreed part of your environment. Nothing happens outside the written rules of engagement.
Only within an agreed scope, with safety limits, stop conditions and a control team that can halt activity. Many exercises run entirely in a range to avoid production risk.
A tabletop exercise talks through decisions. Live-fire tests whether people, processes and technology actually perform when an attack is under way.
