Inside the Attack: What a Red Team Revealed About a Pharma Giant’s Defences
Learn how advanced red teaming efforts helped a global pharma leader uncover hidden risks.
The Challenge
A global pharmaceutical organisation needed a clearer view of its security posture. With valuable research data and patient-related information at stake, the company wanted to identify weaknesses that attackers could exploit, test its incident response processes, and strengthen resilience against targeted, high-impact threats.
Our Approach
We conducted a comprehensive Red Teaming engagement that replicated real-world adversary behaviour. The assessment combined social engineering, in-depth vulnerability reviews, threat emulation and scenario-based attack simulations to reveal hidden gaps and validate how well the organisation could detect, contain and respond to active threats.
Key Results
- High risk vulnerabilities identified and resolved
- Reduced exposure across critical research systems
- Detection sharpened, recognizing advanced threats early
Service Highlights
- Realistic adversary simulation across people, processes and technology
- Social engineering assessments to measure employee readiness
- Deep vulnerability analysis across network, application and identity layers
- Scenario-driven testing of detection and response workflows
Client Gains
- Stronger protection for intellectual property
- Clear, prioritised guidance for improving incident response
- Better preparedness for targeted attacks
- Enhanced awareness across technical and non-technical teams
