Red teaming has evolved from simply 'hacking into the network' to precisely simulating real APT campaigns. DNA combines AI with offensive security experience to create complex, multi-vector, and harder-to-detect red team operations.
AI-Augmented Attack Chains
DNA uses AI to design and execute complex attack chains. Claude Opus-4.6 analyzes the target environment and suggests optimal attack paths based on the MITRE ATT&CK framework. AI also helps adapt tactics in real-time based on the defensive team's response.
- Initial Access: AI-crafted spear phishing with OSINT-driven personalization
- Execution: AI-generated payloads bypass EDR/XDR detection
- Persistence: AI designs persistence mechanisms unique to each environment
- Lateral Movement: AI mapping network paths and identifying high-value targets
- Exfiltration: AI-optimized covert channels and data staging
MITRE ATT&CK Integration
Every DNA red team engagement is fully mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. AI automatically tracks techniques and tactics used, helping clients understand exactly their defensive gaps compared to real APT groups.

Multi-Vector Campaigns
Modern APT groups don't attack from a single vector. DNA simulates multi-vector campaigns: combining social engineering, network exploitation, web application attacks, and physical security testing in a unified campaign, orchestrated by AI.
shield In the most recent red team engagement, DNA achieved domain admin access within 72 hours by combining AI-crafted phishing with automated lateral movement - precisely simulating APT29's TTPs.
The best red team is the one the blue team doesn't know is happening. AI helps us achieve stealth levels that previously required months of preparation.
