Why choose our red teaming services
Enormous training potential
Through realistic adversary simulation, your employees learn how to detect and respond to real attacks.
Defense benchmark
Our security assessments truly evaluate the efficiency of your defense investments and provide clear recommendations on where improvements are needed.
Awareness
Red teaming demonstrates real impact, helping to create awareness without excuses like "But the attack wasn't conducted under real conditions".
The story behind slashsec
At slashsec, we all come from the pentesting field. To this day, we support our clients with classic security assessments, uncovering vulnerabilities and helping to fix them.
But pentests often don't reflect reality. Investments in defense mechanisms have increased massively, but are usually not tested along. New employees are hired to defend against APTs, but have never experienced a real attack.
That's why we decided to set a clear focus as an offensive security company: Red Teaming and adversary simulation services.
We've had the opportunity to run adversary simulation engagements against international corporations for several months and can confidently say that the added value is real.
We all have one thing in common at slashsec:
Years of experience, absolute expertise in offensive security, and an authentic hacker mindset.
Let's talk about whether and how our red teaming services can help your company too.
I look forward to meeting you!

Frequently asked questions
In our 30-minute initial consultation, you'll get all the information you need to decide whether it makes sense to take the next step with us.
If we both feel it's a good fit, we'll schedule an approximately one-hour strategy session. In this no-obligation strategy session, you'll gain comprehensive insight into our Red Teaming methods and how they can improve your company's cyber resilience. Afterward, you can decide whether to implement these strategies on your own or together with us. The value is guaranteed.
A note on expectations:
We can only take on a limited number of new clients and aim to build long-term sparring partnerships. Our primary goal is to determine upfront whether we can truly help you – specifically:
- Is your organization ready to honestly identify and address weaknesses?
- Are you open to intensive collaboration and employee training?
- Are you interested in a long-term partnership to continuously improve your security posture?
We'll discuss these questions in the strategy session as well. 👍
If you're interested in offensive security! We don't just do Red Teaming – our core expertise – we also regularly perform penetration tests.
Yes, slashsec conducts Red Teaming, Penetration Testing and Physical Security Assessments across the entire DACH region – in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Our headquarters are in Vienna, but we regularly work with clients in Munich, Frankfurt, Zurich, Berlin and other cities throughout the DACH region.
A pentest focuses on technical vulnerabilities in clearly defined systems. Red teaming services go further: as a full adversary simulation, they cover all attack vectors – phishing, physical security, social engineering and technical exploitation – under real conditions with active defenses. Red teaming tests people, processes and technology simultaneously. Learn more in our Security Blog.
Yes, Physical Security Assessments are one of our core services. We test physical protection measures such as locking systems, access cards, alarm systems and CCTV through realistic intrusion simulations – from tailgating and access card cloning to planting hardware implants. We conduct these tests in office buildings, data centres, production facilities and critical infrastructure across Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
Red Teaming Assessments aren't the right fit for every company. The following factors indicate whether a Red Teaming Assessment makes sense for your organization:
- You already conduct regular penetration tests.
- You've already implemented security monitoring – meaning you have visibility into your IT networks.
- Your budget for a Red Teaming Assessment is at least €40,000.
If you can check these boxes, it's worth having a conversation about Red Teaming Assessments! 👍
No, we are a pure consulting firm with a clear focus, committed to remaining independent of vendor opinions and influence.
