# Understand how an attack could succeed. Know what to improve.

Choose the right assessment, define meaningful objectives and turn technical evidence into practical action.

## Choose the right assessment

![penetration-testing@2x](https://www.alchemysec.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/Icons/penetration-testing@2x.png?width=40&height=40&name=penetration-testing@2x.png)

### Penetration Testing

 Where are the exploitable weaknesses? Assess defined applications, APIs, networks or cloud services, with validated findings and prioritised remediation guidance.

[Explore penetration testing](https://www.alchemysec.com.au/services/offensive/pentest?hsLang=en-au)

![](https://www.alchemysec.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/Icons/penetration-testing@2x.png?width=40&height=40&name=penetration-testing@2x.png)

### Red Teaming

 Could a realistic attacker achieve a critical objective? A controlled campaign tests your people, processes and technology against agreed objectives, with a trusted control group overseeing the engagement.

[Explore red teaming](https://www.alchemysec.com.au/services/offensive/red-teaming?hsLang=en-au)

![red-purple-teaming@2x](https://www.alchemysec.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/Icons/red-purple-teaming@2x.png?width=40&height=40&name=red-purple-teaming@2x.png)

### Purple Teaming

 Can your defenders see and stop the techniques that matter? Work alongside our specialists to execute techniques, observe telemetry, improve controls and retest the outcome.

[Explore purple teaming](https://www.alchemysec.com.au/services/offensive/purple-teaming?hsLang=en-au)

![adversary-simulation@2x](https://www.alchemysec.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/Icons/adversary-simulation@2x.png?width=40&height=40&name=adversary-simulation@2x.png)

### Adversary Simulation

 How would you perform against a specific threat? Validate your controls through a campaign based on a relevant threat actor or profile, using representative techniques within agreed operating boundaries.

[Explore adversary simulation](https://www.alchemysec.com.au/services/offensive/adversary-simulation?hsLang=en-au)

## Clear scope. Useful evidence.

### Clear objectives

We agree scope, authorisation, operating constraints and success criteria before testing begins.

### Controlled execution

Technical leads direct the work, with critical exposures escalated through agreed channels.

### Practical outcomes

Independently reviewed findings explain what we tested, what we observed, the assessment limitations and the actions that matter next.

## Need assurance throughout the year?

 New assets, configuration changes and emerging attack paths can make a single assessment insufficient. Continuous Threat Emulation provides ongoing offensive assurance as your environment changes. We can help determine whether a one-off assessment or a continuing programme fits your objectives.

## Not sure where to start?

Tell us what you need to validate. We’ll help choose the assessment and scope that fit.
