Specialist Cyber

Traditional penetration testing is highly valuable but focuses on specifc, targetted parts of the overall security picture. In the real world, attackers do not limit themselves to a single system or a fixed scope. They combine technical exploits with phishing, social engineering, physical intrusion, and stealthy persistence to achieve their objectives.

Parabellum’s Red Teaming and Adversary Simulation service recreates these real-world attack campaigns. Our consultants adopt the mindset, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of advanced threat actors, testing not just your systems but your entire organisation. We design bespoke scenarios based on your industry, threat profile, and critical assets — from stealing sensitive data to disrupting operations or bypassing monitoring controls.

What sets Parabellum apart is our people. Our Red Team engagements are delivered by consultants holding industry-leading certifications in red team operations, ensuring that every exercise meets the highest professional and technical standards. With backgrounds spanning national security, enterprise defence, and offensive operations, our team brings the expertise of real-world adversaries into a controlled, ethical engagement.

This service extends beyond technical testing. We evaluate human and physical vulnerabilities, test staff awareness, and probe the effectiveness of detection and response teams. Our engagements often remain covert, revealing how long it takes for your organisation to spot and react to a persistent attacker.

Findings are delivered with precision: evidence of exploitation, timelines of activity, and clear recommendations for strengthening resilience. The outcome is not just a report, but actionable insight into how you withstand determined adversaries in the real world.

Red Teaming reveals what an attacker could do. Blue Teams defend against those attacks. But too often, these exercises happen in isolation, creating missed opportunities to learn and improve together.

Parabellum’s Purple Team Exercises bring these worlds together. Our consultants run controlled attack simulations while working directly with your defenders to observe, measure, and improve response capabilities in real time. Instead of waiting for a report, your teams receive immediate feedback: which techniques were detected, which alerts triggered, and where monitoring failed.

These exercises are tailored to your environment and threat landscape. We replicate the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of relevant adversaries, whether phishing campaigns, lateral movement, or advanced persistence techniques. Each scenario is mapped to frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, providing a structured way to measure coverage and improvement.

The result is rapid, measurable uplift. Your SOC, IR team, and security tools evolve faster, closing detection gaps and building confidence that when a real adversary strikes, you’ll see and stop them.

Cloud adoption brings agility, scale, and flexibility but also new risks. Misconfigurations, overly broad permissions, and poor monitoring are among the leading causes of cloud breaches. Without structured review, it is easy for organisations to lose sight of whether their environments are secure.

Parabellum’s Cloud Security Configuration Review provides assurance that your cloud foundations are correctly deployed and resilient against attack. Our consultants perform deep technical reviews across platforms including AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, assessing identity and access management, networking, encryption, monitoring, and logging controls.

We benchmark your environments against globally recognised, stringent standards such as the CIS Cloud Benchmarks and Cloud Security best practices. Where gaps are identified, we provide clear, prioritised remediation steps that balance compliance obligations with business practicality.

The outcome is more than a checklist. It is confidence that your cloud environment is resilient, compliant, and aligned with both technical best practice and regulatory requirements.

‍

Security is strongest when designed into systems from the beginning. In hybrid environments, where cloud services and enterprise infrastructure converge, architectural weaknesses often create exploitable gaps. Overly permissive identities, flat networks, and misaligned controls are common failure points that adversaries often seek to exploit.

Parabellum’s Security Architecture Review (Cloud & Enterprise) assesses the design of your technology stack against recognised architecture standards and best practices. Our consultants review cloud-native architectures (AWS, Azure, GCP) against the CIS Cloud Benchmarks, the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Cloud Controls Matrix, and provider-specific frameworks such as the AWS Well-Architected Framework and the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework.

For enterprise infrastructure, we evaluate design and governance against models such as TOGAF, as well as Zero Trust principles and NIST 800-53 controls. This ensures both cloud and enterprise architectures are resilient, scalable, and defensible against modern attacks.

The outcome is assurance that your environments are built on secure foundations — with actionable recommendations to strengthen resilience, reduce risk, and align architecture with recognised standards.

Industrial environments are increasingly in the crosshairs of sophisticated attackers. The convergence of IT and OT has created new pathways into systems that once operated in isolation. Misconfigured SCADA devices, weak segmentation, and third-party dependencies can now be exploited to disrupt operations, damage infrastructure, or compromise safety.

Parabellum’s Industrial Security services provide comprehensive assurance across OT, SCADA, and ICS environments. We conduct penetration testing and red team simulations that replicate the tactics of nation-state and cybercriminal adversaries, safely uncovering vulnerabilities without disrupting operations. These tests validate segmentation, access controls, detection, and incident response readiness across your industrial environment.

Our offering goes beyond technical assessments. We deliver governance and compliance support, helping organisations align with frameworks such as ISA/IEC 62443, the AESCSF, and Australian SOCI Act (Security of Critical Infrastructure) obligations. We also provide tailored advisory for boards, risk committees, and compliance teams, ensuring security is integrated with business risk management.

The result is holistic assurance: your industrial systems are tested against advanced threats, strengthened with practical remediation guidance, and aligned to the regulations and frameworks that matter most.

Technology can block many threats, but people remain the first line of defence. Phishing, social engineering, and human error continue to be the leading causes of breaches. To address this, security awareness must go beyond tick-box compliance, it requires continuous reinforcement and practical education.

Parabellum’s Security Awareness Training combines continuous phishing resilience programs with expert-led education. Staff experience ongoing phishing simulations and interactive e-learning modules designed to build recognition, improve response, and reinforce behaviours over time.

For deeper engagement, we deliver dedicated in-person and virtual workshops led by experienced cyber educators. These sessions go beyond phishing to cover real-world attack scenarios, secure practices, and role-specific responsibilities.

This blended approach ensures training is both continuous and immersive: employees learn in the flow of work while also gaining focused insights from seasoned practitioners. The result is a workforce that is alert, confident, and capable of responding to threats — reducing human risk and strengthening organisational resilience.
