Comparison
Full adversary simulation — or the reconnaissance layer first?
Red teams emulate sophisticated attackers end-to-end. AiVersary focuses on the open-source intelligence and scenario design that usually starts that journey — so you can see exposure before funding a multi-week exercise.
AiVersary is not a replacement for a mature red team program. It is often the missing first mile: public reconnaissance packaged for business decisions.
| Dimension | AiVersary | Red team engagement |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | External OSINT + crafted attack scenarios | Multi-week adversary emulation across people, process, and tech |
| Cost | From $499 | Typically tens of thousands; often $40K+ for serious programs |
| Disruption | None to production systems | Can stress detection, response, and staff — by design |
| Deliverable | Board-ready report with threat narratives | TTPs, detection gaps, purple-team style findings |
| Cadence | Easy to repeat per domain or after major change | Annual or event-driven; heavy to re-run |
Choose AiVersary when
- You want red-team-quality narratives without commissioning a full exercise
- You need something leadership can read before approving a larger program
- You are building a case for budget with concrete public-exposure evidence
Choose Red team engagement when
- You must test detection and response against live TTPs
- Regulators or customers require adversary simulation evidence
- You already have strong OSINT hygiene and need operational stress-testing
AiVersary is priced per report. Red team engagements are custom — ask Sittadel about Full Engagement if you need hands-on work beyond reconnaissance.
