es that would be ideal but unfortunately there is always pushback due to
perception of privacy impact to staff / employees and also risk of
accidentally nuking the entire organization due to "unexpected changes".
You can try though and I wish you luck getting executives to sign off on
that risk. Or you could just buy Immunity Innuendo for $50K or Cobalt
Strike with beacon for about 1/10th that and get close to "APT
simulation"...

In my view, security improvements in organisations are driven by breaches
and red team exercises/pentests. While breaches give hard lessons learned,
red teams often don't and that's because we reward red teamers for a
"domain admin" rather than longer term persistent access.

This is what I call reach for the sky/rocket launch: you get domain admin,
get a screenshot of CEO's e-mail and declare job done. In reality, a good
simulation would be to "stay airborne" - take a screenshot of CEO's
e-mail/exfil PST every week.

That's not to say that there isn't a scenario where desctruction of assets
is the end-goal of an attacker, but even then, I would argue that red
teamers ought to put an .exe in autoruns for every PC they wish to have
done a simulated wipe.
