Security That Holds Under Attack
Cybersecurity
Our cybersecurity services focus on identifying, reducing, and managing real-world risk across applications, infrastructure, and operational workflows. We approach security as an engineering discipline—grounded in threat modeling, practical testing, and defensive design rather than checklists or superficial compliance.
Continuous Asset Discovery & Cataloging
We don't just scan known IP ranges; we perform recursive discovery to map your entire digital footprint. This includes identifying "Shadow IT," forgotten subdomains, ephemeral cloud instances, and legacy staging environments that often serve as silent entry points for attackers.
Authenticated vs. Unauthenticated Scanning
We conduct dual-perspective assessments. External unauthenticated scans simulate what a random attacker sees from the internet, while deep-dive authenticated scans (credentialed) audit the patch levels, registry settings, and configuration hardening of internal assets, revealing risks that firewalls hide.
False Positive Triage & Validation
Automated scanners are noisy. Our engineers manually verify findings to eliminate false positives, ensuring your team doesn't waste hours chasing ghost vulnerabilities. We validate exploitability context—for example, flagging that a vulnerable service is behind a VPN and not internet-facing, altering its risk score.
Risk-Based Prioritization (KEV Mapping)
We move beyond generic CVSS scores by correlating findings with Real-World Threat Intelligence. We prioritize remediation based on the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog and active dark web chatter, ensuring you fix the bugs that hackers are actually using right now.
Configuration Hardening Review
Vulnerabilities aren't just missing patches; they are often dangerous defaults. We audit configurations against CIS Benchmarks and DISA STIGs, checking for weak ciphers, open management ports, default credentials, and insecure protocol usage (e.g., Telnet, SMBv1).
Compliance Mapping
We automatically map discovered vulnerabilities to specific regulatory controls (PCI-DSS 4.0, HIPAA, SOC2, GDPR). This transforms technical findings into audit-ready artifacts, helping your GRC team demonstrate due diligence to auditors and regulators.
Exploitation & Vulnerability Chaining
Unlike scanners that report isolated bugs, we attempt to "chain" multiple low-risk findings together to achieve a high-impact objective. For example, combining a minor information disclosure with a local file inclusion (LFI) vulnerability to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) on a critical server.
Privilege Escalation Simulation
Once we gain a foothold (low-level user access), we simulate the behavior of an insider threat. We attempt to escalate privileges vertically (User to Admin/Root) and horizontally (User A to User B) by exploiting kernel exploits, misconfigured permissions, and stored secrets.
Lateral Movement Testing
We test your network segmentation by attempting to pivot from a compromised workstation to sensitive servers. We utilize standard administrative tools (PowerShell, WMI, SMB) in malicious ways—techniques often missed by antivirus—to verify if an attacker can traverse your VLANs.
Data Exfiltration & DLP Testing
We don't just find the data; we try to steal it. We simulate data exfiltration attempts over various covert channels (DNS tunneling, ICMP, encrypted HTTPS) to test the effectiveness of your Data Loss Prevention (DLP) systems and egress filtering rules.
Active Directory (AD) Exploitation
For internal networks, we rigorously test Active Directory security. We attempt advanced attacks like Kerberoasting, AS-REP Roasting, Golden/Silver Ticket creation, and DCSync attacks to verify if your Identity and Access Management (IAM) infrastructure is resilient against total compromise.
Post-Exploitation Persistence
We verify detection capabilities by attempting to establish persistence. We create scheduled tasks, manipulate registry keys, or deploy web shells to see if your Security Operations Center (SOC) can detect a dormant attacker waiting to strike again.
Advanced Adversary Emulation
We don't just "hack"; we act. We emulate the Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) of specific Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups relevant to your industry (e.g., Lazarus, APT29). This tests your defenses against the exact type of enemy you are most likely to face.
Stealth & Evasion Techniques
Our operators utilize advanced evasion techniques to bypass EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response) and AV solutions. We use "Living off the Land" (LotL) binaries, in-memory execution, and obfuscated payloads to test the true detection limits of your defensive stack.
Social Engineering Campaigns
Technology is often stronger than psychology. We launch multi-vector social engineering campaigns—including spear-phishing emails, vishing (voice phishing), and pretexting—to test the security awareness of your employees and the effectiveness of your email filtering controls.
Objective-Based Trophy Hunting
Unlike a pentest which seeks "all bugs," a Red Team operation is objective-based. We define "crown jewels" (e.g., accessing the swift payment terminal, stealing source code, accessing CEO email) and focus purely on achieving these goals undetected, mirroring a real targeted espionage campaign.
Command & Control (C2) Traffic Analysis
We deploy custom Command and Control infrastructure using malleable profiles that blend in with legitimate network traffic. This tests your network team's ability to distinguish between a user browsing the web and a compromised laptop beaconing out to a hacker's server.
Physical & Wireless Security (Optional)
Where scoped, we extend operations to the physical realm. We attempt to clone access cards, bypass physical mantraps, or breach the network via rogue Wi-Fi access points and "Evil Twin" attacks, verifying that your office perimeter is as secure as your firewall.
Business Logic Flaw Analysis
Automated tools fail here. We manually analyze your application's workflows to find logic errors—such as bypassing payment steps, applying negative coupons, or manipulating race conditions in inventory systems—that technically "work" as coded but devastate the business.
API-Specific Attacks (OWASP API Top 10)
We rigorously test REST and GraphQL endpoints for API-specific vulnerabilities. This includes Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA/IDOR), Mass Assignment (modifying read-only fields), and Improper Assets Management (accessing deprecated v1 endpoints).
Injection Attacks & Input Handling
We go far beyond simple SQL injection. We test for Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI), OS Command Injection, LDAP injection, and NoSQL injection vulnerabilities that allow attackers to execute commands or extract entire databases through search bars and form fields.
Authentication & Session Management
We audit your identity layer. We test for JWT signing vulnerabilities, OAuth 2.0 misconfigurations (redirect_uri manipulation), session fixation, and weak password recovery flows to ensure that user identities cannot be hijacked.
GraphQL Introspection & Abuse
For modern stacks, we analyze GraphQL schemas for complexity attacks (DoS via nested queries), introspection abuse (leaking hidden fields), and authorization gaps where the graph allows access to unconnected data objects.
Client-Side Security Controls
We review the security of the code running in the user's browser. We test for DOM-based XSS, Clickjacking defenses (CSP/X-Frame-Options), insecure local storage usage, and third-party dependency vulnerabilities (Supply Chain checks via npm audit).
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) Review
We audit your AWS, Azure, or GCP environments against CIS benchmarks. We check for common but critical errors like public S3 buckets, unencrypted EBS volumes, overly permissive Security Groups, and logging configurations that fail to capture critical audit trails.
IAM Privilege Escalation Analysis
In the cloud, Identity is the perimeter. We map out complex IAM relationships to find "AssumeRole" chains that allow a low-privilege service account (e.g., a Lambda function) to escalate to AdministratorAccess, effectively taking over the entire cloud tenant.
Kubernetes & Container Breakouts
We attack your container orchestration layer. We test for container breakout techniques, insecure capabilities (privileged containers), exposed Docker sockets, and weak RBAC policies in Kubernetes that could allow a compromised pod to access the underlying node or the API server.
CI/CD Pipeline Security
We audit the software factory itself. We verify that your Jenkins/GitLab/GitHub Actions pipelines are secure against "Repo Jacking," environment variable leakage, and untrusted code execution, preventing attackers from poisoning your software supply chain.
Network Segmentation Verification
We validate your "Zero Trust" claims. We perform segmentation tests to verify that Development, Staging, and Production environments are truly isolated, and that a breach in the DMZ cannot result in direct access to the Cardholder Data Environment (CDE).
Real-Time Collaborative Workshops
We break down the wall between Red (Attackers) and Blue (Defenders). In these "open book" exercises, the Red team executes an attack, and we immediately pause to check if the Blue team saw it. If not, we tune the tools on the spot until detection is confirmed.
Detection Engineering & SIEM Tuning
We help you write high-fidelity detection logic (Sigma rules, Splunk queries). We execute specific techniques (e.g., LSASS dumping) to verify that your SIEM alerts trigger correctly, tuning out noise to ensure your analysts only see high-confidence alerts.
Attack Replay & Regression Testing
We employ "Attack as Code" methodologies to script specific attack patterns. We leave these scripts with your team so you can replay them periodically (Regression Testing) to ensure that a detection rule created today isn't accidentally broken by a system update tomorrow.
Defensive Gap Analysis
We map your detection capabilities against the MITRE ATT&CK matrix. This produces a visual heat map showing exactly where your blind spots are (e.g., "We have great coverage for Malware, but zero visibility into Exfiltration").
Incident Response Playbook Validation
We test your processes, not just your tech. When an alert fires during the exercise, we watch how your SOC responds. Do they follow the playbook? Is the playbook accurate? We refine these human processes to reduce Mean Time To Respond (MTTR).
Log Source Validation
You can't detect what you don't see. We verify that critical event logs (Windows Event Logs, CloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs) are actually making it to your SIEM and aren't being dropped due to rate limits or misconfiguration.
Architectural Risk Analysis
We analyze your system diagrams before a single line of code is written. By reviewing data flows and component interactions, we identify fundamental design flaws that would be prohibitively expensive to fix after deployment.
Structured Methodologies (STRIDE/DREAD)
We utilize industry-standard frameworks like STRIDE (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, Elevation of Privilege) to systematically categorize potential threats against every component of your application.
Attack Surface Mapping
We meticulously map every entry and exit point of your system—APIs, UI forms, file uploads, third-party integrations. This creates a comprehensive "Attack Surface" map that guides developers on where to focus their defensive coding efforts.
Trust Boundary Definition
We identify where data crosses between different levels of trust (e.g., Public Internet -> Web Server -> Database). We verify that appropriate validation and sanitization occur at every boundary crossing, enforcing the principle of Zero Trust.
Security Requirements Engineering
We translate vague security goals into concrete, testable non-functional requirements. Instead of "make it secure," we define "User passwords must be hashed with Argon2id" or "API rate limits must be enforced per tenant," giving developers a clear checklist.
Supply Chain & Dependency Modeling
We model the risks introduced by third-party libraries and SaaS integrations. We analyze the impact of a potential compromise in a downstream vendor, helping you design resiliency and fail-safes into your integration points.
Executive Strategic Summaries
We translate technical findings into business language. We provide high-level summaries that quantify risk in terms of financial impact, brand reputation, and regulatory liability, empowering C-level executives to make informed budget decisions regarding security.
Technical Reproduction Guides
We don't just say "it's broken." We provide step-by-step reproduction guides, complete with HTTP requests, exploit scripts, and video evidence. This allows your developers to reliably reproduce the issue in their local environment, speeding up the fix.
Prioritized Remediation Roadmaps
We categorize findings into immediate "Hot Fixes," tactical improvements, and long-term strategic architectural changes. This helps your engineering team manage their backlog effectively, ensuring that critical fire-fighting doesn't derail product development indefinitely.
Root Cause Analysis
We go deeper than the bug. We analyze *why* the vulnerability existed—was it a failure in the coding standard? A missing step in the QA process? A gap in developer training? We recommend process changes to prevent entire classes of bugs from recurring.
Risk Scoring & Metrics (CVSS)
We provide industry-standard risk scores using CVSS v3.1/4.0 vectors. This objective scoring allows you to integrate findings directly into your ticket tracking systems (Jira/ServiceNow) and track your security posture improvement over time.
Knowledge Transfer Workshops
The engagement doesn't end with a PDF. We host debrief workshops with your engineering team to walk through the findings, demonstrate the attacks live, and whiteboard the fixes together, turning the assessment into a learning opportunity.
