Penetration Testing

Full, Manual Exploitation Mirroring a Real-World Attack

Penetration testing, or pen testing, isn't just about finding vulnerabilities – it's about understanding how a real attacker would exploit them. Our experts go beyond automated scans, simulating real-world attacks to reveal your actual security risks and provide actionable solutions.

Penetration Testing

We don't just identify vulnerabilities, we actively exploit them. Our team mimics real-world attacker tactics, gaining access, escalating privileges, and moving laterally within your systems to expose hidden weaknesses.

Continuous Testing

Threats evolve constantly. Our custom monitoring system tracks changes in your environment and alerts our experts to new vulnerabilities, ensuring continuous protection against emerging threats.

Insider Threats

Simulate attacks from within your organization, identifying risks posed by malicious or compromised employees and providing strategies to strengthen your defenses.

OSINT Services

Gather and analyze publicly available information about your organization, just like an attacker would, to uncover potential risks and vulnerabilities.

Hardware Testing

Assess the security of your physical devices, identifying weaknesses in hardware and embedded systems that attackers could exploit.

RF Spectrum

Go beyond standard wireless testing, analyzing the entire radio frequency spectrum to uncover vulnerabilities in communication systems and protocols.

Vulnerability Research

Uncover previously unknown security flaws in various technologies, providing you with cutting-edge protection against zero-day attacks.

Supply Chain Testing

Evaluate the security of your third-party vendors and partners, identifying vulnerabilities in your supply chain that could be exploited to gain access to your systems.

Cloud Environment Testing

We specialize in securing cloud environments, replicating advanced persistent threat (APT) tactics to expose weaknesses in your cloud configuration and architecture.
