Core Services for Financial Services

Financial institutions face relentless pressure: regulatory demands, fraud, credential reuse, cloud misconfigurations, and vendor risk. Passing an audit may keep regulators satisfied, but it does not stop real adversaries. Attackers look for weak identity controls, exploitable cloud services, and pathways through vendors. They only need one way in.

Red Teaming – Simulate nation-state and criminal adversaries across social, physical, and electronic domains.
Purple Teaming – Collaborate with your defenders to turn attacker insights into measurable detection and response improvements.
IT Risk Assessments – Map your program against NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and other frameworks to identify maturity and compliance gaps.
Cloud Security – Validate IAM, APIs, microservices, and Infrastructure-as-Code to close misconfiguration and identity risks

Where There is Unity, There is Victory
