Adversary Simulation and Penetration Testing

Analysts identify weaknesses by emulating real-world adversaries and malicious insiders to test your resilience against sophisticated attacks. Using a 20/80 approach—20% automated tools and 80% manual, custom-crafted exploits—we uncover vulnerabilities that automated assessments often miss. Each engagement simulates advanced tactics like privilege escalation, lateral movement, and data exfiltration to expose real risks and demonstrate business impact. Findings include detailed risk analysis and actionable remediation steps to help strengthen defenses and reduce exposure.
