DevOps and Security for a Connected World
In an increasingly connected world, it's essential to have a strong security and DevOps strategy in place. We help businesses of all sizes stay ahead of the curve and protect their digital assets.
Security Assessments
We work closely with product teams and security engineers to understand their unique security needs and develop a tailored testing strategy that will help them identify and address vulnerabilities. Our assessments include testing for software bugs, configuration issues, and other security risks. We also provide detailed reports and recommendations for remediation, so that our clients can take the necessary steps to improve their security posture. With our help, organizations can have confidence that their software and hardware are secure, and that they are protected against potential threats.
Whitebox Testing
What? Whitebox testing is a method of testing software where the tester has access to the internal structure and design of the code being tested. This type of testing is also known as "clear box testing" or "glass box testing."
How? Whitebox testing involves testing the code at the unit level, as well as the integration of the units. This includes testing individual functions, methods and classes, as well as the interactions between them. Testers use a variety of tools such as code coverage analysis, static code analysis, and dynamic analysis to test the code.
When? Whitebox testing is usually done during the development phase of the software, before it is released to the end-users. It is an ongoing process that is done throughout the development cycle to ensure that the code is free of bugs and that it meets the requirements and specifications. It is also done after the release to ensure that the software is stable and reliable.
Blackbox Testing
What? Blackbox testing is a method of testing software where the tester only has access to the input and output of the system, without any knowledge of its internal structure or design. This type of testing is also known as "behavioral testing" or "functional testing."
How? Blackbox testing involves testing the software from the perspective of the end-user, by providing input and verifying the output. This includes testing the software's user interface, functionality, compatibility, and performance. Testers use a variety of tools such as test cases, test scripts, and test scenarios to test the software.
When? Blackbox testing is usually done during the testing phase of the software development life cycle (SDLC), after the software has been developed and before it is released to the end-users. It is an ongoing process that is done throughout the development cycle to ensure that the software meets the requirements and specifications, and that it is user-friendly and easy to use. It is also done after the release to ensure that the software is stable and reliable, and to identify any issues that may have been missed during development.

Adversarial Simulation
Our team of experts collaborate with network engineers and security operations teams to conduct thorough evaluations of potential remote compromise threats and simulate assumed breaches from various entry points within the network.
Perimeter
What? A scenario-driven testing approach to simulate remote attackers aiming to breach perimeter defenses via remote infrastructure weaknesses or via targeted attacks against user end-point systems.
How? We learn the current threat model, agree on scenarios to simulate with time-limits and terms, then play each out, documenting observations, findings, and countermeasures. Scenarios can include: Network Perimeter Attacks: Perform OSINT and map internet attack surface then attempt to gain access to sensitive system data or establish a network foothold. Phishing Simulations: Measure specific security controls and awareness training for users and high-value targets (spear-phishing campaigns) that could result in compromised credentials and malware.
When? Periodically (e.g. quarterly, bi-annually) to incrementally measure and improve defences; Ad-hoc to verify major infrastructure changes; Annually to get the most out of penetration testing obligations.
Assumed Breach
What? A scenario-driven testing approach to simulate attackers who have already breached the perimeter defenses and are attempting to move laterally through the network and gain access to sensitive data or systems.
How? We work with network engineers and security operations teams to understand the current threat model and agree on specific scenarios to simulate, such as attempts to elevate privileges, exfiltrate data, or establish persistence on compromised systems. We then play out the scenario, documenting observations, findings, and countermeasures.
When? Ad-hoc, to verify major infrastructure changes or to test incident response plans; Annually, to measure and improve defenses; or as needed, to simulate specific threat actors or attack scenarios.
The way to avoid costly breaches is to put security first. We provide solutions to best protect your business.
