Offensive Security

Most quotes land between a few thousand and low six figures. The number that matters is what sits behind it: scope, seniority, and whether anyone actually tries to break in.

A penetration test is a person trying to break into your systems on purpose, under rules you set. Here is what the different types cover, how an engagement runs, and what lands on your desk at the end.

The brief is the same everywhere. The work is not. Here is how to tell a real offensive team from a scan with an invoice, and the questions to put in your RFP.

Three things get sold as testing, and they are not the same. Here is what each one finds, what it misses, and how to combine them instead of choosing one.

VAPT bundles two complementary jobs: a broad sweep for known weaknesses and a deep test that proves which ones actually matter. Here is how each works and why they belong together.

You cannot defend what you do not know you own. EASM continuously finds your internet-facing assets, including the ones no one remembers, before an attacker does.

In industrial environments downtime is not just an IT problem, it has physical consequences. Here is how OT security differs from classic IT security, and how you build it without disrupting production.

ICS and SCADA systems control physical processes, so an attack on them has real-world consequences. Here is what makes their security different and how to approach it.

IEC 62443 is the leading international framework for securing industrial and OT systems. Here is how it is structured, what security levels mean, and who it is for.

Red teaming goes a step beyond a pentest. It simulates a real attacker across technology, people, and physical access, to test not just systems but the defense around them.

Ransomware encrypts your data and demands a ransom, and increasingly steals it before encryption. Here is what an attack looks like, how to prevent it, and how to respond so the disruption is as short as possible.

Most serious breaches start with a message, not a vulnerability. Phishing and social engineering target people, not systems. Here is what the attacks look like, how to recognize them, and how to protect your company.

Viruses, trojans, ransomware, and spyware are different kinds of malware with the same goal: to compromise your systems. Here is how they differ, how they get in, and how to defend against them.

A DDoS attack floods a system with traffic until it goes down. Here is how it works, the main types, and how a company defends itself and prepares to respond.

Identity theft lets an attacker pose as you or one of your employees. Here is how it happens, what the consequences are, and how to reduce the risk for yourself and your company.
