What you keep

  • Quarterly Cyber Response Index for your executive committee
  • Compliance certificate per campaign, for auditors and regulators
  • Ready-to-deploy detection rules for every miss
  • Exportable IOCs and attack timeline
  • Hacker View exposure: matrix, map, IPs and ports
  • KPIs pushed to your SIEM, XDR and SOAR

Our tools and our method

How we do

Four steps, run continuously

Set once, then run on a schedule against your live defenses.

  1. Expose

    Map the attack surface

    The Hacker View shows what an attacker sees and can exploit.

  2. Validate

    Run real attacks

    APT, ransomware, insider and AI scenarios on your live stack.

  3. Measure

    Score the response

    Grade, MTTD, MTTR and blind spots, event by event.

  4. Improve

    Close the gaps

    Rules, playbooks and patches, then run again.

From exposure to response, every gap and its fix

Each link tested, each gap fixed.

What simulated attacks show

The gaps we find most often.

65% vs 18%

EDR carries detection

Most detections come from EDR. Scans and lateral moves slip through.

Early stages

Blind at the start

Reconnaissance, discovery and exfiltration are the least detected.

8%

Response stays manual

Most remediations still wait for a human.

Target, not source

Containment misses the attacker

The target gets isolated, the attacker keeps going.
