Penetration Testing

Penetration testing (also called "pen testing") is a controlled cybersecurity exercise where ethical hackers simulate real-world attacks to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in your systems before malicious actors can. It's critical for businesses because it reveals actual security gaps that automated scanning alone might miss, helping prevent data breaches that cost Tampa businesses an average of $5,000 per hour in downtime. Explore our military-grade penetration testing approach to see how we can protect your business from emerging threats.

Military-grade penetration testing employs advanced methodologies developed for defense contractors. While standard testing often relies solely on automated tools, our military-grade approach combines elite human expertise with sophisticated automation to uncover complex vulnerabilities that typical security assessments miss, especially in web applications, cloud environments, and network infrastructure.

Our comprehensive penetration tests deliver complete findings in just 5 days, significantly faster than the industry standard of 2-3 weeks. Each report includes an executive summary with risk ratings, detailed vulnerability descriptions, exploitation proof, business impact analysis, and specific remediation steps prioritized by actual risk to your organization—all verified to eliminate false positives. Schedule your penetration test to experience our rapid, comprehensive approach.

Vulnerability scanning uses automated tools to identify known security weaknesses but cannot verify if they're actually exploitable in your environment. Penetration testing goes far beyond scanning by actively exploiting vulnerabilities to demonstrate their real impact, establishing attack chains, and identifying business risks that automated tools miss—especially critical for Tampa businesses facing increasingly sophisticated attacks. Get comprehensive penetration testing that goes beyond basic vulnerability scanning.

Modern attackers have expanded beyond traditional email phishing to exploit messaging platforms like Teams, Slack, and SMS. Our penetration testing includes assessment of behavioral AI attacks that analyze communication patterns to craft convincing messages across multiple channels. We simulate sophisticated social engineering scenarios where attackers use LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and other platforms to establish trust before exploiting access. Protect your entire communication landscape with our comprehensive testing approach.

Tune in for our webinar on the subject, The Blind Spots: Cybersecurity Beyond Email to uncover the shifting attack pattern and prevention measures.

We provide comprehensive penetration testing services including external network testing (identifying vulnerabilities visible from outside your network), internal network assessments (simulating insider threats), web application testing (finding flaws in custom applications), mobile application testing, cloud infrastructure testing (AWS, Azure, GCP), wireless network testing, and social engineering assessments to evaluate human vulnerabilities in your security posture.

Our military-grade penetration testing methodology is specifically designed to identify the sophisticated tactics used by Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). We simulate the multi-stage attack patterns these threat actors use, including establishing covert command channels, lateral movement techniques, and data exfiltration methods. By identifying these complex attack chains, we help you implement defenses that disrupt APT campaigns before they can achieve their objectives. Schedule a comprehensive APT simulation to test your defenses against these sophisticated threats.

Unlike conventional providers that rely primarily on automated tools, our military-grade methodology combines elite human expertise with advanced automation. We deliver findings in just 5 days (vs. industry standard 2-3 weeks), verify every vulnerability to eliminate false positives, and provide specific remediation guidance prioritized by business risk. As Tampa's #1 ranked MSSP, we bring the same protection trusted by defense contractors to businesses of all sizes. Experience the difference with our military-grade penetration testing services.
