Infrastructure

Internal Network Testing

Find high-impact attack paths, weak segmentation, and credential risks inside the perimeter.

  • AD attack paths & lateral movement
  • Segmentation validation
  • Misconfiguration and exposure
Infrastructure

External Network Testing

Assess perimeter exposure and validate controls protecting internet-facing assets.

  • Attack surface mapping
  • Service exposure & configuration risk

4

Remediation Support

Fix guidance, Q&A, and optional validation to confirm improvements are real.

Deliverables

Outputs teams can execute on — quickly.

You get documentation that leadership can understand and engineers can use immediately. Findings are prioritized for real risk reduction.

Executive summary with risk, impact, and priorities.
Technical findings with evidence and clear reproduction notes.
Severity & prioritization to guide remediation sequencing.
Practical remediation guidance (configs, controls, fixes).
Optional validation to confirm fixes close the risk.
Mentoring

Career mentoring for cybersecurity — grounded in reality.

For students, IT professionals, and cybersecurity practitioners who want a clear path forward.
