Overview

Every day, the potential for cyberattacks grows exponentially. Vulnerabilities – whether outdated software, inadequate security procedures, or misconfigured networks – create entry points for malicious actors looking to exploit weaknesses. Failing to address these gaps puts systems and sensitive data at risk.

CounterTrace is a comprehensive cyber vulnerability assessment service for security architecture analysis, threat identification, and mitigation. This unique cybersecurity solution consists of hands-on assessments and curated vulnerability intelligence. Paired with modeling and scaled system testing, CounterTrace is deployable against traditional infrastructure, embedded systems, operational technology, telecom infrastructure, and air-gapped networks. We model no-fail systems to enable continuous testing without downtime. Nightwing engineers have honed the capability on mission-critical technologies, including domestic and adversarial weapon systems, so we’re prepared for the mission.

How we are different

For the last 25 years, the US Government has relied on Nightwing’s offensive cyber techniques in reverse engineering, computer network operations, and vulnerability research to discover more than 1000 exploitable vulnerabilities across desktop, embedded, and mobile platforms.


Nightwing knows the tools, tactics, and procedures of the most aggressive cyber threats from both foreign and domestic threat actors.


CounterTrace provides detailed reporting with cyber readiness scores, potential areas of exploitation, known security risks, and remediation road maps, while maintaining strict customer confidentiality.
