Overview

IOActive’s penetration testing team sets itself apart from the competition by bringing a unique attacker’s perspective to every client engagement in order to maximize security investments and improve client’s overall security posture and business resiliency.

While many organizations focus on defense by ‘default,’ IOActive’s approach is to encourage secure-by-design practices and policies by introducing the world of attackers to today’s businesses – through an attacker’s mindset.

Understanding our adversaries is crucial. Therefore, our penetration teams surpass standard penetration testing to offer our clients a range of red and blue team solutions that go beyond the norm.

We help organizations develop a clear understanding of today’s cyberattackers and the threat landscape as a whole by providing full custom adversary emulation and simulating real-world attacks in an ethical and respectful manner. Our penetration testers go beyond what compliance requires to ensure organizations develop strong, secure frameworks that protect their most valuable assets and resources.

IOActive’s penetration test team achieves this by providing detailed insight into how cybercriminals could penetrate an organization’s defenses, covering a diverse range of sectors and circumstances.

Our team adopts the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) of modern threat actors to infiltrate digital assets, networks and human resources to assess and analyze existing vulnerabilities. Our focus is not on singular vulnerabilities – but rather real-world, multi-vector, chained attacks that cybercriminals could exploit.

We are experts in physical and cyber penetration testing, social engineering, digital and human vulnerability assessment and defense consultancy. For example, we introduced Continuous Penetration Testing (CPT) services to support customers during CI/CD deployment.

In every scenario, our team of penetration testing experts create attack paths across technical, physical and human resources, while assessing how in-house defenders respond to cyberattacks. All of this contributes to an organization’s ability to build truly resilient networks.
