What We Test Defensive AI Engagements Pricing Main Site Contact
Application Security Testing & Hardening

Know your exposure
before the adversary does.

AI-augmented penetration testing for web applications and APIs. Broader attack surface coverage, faster time-to-findings, and transparent pricing — without the overhead of a large consulting firm.

Engagements are conducted as a two-person team — combining infrastructure engineering perspective with OSCP-certified offensive security expertise.

Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

Scope of Testing

Systematic assessment across the application attack surface.

01

Web Applications & API Endpoints

We assess the application layer — injection points, input handling, session management, business logic, and data exposure. Both authenticated and unauthenticated surfaces, approached the way a real attacker would.

Business LogicAPI Security
02

Authentication & Authorization Flows

Broken access control is the most consistently exploited vulnerability class. We test login flows, token handling, JWT implementation, OAuth and SSO integrations, multi-tenant isolation, and role and permission boundaries.

Auth BypassJWTOAuthSSORBAC
03

Cloud Configuration & Secrets

Misconfigurations in S3, IAM policies, environment variables, and infrastructure-as-code are among the most commonly exploited entry points — and among the most preventable. We review your posture before an adversary does.

04

Third-Party Integrations & API Contracts

External integrations are often the least-tested part of an application. We assess authentication controls at every integration boundary, test for excessive data exposure, evaluate rate limiting, and identify server-side request forgery vectors in any URL-handling or webhook functionality.

Why AI-Augmented

More thorough coverage. Lower cost.

01

Parallel Attack Coverage

A skilled pentester works one attack chain at a time. AI-augmented testing explores multiple vectors in parallel — input fuzzing, access-control probing, injection testing — across a broad attack surface at once. That means more ground covered in the same billable hours.

02

Collective Field Knowledge

Not one person's experience — the work draws on the distilled knowledge of the global security research community: CVE classes, known bypass patterns, and obscure protocol edge cases, brought to bear on your specific environment. The result is depth that isn't limited by any single tester's familiarity.

03

Controlled & Auditable

Every action the AI takes is written to an audit trail. Intrusive or destructive steps require human approval before they run — testing stays strictly within agreed scope. Every finding is structured, validated, and false-positive-checked, with CVSS scoring, CWE mapping, and remediation guidance. You get findings worth acting on, with a clear record of what was done.

Defensive AI

Put agentic AI to work inside your SOC.

For teams that want to use agentic AI defensively — automated alert triage and enrichment, multi-agent investigation workflows, IOC analysis and reputation lookups, and SOC copilots that work inside the tools your team already lives in.

Built with the same discipline as the offensive work: structured and validated outputs, human approval before action, full audit trails, and reasoning grounded in your own runbooks and documentation. Integrates with existing EDR, cloud, and identity platforms.

Ongoing Security Operations

Security as a retainer, not a one-time engagement.

For teams without a dedicated security function — or those looking to extend one. Vulnerability management, cloud configuration monitoring, periodic retesting, and incident response readiness, structured as a monthly retainer. What this looks like depends on your environment.
