Shellhex Security
Shellhex Security is our red team. Our team has both training and real-world experience in hacking and securing systems, and we keep our cybersecurity experience up-to-date with constant practice. We offer offensive security services to identify where your systems are vulnerable. We provide penetration tests, adversary simulation, and vulnerability assessments. We also offer security analysis, audits, and reports, covering both pre-attack threat modeling and architecture review as well as post-attack analysis and review. Our services are virtual-first, but we can also offer in-person red-teaming as part of a larger cyber-threat simulation. We are confident we can identify your weak spots before they become problems.
Trust is at the center of what we offer. We will work in depth with you to determine what rules of engagement are appropriate for your business. Our post-penetration test reports emphasise deep dives into actionable revelations, and how we can plug any holes we've found in your security. We are particularly aware of the strict requirements numerous businesses face when it comes to handling data, and aim to help you provide your customers with a service they can trust with sensitive information.
Adversary Simulation and Red Teaming
We offer real-world penetration tests that simulate actual attacker behavior. We use the same strategies and techniques to breach your defenses that real threats would use, from software exploits to social engineering, as determined by our discussed rules of engagement. For identifying the actual critical weaknesses your business possesses, there is no substitute to having professionals like us attack them. We provide rich in-depth reports as part of our penetration testing and will ensure you can understand whatever strategies we used to breach your systems, and can work with you to mitigate whatever security issues we find.
Vulnerability Assessments
We can offer comprehensive analysis of your systems and their weaknesses and attack vectors, providing detailed reports with actionable recommendations. We go far beyond automated vulnerability scans to offer hands-on investigation to provide additional analysis to supplement what standard tools can provide. We provide reports that provide explanations of these vulnerabilities that don't require cybersecurity expertise to understand. We further provide actionable strategies for addressing vulnerabilities we identify, so that you don't lose time mitigating them. We can provide this as a recurring service as suits your needs to ensure your systems are always up to date.
Security and Attack Analysis
We provide deep technical analysis of any actual security incidents your company may have faced - to understand how they happened, fix the security flaws that enabled them, and most importantly, clean your systems of any malware, and ensure you have full control over your systems and data. We both aim to directly rescue you from the consequences of a cyberattack as best we can, and also turn attacks into learning opportunities to prevent them from happening again. We will also analyse any malware we find to explain to you what it was and what it was doing. Additionally, we can provide network traffic analysis of both live and logged traffic. We can also review and analyse your systems' log files to provide a comprehensive picture of what took place. Wherever possible, we will turn any insights from such analysis into actionable mitigation strategies for your business.
Threat Modeling
No security solution is complete without a clear understanding of what threats it seeks to combat. A core component of all of our services is threat modeling: working with you to build a picture of what the core threats your business faces are and what their objectives are likely to be. We can use this information to inform how we approach your system during a penetration test, as well as what aspects of system security to prioritise deep dives into when assessing its weaknesses. As part of threat modeling, we will work together with you to identify what the highest-value digital assets you possess are and how attackers might seek to exfiltrate or compromise them.
Security Mindset and Culture
While hacking often conjures images of arcane software vulnerabilities and advanced malware, the weakest link in many organisations' security is the people. Poor security practices can doom any organisations' security, no matter how secure its software stack, and even many technical software exploits rest on information gained through social engineering. Transferring security mindset and security culture to your team is one of the highest leverage actions you can take to improve your business' security. We offer training to educate and up-skill your staff in security practices and help transfer security mindset to them. We also can give talks, lectures, and workshops on security and related topics.
