Built on Real Network Battles
We've spent years defending networks against threats that most people never see. Our approach came from fighting actual intrusions, not theoretical scenarios.
When Theory Meets Reality
Back in 2019, we worked with a manufacturing company that had "enterprise-grade" protection. Or so they thought. A basic port scan revealed seventeen open vulnerabilities that their expensive system completely missed.
That's when we realized most security solutions check boxes instead of actually protecting networks. So we started building tools that focus on what matters — stopping real threats before they become disasters.
Our scanners don't just look for textbook vulnerabilities. They simulate how actual attackers probe your infrastructure, looking for the gaps that traditional tools ignore.
Layer-Deep Firewall Analysis
Most businesses configure their firewalls once and forget about them. We've seen firewalls with rules from 2017 that no one remembers creating. Our approach involves continuous evaluation of firewall policies, identifying redundant rules, exposed services, and misconfigurations that accumulate over time. We test both inbound and outbound traffic patterns, checking if your firewall actually blocks what it should and allows what your business needs.
Pattern Recognition That Actually Works
Attack patterns change constantly. We maintain a database of intrusion techniques based on real incidents we've investigated. When we scan your network, we're not just checking known vulnerabilities — we're looking for behavioral patterns that indicate someone's already inside or actively probing your defenses. This includes unusual port sequences, suspicious timing patterns, and traffic anomalies that standard monitoring misses completely.
Hardening Without Breaking Things
Security recommendations are worthless if they disrupt your operations. We've learned this the hard way after early projects where we locked things down so tight that legitimate business processes failed. Now we map your actual network usage first, understanding which services need to communicate and why. Our hardening recommendations prioritize vulnerabilities based on your specific risk profile and include implementation plans that minimize disruption to daily operations.
Desmond Thatcher
Network Security Architect
Desmond spent eight years responding to network breaches before joining us in early 2020. He's the person who taught us that the best security isn't about having the most rules — it's about having the right ones. His specialty is finding the blind spots that attackers exploit, usually the services that "no one uses anymore" but are still running somewhere on your network.
Ramona Kelleher
Threat Analysis Specialist
Ramona joined our team in mid-2021 after working in incident response for a regional ISP. She's developed our pattern recognition systems based on thousands of actual intrusion attempts she's investigated. When she analyzes your network traffic, she's looking for the subtle indicators that someone's testing your defenses — the kind of reconnaissance activity that happens weeks before an actual breach attempt.
