Just doing network pentesting once per year to check a box isn’t enough these days. Cyber threats move and evolve lightning-fast today. A reactive approach leaves a lot of holes in a company’s defense that bad actors could slip through. Waiting too long between pen tests means a company might not catch easily fixed issues until after hackers have already taken advantage, which can lead to an expensive cybersecurity nightmare. Just doing the bare minimum to meet compliance standards isn’t enough to stand up to the new, sophisticated cyberattacks that cybercriminals are launching at a record pace. The advent of widely available AI hasn’t just revolutionized cybersecurity. It has also revolutionized cybercrime. Companies need to be ready for the deluge of novel cyber threats that are headed their way. Pentesting helps IT professionals find the cracks that bad actors could slip through before there’s trouble.
What kind of assessment do you need? The STC team can work with your organization to discuss project scope and help determine whether you’re looking for an application security test, penetration test, or Red Team exercise.
Helios provides robust security monitoring and protection for IT assets through its Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) capabilities, complemented by Secure Access Service Edge (SASE).
These tests unveil vulnerabilities that could exist in your networks, as well as associated devices like routers, switches, and network hosts. For internal networks, testers target networks and assets that only employees within an organization can use, like an intranet or any network using a private IP address. For external networks, testers will focus exploiting weaknesses in the front facing perimeter or attempt to bypass them altogether with strategies like a phishing campaign or other social engineering methods.

These tests assess the security of different web applications used by an organization. Adhering to the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard, testers target web pages and URLs, searching for and exploiting dangerous web vulnerabilities, including injection flaws, broken authentications, sensitive data exposure, cross site scripting, misconfigurations, and more.
These tests help determine the security risk posed by employees within an organization by deploying phishing simulations. With emails tailored to your organization, these tests will find susceptible employees and evaluate the detection capabilities of defenses like spam filters. Learn More >
Our consultants can work with cloud providers and third-party vendors to assess cloud-based systems and applications. These tests will validate the security of your cloud infrastructure, including its integration with your environment. Learn More >
These tests can analyze the components and interactions of IoT devices connected to your network, such as cameras, dataloggers and remote sensing systems. These tests may differ depending on the device, and can include threat modeling, hardware and firmware analysis, or source code review. Learn More >
Red Team exercises fully simulate a cyber-attack scenario to help measure how effectively an organization can detect, defend, and withstand cyber threats by malicious actors. Our Red Teamers use all the industry leading tools and methods real hackers use to evade detection while discovering exploitable areas of the network, applications, credentials, and devices.
The scope of these tests is determined during an initial discussion and can include any level of communication with the internal security team. Our red team can emulate internal attackers, external attackers, and can also tailor exercises for different objectives, including accessing sensitive information or gaining root control.
Helios monitors system and application configuration settings to ensure they are compliant with your security policies, standards, and/or hardening guides. The Helios agents perform periodic scans to detect misconfigurations or security gaps in endpoints that can be exploited by threat actors. Additionally, you can customize these configuration checks, thereby tailoring them to properly align with your organization’s needs. Security alerts include recommendations for better configuration, references, and mapping with regulatory compliance.

“Every year we cut vendors in order to build new relationships and bring in fresh blood. When it comes to security projects, your team consistently delivers projects on time and on budget to keep us safe. Core Security always makes our top vendor list.”– Web Application Developer
Bringing in external consultants to test the security of your systems provides an objective, novel, and expert view of your security posture. SCS is a safe and secure opinion that can provide a fresh perspective, tailoring each engagement to your needs to expose security weaknesses that may have been overlooked due to the on-site security team’s familiarity with the environment.
Whether you have internal pen testing, or have never put your organization to the test, SCS can provide new ways to improve your security, including increasing user awareness, finding new vulnerabilities, circumventing access controls, and finding paths to compromise high-value assets that were not explored before. We can also offer assistance to internal pen testers, engaging in teaming exercises or providing third party verification of audits.
