// 01 — Credentials
// 02 — Core Capabilities
Full-scope adversarial simulations that mirror nation-state and APT threat actors. We stress-test your defences before the real adversary does — using the same tools, tactics, and procedures.
Proactive threat hunting, detection engineering, and infrastructure hardening. We identify the gaps attackers exploit before they become breaches — and build defences that hold.
Court-admissible artefact analysis, post-breach recovery, and detailed root-cause reporting. We preserve evidence, reconstruct the attack timeline, and deliver findings that stand up in court.
// 03 — Field Outcomes
// Client identities and operational details are classified. The outcomes speak for themselves.
A major Scandinavian bank engaged NixSec for a 6-week full-scope red team operation emulating APT28-style TTPs. Our operators gained undetected persistence in the core banking environment for 14 days, achieved lateral movement to SWIFT infrastructure, and demonstrated ATM jackpotting vectors — all without triggering a single SOC alert.
A legacy SIEM generating 40,000 daily alerts with a 99.7% false-positive rate left real threats buried in noise. NixSec rebuilt the Elastic Stack architecture, engineered 80+ detection rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, and deployed AI-augmented triage. Mean-time-to-detect dropped from 11 days to under 4 hours within 30 days.
A regional insurance group suffered a ransomware attack affecting 3,000 endpoints at 02:00 on a Monday. NixSec's DFIR team was on-site within 6 hours, contained the incident, and restored operational continuity within 72 hours while maintaining full chain-of-custody integrity. The forensic report directly supported a criminal prosecution.
// 04 — Differentiators
Every engagement is run by senior practitioners with real field experience — not junior analysts working from a checklist. No outsourcing, no boilerplate findings, no automated scanner reports dressed up as pentests.
Our operators have presented original research at DEFCON, Black Hat, BSides, and Sec-T. We publish, compete in CTFs, and stay at the cutting edge of adversarial tradecraft — so your assessment reflects the real current threat.
Every engagement operates under explicit legal frameworks with iron-clad NDAs. Our forensic outputs are court-admissible. Operator identities and all client data are classified and never disclosed.
// 05 — How We Work
A confidential 30-minute call with a senior operator. We discuss your environment, risk concerns, and objectives — no sales pitch, no juniors, no canned responses. This call is obligation-free.
We define the rules of engagement, agree legal frameworks, and execute mutual NDAs. No engagement begins without explicit written authorisation and clearly defined scope. Chain of custody starts here.
Your dedicated operator team executes the engagement. Senior practitioners only — the operator who scoped your assessment is the one delivering it. You receive weekly status updates throughout.
Detailed technical findings with business context, a risk-ranked remediation roadmap, and an executive summary your board can act on — followed by a live debrief with the delivery team. Engagements typically begin within 5 business days of scope agreement.
// 06 — Engage
Speak directly with a senior operator. Initial threat assessment is confidential and obligation-free. Engagements typically begin within 5 business days of scope agreement.
