Case File No. 014 — Status: Active
We find the way in before somebody worse does.
Cyber Tradecraft runs offensive security engagements the way real adversaries operate — because that's the only rehearsal that counts before an actual breach does.
OPERATOR
Adversary Simulation
A live-fire engagement against your network, your people, and your assumptions — scoped, safe, and fully reported.
What's in the file
Six disciplines, one operating principle: think like whoever wants in, then close the door before they arrive.
Offensive Testing
Penetration testing, red team operations, and adversary simulation across networks, applications, and cloud.
Threat Intelligence
Tracking the actors most likely to target you, before their tooling ever shows up in your logs.
Incident Response
Rapid containment, forensics, and recovery when something has already gone wrong — day or night.
Security Architecture
Designing systems that assume compromise and fail safely anyway, not ones that just look secure on paper.
Cloud & Application Security
Reviewing the code, pipelines, and infrastructure your business actually runs production on.
Compliance & Assurance
Turning SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST from a checklist into evidence your board can trust.
How an engagement runs
Every case follows the same five phases — in the same order an actual intrusion would.
-
01
Reconnaissance
Map what's actually exposed
Passive and active recon against your real attack surface — not the network diagram in the wiki.
-
02
Access
Attempt a real way in
Phishing, exploitation, misconfiguration, physical access, social engineering — whatever a genuine adversary would try first.
-
03
Escalation
Move like an operator would
Privilege escalation, lateral movement, and persistence, tracked step by step so nothing gets rediscovered twice.
-
04
Reporting
A brief, not a data dump
Findings ranked by real-world risk, written once for engineers and once for the people who sign the budget.
-
05
Debrief
Fix it, then prove it's fixed
A working session on what to remediate first, followed by validation testing once the fixes ship.
Track record
Numbers we keep in the file, updated after every engagement closes.

Most engagements start with a 30-minute scoping call. No obligation, no sales script — just the questions we'd need answered before a real adversary asks them for you.
