Offensive Security Assessments
Offensive Security Assessments & Penetration Testing
Point-in-time audits and green dashboards don’t equal real security. Offensive Security Assessments put your defenses to the test—safely simulating how attackers phish, exploit, pivot, and exfiltrate. Netsync designs objective-based engagements that mirror your environment and business priorities, from internet edge to SaaS and cloud workloads. We combine vulnerability discovery with hands-on exploitation, lateral movement, and impact validation, then deliver clear, prioritized fixes with retesting to verify closure. As a Cisco-aligned provider, we translate findings into pragmatic controls and playbooks your teams can run—strengthening prevention, detection, and response without disrupting the business.
Why Offensive Security Assessments Matter
Modern threats chain small weaknesses into major incidents. Realistic testing validates controls under pressure, reveals attack paths tools miss, and shows exactly where to invest for the biggest risk reduction.
Validate Real-World Risk:
Compliance confirms configuration—not resilience. By emulating actual tactics against your people, apps, identities, and networks, we show how far an attacker can get and what truly stops them.
Prioritize Fixes That Matter:
Findings are ranked by business impact with specific remediation steps and owners. You get a focused plan—quick wins now, deeper hardening next—to reduce risk fast and prove progress.
Strengthen Detection & Response:
Exercises feed your SOC with high-fidelity signals and playbooks. We tune alerts, close blind spots, and rehearse containment so the next real event is shorter and less costly.

What Makes Netsync Different
Objective-Based, Safe Methodology
We scope to business outcomes—data access, privilege escalation, lateral movement—and operate with strict rules of engagement, evidence handling, and change control that keep production safe and auditable.
Full-Stack Focus—Identity to Cloud
Attackers target people, tokens, and misconfigurations. Our cross-domain engineers test identities, endpoints, network paths, applications, and IaaS/SaaS controls—then map fixes across teams so gaps actually close.
Actionable Reporting & Retesting
You get prioritized findings, proof of impact, step-by-step remediation, and retesting to validate closure—plus executive summaries leaders and auditors can use immediately.
Cisco-Aligned Operations
We align results with your Cisco security stack and processes—so detections, segmentation, and access policies improve in the tools you already run, backed by Netsync’s 24×7 support.
