Scenario: Attacker has an initial foothold (Assumed Breach model)
Our internal penetration testing simulates a real-world “assumed breach” scenario, where an attacker already has access to your environment.
This reflects the reality of modern threats: phishing, credential reuse, exposed services, or compromised endpoints frequently bypass perimeter defenses.
e.g. an internal user has its VPN credentials compromised
We begin with a low-privileged position inside the network and work to escalate access, move laterally, and identify pathways to critical systems. The objective is to understand how far an attacker could go, how quickly, and what data or systems would be at risk.
This assessment focuses on:
- Privilege escalation across hosts and domains
- Active Directory misconfigurations and abuse paths
- Credential harvesting and reuse
- Lateral movement between systems
- Access to sensitive data and critical infrastructure
- Weak segmentation and trust relationships
The outcome is a clear view of your internal attack surface, with actionable findings that prioritize real risk.
This service is particularly relevant for organizations that:
- Rely heavily on Active Directory environments
- Have remote or hybrid workforces
- Handle sensitive or regulated data
- Want to validate detection and response capabilities
The result is a practical understanding of how resilient your internal environment is under attack and what needs to be fixed first.
