VAPT and Specialized Assessments

Cypherd offers a range of Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing services tailored to your security goals. Whether you need comprehensive black-box testing to simulate a determined external attacker across your full attack surface, white-box testing to mimic an insider threat, or specialized assessments such as Active Directory Security (Health, Risk, and Maturity Assessment), Firewall and Network Review (NIST 800-41, Zero Trust, and Best Practices), and Cloud Security Posture Assessment, we have the perfect plan for you.

Your AD or MS Entra ID may be a ticking timebomb

In hybrid environments, Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID remain prime targets for ransomware. Attackers exploit initial access for lateral movement, privilege escalation, and rapid domain dominance.

Microsoft data shows adversaries compromise domain controllers in over 78% of human-operated ransomware attacks, using them in 35%+ to spread ransomware at scale. Sophos reports 73% of incidents involve AD manipulation, with Mandiant estimating 90% of intrusions reach AD. Hybrid pivots enable backdoors, credential dumping, and Golden Ticket attacks for swift encryption.

Don't let misconfigurations detonate your defenses. Let CYPHERD assess your Active Directory and Entra ID today. Our Micrsoft certified expert team identifies vulnerabilities, hardens configurations, and blocks ransomware paths with proven expertise.

Continuous Vulnerability Management: The New Standard CISOs Can’t Ignore

In an era where threat actors can identify vulnerabilities in minutes and develop new exploits in hours rather than days or weeks, no organization that relies on IT for its operations is exempt from this reality. Unless a business intends to revert to manual processes, the inevitability of real-world cyber exploitation remains inescapable.

Most organizations, particularly those in highly regulated sectors such as banking and healthcare, engage third-party providers to conduct annual vulnerability assessments and penetration testing (VAPT). While VAPT performed by competent third-party experts can evaluate an organization's defenses at a specific point in time, the ongoing changes within the organization, coupled with the rapid pace of vulnerability discovery and exploit development, may render the annual VAPT report insufficient for board-level oversight. In mere weeks or even days, new developments can transform a previously low-risk IT system into a high-risk one, often without the CISO's awareness.

While annual VAPT remains a foundational element of compliance and risk insight, the accelerating threat environment invites us to explore how integrating continuous monitoring can elevate it from periodic assessments to a more adaptive, holistic defense strategy. Managing your Cyber Risk Exposure serves as your organization's nervous system, sensing, prioritizing, and mitigating risks.

For Cypherd clients, the choice is no longer between two testing regimes; it is between a yearly postcard from the past and a live feed of the present. In cyber risk, the present is the only tense that matters.

CREM - The all year round risk-based vulnerability management service you need

Traditional vulnerability management drowns IT teams in thousands of high-severity CVSS alerts from tools or consultants, leading to overwhelm and overlooked risks. 

Cypherd's Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM) service revolutionizes this by starting with your business, its operations, profitability, and key assets. We assess each asset's criticality (e.g., sensitive data's breach impact), exposure (internet-facing or firewall-protected?), and exploitability (targeted threats via cyber threat intelligence).

Using our team's experience in managing business and technology risks, vulnerability assessment, and penetration testing for decades, we prioritize real risks and deliver expert-level remediation advice that both IT teams and senior executives will understand.

CYPHERD will help you manage your cyber risks stemming from:

- Active Directory
- Network Infrastructure
- User Endpoints
- Servers and Systems
- Web Apps and APIs
- and cloud (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS)

This is beyond compliance, but it's a boost to your security posture all year round.
