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.
Do you need a cybersecurity consultant on a part-time or project basis?
Are you migrating your on-premises workloads to the cloud but lack the necessary security expertise in your team?
Are you planning to implement a new security program aligned with Zero Trust?
Do you want to build a Security Operations Center (SOC) but don’t know where to start?
Or are you launching a new IT project and want to ensure security is built in from day one?
Cypherd can help — on a flexible part-time or project basis.
Let's talk and start building your cybersecurity capability!
Why Choose Cypherd as your Cybersecurity Partner?
Proactive Vulnerability Assessment and Remediation
Our company can conduct a periodic or all-year-round assessment of your technology stack to identify vulnerabilities that either internal or external malicious threat actors could exploit. We don't simply use automated technologies. We expertly assess every asset, its criticality to the business, and how easy the asset can be exploited. We check regularly for misconfigurations, vulnerable software, and unpatched vulnerabilities of your infrastructure, whether on-prem or cloud. In short, we deep dive to fully understand your business and find all the cracks and loopholes before the attackers do. With our suite of credentials from CISSP, CEH, MSc, SC-100, OSCP, and Pentest+, our VM or VAPT report is a combination of in-depth testing with a CISSP-level strategic presentation.
"Secure By Design" In Mind
Cypherd can help you BUILD secure identities (AD and Entra), endpoints, data, apps, infrastructure, and network through a robust architecture based on the Zero Trust principle. We design your environment where identity is at its core, ensuring that access to every resource is verified continuously. We architect your network so that every resource is properly network-segmented to prevent lateral movement in case of breach, etc. By partnering with us, your technology pillars are hardened and can resist modern threats. We have a team of certified professionals, CISSP, Sec+, CCNP, MS Certified Cybersecurity Architect (SC100), and Certified in Cybersecurity.
Rapid Threat Detection and Containment Capability
With the advent of AI-powered cyber-attacks, relying solely on human SOC analysts is slow and could be detrimental to the business. While we don't promote the complete elimination of SOC analysts in detecting and responding to threats, we believe that humans should now govern AI, while we let AI lead the detection and response at levels 1 and 2. This approach is cheaper yet is now more effective than hiring a battalion of human SOC analysts.
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 and help your team FIX 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.
