The status quo of "breaking things" is broken. Inconsistent methodologies, tool-led approaches, and poorly scoped tests are coming up short in true risk mitigation. Most discouraging is that some of the largest organizations continue to subscribe to these approaches as part of their OffSec initiatives. If you are looking to achieve deeper results, supported by well-founded threat modeling, you've found your security partner in VerSprite.
A key goal of testing exploits–whether on embedded systems, web applications, networks, or even against humans–is determining how easy and impactful successful exploits are against target networks, systems, and applications. White hats in today's industry can often become more enamored with the hunt versus improving technique and truly understanding impact or attack viability as part of a broader threat context.
VerSprite's Adversarial Security Services (OffSec) focus on emulating cybercrime and simulating test scenarios that reflect current attack patterns and threat motives. Our OffSec group also focuses on integrated security testing to help organizations integrate OffSec initiatives sooner within a given SDLC process.
We approach security from a holistic risk management perspective by viewing cybersecurity from both a business and attacker perspectives. Our methodology goes beyond assessing security controls. We examine credible threats to understand the likelihood of a real-world abuse case and measure the magnitude of business impact if an attack should occur.
PASTA (Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis) is our renowned risk-centric threat modeling framework. It provides a structured, repeatable process for comprehensive security analysis that drives prioritization and contextualization.
