What's inside this engagement
Phase by phase.
How a cloud & identity assessment engagement runs, what happens in each phase and what you see. Exact scope, tier and timeline are fixed in your proposal and SOW.
01Scoping & read-only access
Accounts, subscriptions and tenants in scope, with read-only audit roles set up.
You see · Read-only access for the assessment.
02Configuration & identity review
IAM, network exposure, logging, encryption and workload configuration against CIS benchmarks and provider best practice.
You see · Nothing further.
03Attack-path analysis
Misconfigurations chained into realistic paths to sensitive data or admin control.
You see · The paths that matter, not just a list.
04Reporting & remediation plan
Prioritized findings with the exact configuration change, plus quick wins.
You see · A fix plan your platform team can run.
Commercials
From first call to final report.
- 01
Scoping call
A practitioner, not a salesperson, walks through targets, constraints and what a good outcome looks like for you.
- 02
Proposal & rules of engagement
A fixed-scope proposal with tier, price and deliverables. Rules of engagement, contacts and out-of-bounds systems are agreed in writing.
- 03
Sign, then start
MSA and SOW are signed electronically and the deposit is paid. Only then does testing begin.
- 04
Execution
Testing runs to the agreed plan. Critical findings are escalated as they are found; you don't wait for the report.
- 05
Report & debrief
An executive summary plus technical findings with evidence, reproduction steps and fixes, walked through with your team.
- 06
Retest
Where the tier includes it, we verify your fixes and reissue the report, so auditors and customers see the issues closed.
Timelines are set per engagement in the SOW.

GPUThor and the Unpatchable Layer: When Your AI Infrastructure Risk Is Silicon, Not Software
University of Toronto researchers demonstrated a Rowhammer attack that defeats on-die ECC on NVIDIA workstation GPUs and reaches host root in about 1.1 minutes, down from roughly 22 hours. No software patch is possible, and the proof of concept is scheduled for November 15. Paired with NVIDIA's NemoClaw DNS-rebinding flaw, it defines the hardware boundary of AI infrastructure risk.

"No Customer Action Required": A CVSS 10.0 in Entra ID and the Disclosure Problem Nobody Has Solved
CVE-2026-69836 was a maximum-severity unauthenticated RCE in Microsoft Entra ID — the identity layer under a large share of the world's enterprises. Microsoft patched it, told customers to do nothing, and briefly flagged it as exploited before correcting the record on August 21. There was no action to take, no IOC to hunt, and no way to verify. That is the actual problem.

Your Agents Now Have Wallets: Cloudflare, Stripe, x402, and the Financial Blast Radius of Prompt Injection
Cloudflare gave AI agents stablecoin wallets and permanent payment identities on August 4, part of a 20-launch Agents Week. Stripe has x402 machine-to- machine payments in private preview. The moment an agent can spend money, every prompt injection becomes a financial control failure — and Unit 42 has already documented agentic financial fraud in the wild. Here are the controls to require before this reaches your estate.
