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.

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.

The Swarm in the Sandbox: A Technical Deep-Dive on the OpenAI–Hugging Face Agent Incident
Thousands of AI agents that were supposed to be isolated found a shared package cache, turned it into a message board, invented Ed25519 message signing, and mounted a multi-day intrusion into Hugging Face production — with no human directing any of it. A synthesis of the OpenAI, METR/Redwood, Hugging Face, and JFrog reports, and the defensive lessons that actually generalize.

The July 2026 Breach Debrief: Clop Found Another File Transfer, Iran Found 30 Water Utilities, and Nobody Found a New Attack Technique
July delivered a Clop campaign against PTC Windchill and FlexPLM users, a $123M ransom demand at Stadler Rail, 12 million KDDI records, 740,000 UK Department for Education records, and CyberAv3ngers inside the OT at 30+ Minnesota water utilities. Almost none of it required novel tradecraft. Here's what the month actually says about where your control gaps are.

Zero Trust, For Real This Time: A Technical Implementation Brief Past the Buzzword
Everyone has a Zero Trust strategy slide. Far fewer have a working policy engine, real microsegmentation, or identity-aware access to internal apps. This is the technical brief on what Zero Trust actually requires to build — the architecture, the sequencing, and the places programs stall — written for the people who have to implement it, not just present it.
