CAPABILITIES
THAT MATTER.
Four practice areas. All built around one question: what would actually stop a sophisticated adversary who has chosen to target you?
Threat Intelligence
You cannot defend against threats you don't know exist. CIPHER's threat intelligence practice provides continuous monitoring of the dark web, closed forums, ransomware infrastructure, and threat actor communications relevant to your organization and industry.
We don't produce reports. We produce intelligence — contextualized, prioritized, and delivered in formats your security team can act on without a translation layer. When a threat actor begins discussing your organization or sector, you hear about it before they move.
Penetration Testing
A penetration test that only tests what you expect to be tested is a performance, not an assessment. CIPHER's red team operations replicate the actual methods of sophisticated adversaries — without announcement, without limitation, without the checklist.
Our engagements run from external network assessments to full red team operations spanning weeks, targeting people, processes, and technology simultaneously. We find what your security controls miss because we approach from the same angle your adversaries will.
Security Advisory
Security strategy fails when it is designed by people who have never faced a real adversary. CIPHER's advisory practice provides strategic counsel to CISOs, boards, and executive teams navigating complex threat environments.
We help organizations understand their actual risk — not their compliance posture. We translate technical threat intelligence into business decisions. We advise on security architecture, vendor selection, and program maturity in ways that are grounded in what adversaries actually do, not what frameworks suggest they might.
Incident Response
When a breach is active, the decisions made in the first four hours determine how severe the next four weeks will be. CIPHER's incident response team is available at any hour, and deploys within hours of engagement.
We contain, investigate, and remediate. We identify how access was obtained, what was accessed, and what the attacker intended — not just what alerts fired. We produce post-incident reporting that improves your defenses, not paperwork that justifies our invoice.
