Case File No. 014 — Status: Active

We find the way in — then close it before someone worse does.

Cyber Tradecraft runs offensive engagements and defensive operations side by side: the same rehearsal an adversary would run, and the same watch a defender keeps once the lights are on.

One file, two disciplines

Every finding from an offensive engagement feeds the defensive program that watches for it afterward — the same team, reading the same file.

What's in the file

Ten disciplines, one operating principle

Think like whoever wants in — then build, watch, and rehearse the defenses that keep them out.

01Offense

Offensive Testing

Penetration testing, red team operations, and adversary simulation across networks, applications, and cloud.

02Offense

Threat Intelligence

Tracking the actors most likely to target your sector, before their tooling ever shows up in your logs.

03Defense

Incident Response

Rapid containment, forensics, and recovery when something has already gone wrong — day or night.

04Defense

Security Architecture

Designing systems that assume compromise and fail safely anyway, not ones that just look secure on paper.

05Offense

Cloud & Application Security

Reviewing the code, pipelines, and infrastructure your business actually runs production on.

06Defense

Compliance & Assurance

Turning SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST from a checklist into evidence your board can trust.

07Defense

Managed Detection & Response

A standing SOC watching your endpoints, network, and cloud telemetry, with analysts who escalate instead of just alerting.

08Defense

Threat Hunting & Detection Engineering

Writing and tuning the detections that catch what signature-based tools miss, then hunting for what's already slipped past them.

09Defense

Vulnerability Management

Continuous scanning, prioritized patching, and attack-surface tracking so the same gap doesn't reopen next quarter.

10Defense

Security Awareness & Phishing Simulation

Training your people against the exact lures your threat intel team is watching real attackers use.

How an engagement runs

Two tracks, the same file

Offense rehearses the intrusion. Defense runs the response. Toggle between them below.

01

Reconnaissance

Passive and active recon against your real attack surface, not the diagram in the wiki.

02

Access

Phishing, exploitation, misconfiguration, or physical access — whatever a genuine adversary tries first.

03

Escalation

Privilege escalation and lateral movement, tracked step by step so nothing gets rediscovered twice.

04

Reporting

Findings ranked by real risk, written once for engineers and once for whoever signs the budget.

05

Debrief

A working session on what to fix first, then validation testing once the fixes ship.

01

Detect

SOC analysts and detection rules watching endpoint, network, and cloud telemetry around the clock.

02

Contain

Isolating affected hosts and accounts fast enough that the incident stays an incident, not a breach.

03

Eradicate

Removing the actor's footholds, tooling, and persistence — not just the alert that surfaced them.

04

Recover

Restoring systems from a known-clean state and confirming the business is actually back to normal.

05

Harden

Feeding what was learned back into detections, patching, and training so the same path doesn't work twice.

Tell us what you're worried about.

Most engagements start with a 30-minute scoping call — offense, defense, or both. No obligation, no sales script.

Whether you need a live-fire adversary simulation or a standing team watching your environment tonight, the intake questions are the same ones a real incident would ask first.
