Real attackers don't follow your scope diagram. They follow the path of least resistance — chained exploits, forgotten assets, weak assumptions, and the human layer your scanner can't see. Our offensive testing is built to replicate that, not to generate a scanner report with a logo on it.
Every Adversim offensive engagement is led by a senior practitioner — no junior staff running scanners and shipping the export. Below are the engagements clients ask for most. If your scenario isn't listed, we'll scope it.
We attack your internet-facing perimeter the way real adversaries do — starting with reconnaissance against your public attack surface (often larger than you think), enumerating exposed services, and chaining vulnerabilities into meaningful access.
Engagements include shadow IT discovery, credential exposure searches across breach corpuses and paste sites, email/VPN attack vectors, password spray and credential stuffing, and validation of any external service that touches your environment — including the forgotten subdomain spun up by marketing in 2019.
What can a malicious insider — or any attacker who landed one phishing click — actually accomplish inside your network? Internal engagements assume initial access and answer that question with precision.
Active Directory abuse paths (Kerberoasting, AS-REP, ACL chains, certificate services), lateral movement, privilege escalation, sensitive data discovery, and validation of detection & response gaps. Most clients are surprised by how quickly Domain Admin is reachable. We are not.
Authenticated, business-logic-aware testing against your most critical web applications. We go far beyond the OWASP Top 10 checklist — we map your application's actual privilege model, identify the assumptions developers made about how users behave, and methodically break them.
IDOR and broken access control, server-side request forgery, server-side template injection, race conditions, authentication and session flaws, API endpoints exposed by the front-end, JWT and SSO abuse, and multi-tenant isolation testing for SaaS platforms.
A penetration test asks "what's vulnerable?" A red team asks "can we achieve a specific business objective without your defenders catching us?" Objective-based, time-boxed, threat-actor-emulated operations designed to test your detection and response — not just your patch hygiene.
Engagements are scoped against MITRE ATT&CK TTPs relevant to your industry's actual threat actors (ransomware operators for healthcare; financially-motivated APTs for fintech; nation-state TTPs for defense contractors), with executive-defined "crown jewel" objectives.
Networks and web apps are table stakes. The vulnerabilities that actually breach organizations in 2026 hide in cloud configurations, mobile attack surfaces, AI integrations, and the gap between your security awareness training and your employees' inboxes.
iOS and Android testing covering static and dynamic analysis, local data storage, certificate pinning, IPC abuse, deep linking, and authentication flaws specific to mobile platforms.
REST, GraphQL, and gRPC testing against the OWASP API Security Top 10 — BOLA, broken authentication, excessive data exposure, mass assignment, and rate-limiting bypasses that scanners miss.
Identity and access misconfigurations, privilege escalation through IAM chains, public storage exposure, container and serverless attack paths, and lateral movement across accounts and subscriptions.
WPA2/WPA3 attack validation, evil-twin and rogue AP testing, captive portal abuse, guest-to-corporate network pivots, and Bluetooth / IoT device exposure on your perimeter.
Badge cloning, tailgating, lockpicking, and on-site reconnaissance combined with phishing, vishing, and pretexting campaigns. We test the human and physical layers together, the way real attackers do.
Prompt injection, indirect prompt injection through retrieved data, model jailbreaks, training data extraction, tool-use abuse in agentic systems, and the new attack surface introduced when your application integrates an LLM. See full AI services →
Collaborative engagements where our offensive operators work alongside your detection & response team — running real ATT&CK techniques to validate alerting, tune detections, and close visibility gaps in real time.
We start with the access an attacker would have after a successful phishing campaign — a single workstation, standard user — and demonstrate exactly how far that gets in your environment. Fast, high-signal, low-overhead.
LLMs and AI systems introduce a category of vulnerabilities that traditional security tools can't see and traditional testers haven't learned to find. Adversim has built a dedicated AI offensive practice aligned to the OWASP LLM Top 10 and MITRE ATLAS — purpose-built for organizations deploying AI into customer-facing, decision-critical, or regulated environments.
A comprehensive security evaluation of a target LLM or AI model, probing for jailbreaks, prompt leakage, training data extraction, model inversion, and unsafe output generation. We combine automated tooling with manual adversarial techniques to find what fuzzers and benchmarks miss.
Adversim operators simulate sophisticated adversaries targeting AI and ML systems using real-world attack chains — adversarial input crafting, model manipulation, inference attacks, data poisoning scenarios, and multi-step prompt campaigns designed to bypass safety controls and achieve unauthorized objectives.
Authenticated and unauthenticated attacker perspectives against AI-powered applications and APIs. Testing covers traditional vulnerabilities (injection, broken auth, insecure API design) and AI-specific attack vectors — prompt injection, context manipulation, and model abuse across the full stack.
A focused, time-boxed engagement dedicated to the #1 ranked LLM vulnerability. We develop payload libraries calibrated to your AI system's architecture, exercise direct and indirect injection vectors, and validate mitigations like input filtering, system prompt hardening, and output validation.
Third-party AI components introduce hidden risks that traditional security reviews miss. We assess pre-trained models for backdoors and poisoned weights, AI libraries for known CVEs and misconfigurations, datasets for integrity, pipelines for trust boundary violations, and AI-as-a-service integrations for upstream compromise.
Every AI offensive engagement ships with the following — calibrated to engagement type and depth.
Leadership-facing narrative covering AI security posture and key risk themes.
Each finding with attack description, evidence, severity rating, and affected component.
All findings mapped to OWASP LLM Top 10 and MITRE ATLAS for compliance context.
Step-by-step reconstruction with screenshots, payloads, and model responses as evidence.
Prioritized fix recommendations including input validation, prompt hardening, and output filtering.
One round of free retesting within 30 days of report delivery to validate applied fixes.
Walkthrough with technical and leadership teams to answer questions and align on next steps.
Critical / High / Medium / Low / Informational with business impact context for each finding.
Transparent scope and price written into the proposal — no T&M ambiguity.
Most offensive engagements are driven by one of a handful of business triggers. If you recognize yours below, you're in the right place — and you're not alone.
HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 Type II, NGCB 5.260, CMMC, or cyber insurance renewal — most regulated frameworks require annual penetration testing. We'll make sure yours actually finds things.
Acquirers increasingly require a recent third-party penetration test. We deliver fast-turn engagements with reports built for diligence — clean, defensible, and remediation-prioritized.
A new application, cloud migration, AI integration, or customer-facing platform. Pre-launch testing is dramatically cheaper than discovering the same flaws after they're in production.
Your board is asking pointed questions. You need a credible answer that's more than "we run scans monthly." A senior-led penetration test is the answer that lands.
You have EDR, SIEM, a SOC. But has anyone ever actually attacked you to see what alerts fire? Purple team and red team engagements answer that with measurable specificity.
Enterprise procurement is increasingly requiring vendor penetration testing as a contract condition. We provide reports designed to satisfy that requirement without exposing your internal sensitivities.
A 30-minute scoping call gives us what we need to send a fixed-fee proposal within 48 hours. No commitment, no consulting theater, no junior sales engineer translating questions.
Finding what's broken is half the work. Aligning to frameworks and building a security program that prevents the next round of findings is the other half. Explore our other two service pillars.
NIST CSF, NIST 800-171, CMMC, HIPAA, SOC 2, NGCB Reg 5.260, and CIS Controls. Honest gap analysis with a remediation roadmap ranked by impact and effort.
