90%
of breaches were preventable

Research by the Online Trust Alliance found that 90% of data breaches in 2014 alone could have been avoided. Physical security, application, and network assessments are the primary preventive measures — exactly what we provide.

What we offer

We Have Your Back

Flexible, highly customized security services built for higher education and enterprise environments.

Controlled Penetration Testing

Identified vulnerabilities undergo a controlled penetration test — verified and exploited to determine the full extent of weaknesses, attack vectors, and potential pivot points.

Physical Security Assessments

Physical security controls and workflows at high-risk environments — admission offices, data centers, payroll offices — are thoroughly assessed and hardened.

CyberPosse

Managed intrusion detection services that give your institution continuous, expert-led visibility into threats across your network perimeter and internal systems.

Application Security Assessments

Mobile, web, and supplicant applications — whether developed in-house, purchased, or under consideration — are rigorously assessed for security vulnerabilities.

Dorkbot

Dorkbot serves 2,250 campuses across 205 countries on all 7 continents. Automatically surface high-risk vulnerabilities in your web applications before attackers do.
