The most useful test is the one that behaves like the adversary you will actually face. Our offensive team draws on live incident experience to find the paths that matter, prove impact responsibly and leave you with fixes that hold.
Aureon's ethical hacking services are authorised, scoped and conducted under written rules of engagement. We prioritise realism and business impact over long lists of low-value findings, and we work with your engineering teams until the issues that matter are closed.
Because our testers sit alongside incident responders, our testing reflects current tradecraft: identity abuse, token theft, edge-device exploitation, cloud misconfiguration, supply-chain weaknesses and the ransomware playbooks we see in real cases.
Every exercise maps the path from a realistic initial access to the objectives that matter to your business, and records at each step whether your controls and your SOC saw it. The result is a prioritised list of the detections and hardening that would have stopped the chain.
Infrastructure testing from the internet and from an assumed-breach position, including Active Directory and Entra ID attack paths, segmentation and privilege escalation.
Manual testing aligned with OWASP standards, covering authentication, authorisation, business logic, data exposure and integrations with third parties.
Configuration and attack-path review of AWS, Azure, GCP and Microsoft 365 tenants, including identity, storage exposure, CI/CD pipelines and secrets management.
Objective-based operations that emulate specific threat actors against people, processes and technology, measuring detection and response rather than just vulnerabilities.
Collaborative sessions with your SOC or MDR provider that validate detection coverage against MITRE ATT&CK techniques and tune it in real time.
TIBER-EU and DORA-aligned TLPT engagements for financial entities, with threat intelligence, scenario design and controlled execution against production.
Safe assessment of industrial environments, from architecture and segmentation review to passive discovery and controlled testing in maintenance windows.
Phishing, voice and in-person engagements that test awareness and the controls around it, designed with legal and HR safeguards.
Security review of application code, infrastructure as code and AI-enabled systems, including prompt injection, data leakage and model access controls.
Prioritisation of findings using exploitation intelligence, remediation verification and retesting until closure.
Objectives, boundaries, legal authorisation, emergency contacts and data handling agreed in writing before any activity begins.
Attack surface mapping and threat intelligence shape scenarios that reflect your real adversaries rather than generic checklists.
Controlled exploitation with evidence of impact, safe handling of credentials and data, and immediate notification of critical findings.
Findings ranked by exploitability and business impact, remediation workshops with your engineers and verification testing until the paths are closed.
Clear, usable outputs for executives, technical teams, insurers and regulators.
Testing is scoped and executed to avoid disruption. Destructive techniques are excluded unless explicitly agreed, OT environments are handled with passive methods first, and we maintain emergency contacts throughout.
Scanners list known issues. Our testers chain weaknesses the way adversaries do, confirm real impact and separate what is exploitable from what is theoretical, so your teams fix what matters first.
Only with their written authorisation. We help clients design supplier assurance programmes and run testing where contracts and consent allow.
Yes. We issue attestation letters describing scope, methodology and the status of findings, which clients share with customers, auditors and insurers.
An unauthenticated command injection in the SNMP notification path of Zimbra Collaboration was probed before public disclosure and exploited at scale afterwards. Microsoft's reconstruction shows web shells, a route to root through PAM, credential dumps and a cloud exfiltration attempt. The fix is 10.1.20. The work starts after the patch.

A CVSS 9.8 authentication bypass in the SD-WAN control plane is being exploited in the wild. If the manager is reachable from the internet, treat it as a breach investigation, not a patch ticket.

Two critical remote code execution flaws in NetScaler ADC and Gateway were exploited a week before disclosure. Patching closes the door; it does not evict anyone who already walked through it.
