Basalt
Adversary operations and security research.
We find what others miss.
Basalt is a security research and offensive operations firm. We work with organizations that take their security posture seriously — testing defenses through controlled, realistic adversary operations and deep technical research.
Services
Red Team Operations
Full-scope adversary simulation against your organization. We replicate the tactics, techniques, and procedures of real threat actors to test your detection and response capabilities end to end.
Penetration Testing
Targeted assessment of applications, networks, and infrastructure. We identify exploitable vulnerabilities before they become incidents, with clear evidence and remediation guidance.
Vulnerability Research
Deep technical analysis of software, hardware, and protocols. We find what scanners miss — logic flaws, novel attack surfaces, zero-day conditions in your critical systems.
Security Architecture Review
Systematic evaluation of your security posture at the design level. We assess network segmentation, access controls, cryptographic implementations, and threat modeling coverage.
Adversary Simulation
Objective-based operations modeled on specific threat intelligence. We simulate nation-state, criminal, and insider threat scenarios tailored to your industry and risk profile.
Incident Response Support
Technical support during and after security incidents. Forensic analysis, containment strategy, root cause identification, and hardening recommendations to prevent recurrence.
Approach
Every engagement begins with scoping. We work with your team to define objectives, rules of engagement, and success criteria before any technical work begins. The goal is precision — testing what matters, not generating noise.
Our operators conduct reconnaissance, identify attack surfaces, and execute against your environment using the same methods and tooling employed by real adversaries. We do not rely on automated scanners alone. Manual analysis, custom tooling, and creative problem-solving drive every assessment.
Findings are documented with full technical detail — reproduction steps, evidence, impact analysis, and prioritized remediation guidance. We deliver reports that your engineering team can act on immediately, not executive summaries that sit in a drawer.
After remediation, we verify fixes and retest to confirm vulnerabilities are resolved. Security is not a point-in-time exercise — we build ongoing relationships with the organizations we work with.
