ASSESSMENT
The right first engagement if you've never had one. Full inventory and triage of what's exposed, with the noise stripped out and the real risks called by name.
OPERATIONS
Are they already in? Instead of hunting for the holes an attacker could use, I go looking for the traces one leaves behind. The engagement that answers "has this already happened to us."
A scoped, authorized attack on your network, apps, or wireless. I chain what I find the way a real intruder would, then show you exactly how far it went and where to cut it off.
ADVERSARY SIM
Goal-based, quiet, and modeled on a threat that actually targets businesses your size. Not "can it be broken" — "can anyone tell while it's happening."
Most small businesses should start with an assessment and grow into testing. Fill out the intake and I'll tell you straight which one you need — including if the answer is "none of these yet."
START THE INTAKE →
A call, a signed authorization, and a written rules-of-engagement. Nothing starts before that.
Hands on keyboard. Critical findings get called the day I find them, not at the end.
Findings with evidence, business impact in plain language, and a ranked fix list.
Walkthrough with your team and questions answered. Retests are scoped separately when you want one.
Engagements are run by 5-HEX-7 — founder of Hex Tactical Industries, sixteen years in United States Air Force IT and cyber operations. You deal with the operator directly, start to finish.
In uniform I ran cyber vulnerability assessments, hunt operations, and cyber threat emulation — the Air Force's term for adversary simulation. The four engagements above are those same mission sets, scoped for a business instead of a wing.
