Why should I use NetSPI?

Your attack surface is constantly evolving. We help organizations defend against real-world attacks by being the best at simulating real-world, sophisticated adversaries with the products, services, and training we provide. Our historical testing data shows that there is simply no replacement for human-led manual deep dive testing. This level of testing finds the most severe vulnerabilities that tools will never uncover. Our proven methodology ensures that the client experience and our findings aren’t only as good as the latest tester assigned to your project. That consistency gives our customers assurance that if vulnerabilities exist, we will find them. In addition, our Resolve platform delivers automation to ensure our people spend time looking for the vulnerabilities that tools miss. We provide automated and manual testing of all aspects of an organization’s entire attack surface, including external and internal network, application, cloud, and physical security. We know how attackers think and operate, allowing us to help our customers better defend against the threats they face daily.
