Offensive security at a different level

One continuous loop, from reconnaissance to verified fix

Every engagement runs the same five stages. The first three show you what an adversary can see and reach. The last two close it and keep it closed.

1. 1

   Map everything you expose

   We build a complete picture of your external and internal attack surface: domains, cloud accounts, APIs, code repositories and the servers no one remembers. Every weakness is then ranked by whether an adversary can actually reach and use it, so your team fixes the few that matter instead of triaging thousands that don’t.

   Asset	Type	Owner	Exposure
   api.acme.io	API	Platform	Public
   staging-api.acme.io	API	Unknown	Public
   jenkins-legacy.acme.io	CI server	Unknown	Public
   vpn.acme.io	VPN	IT	Public
   acme-exports	Storage bucket	Unknown	Public read
   db-replica-3	Database	Platform	Internal

   842 assets found. The 17 that weren’t in your inventory are highlighted; three are shown here.

   1,436 raw scanner findings

   96 are reachable by an attacker

   12 are exploitable, proven by an agent

   Drawn to scale. Ranked by what an adversary can do with it, not by scanner severity.
2. 2

   Attack it the way a skilled adversary would

   Autonomous agents reason about how your environment fits together and choose their next move the way an experienced operator does, chaining small weaknesses into complete paths to your data rather than firing every payload at every endpoint. They stay inside your approved scope, keep load low, and stop at proof: they demonstrate access without exfiltrating anything.

   One path an agent proved

   1. ReachThe image proxy fetches any address it’s given, including the cloud metadata service at 169.254.169.254.
   2. ObtainThe response contains temporary credentials for the role billing-worker.
   3. PivotThose credentials can list the bucket acme-billing-exports.
   4. Prove14,203 customer invoices are readable. The agent stops there and exfiltrates nothing.

   What the agents attack

   • Web applications and APIs
   • Cloud accounts and Kubernetes
   • Internal networks and Active Directory
   • Mobile apps
   • CI/CD pipelines
   • LLM apps and AI agents
3. 3

   Verify what’s real

   An offensive-security engineer reproduces every critical and high finding before it reaches you. Each arrives with the request that proves it, the business impact in plain language, and the steps to reproduce it yourself. No false positives, no unverified severity.

   CriticalVerified by an engineer

   Customers can read each other’s invoices

   Broken object-level authorization on /api/v2/invoices/{id}

   Evidence Impact Reproduce

   Evidence

   Signed in as a user of tenant B, the agent asked for an invoice that belongs to tenant A. The server returned it.

   Request
   GET /api/v2/invoices/48213 HTTP/1.1
   Authorization: Bearer <token for a tenant B user>
   
   Response
   HTTP/1.1 200 OK
   {
     "invoice_id": 48213,
     "tenant": "tenant-A",
     "total": 12400.00,
     "bill_to": "[redacted]"
   }

4. 4

   Remediate, don’t just report

   Fixes arrive in the form your team already works in: pull requests, infrastructure-as-code changes, and WAF rules that hold the line until the patch ships. For structural gaps, our engineers carry out the hardening alongside your team.

   Pull request #1287Scope invoice lookups to the caller’s tenant

   api/invoices.py-    invoice = db.invoices.get(invoice_id)+    invoice = db.invoices.get(invoice_id, tenant_id=ctx.tenant_id)+    if invoice is None:+        raise NotFound()

   • Regression test added
   • WAF rule live while the fix ships
   • Re-test passed. The attack path is closed.

   Hardening our engineers implement with your team

   Before	After
   Long-lived cloud keys stored in CI	Short-lived tokens issued for each build
   One shared admin login	Individual SSO accounts with step-up MFA
   Secrets committed to repositories	Secrets in a vault, rotated automatically
   Storage buckets open to the public	Private buckets with expiring signed links

5. 5

   Stay verified

   Your attack surface changes with every deployment. TexaTenet re-tests what changed, confirms that each fix closed its path, and keeps your audit evidence current between assessments.

   Activity this week

   • Tue 09:12Deploy v4.18.2 detected. Re-testing the 31 endpoints that changed.
   • Tue 09:41New public storage bucket found. Its owner was notified.
   • Wed 14:03Fix for the invoice issue merged. Re-test passed and the path is closed.

   Evidence maps to the controls auditors ask about

   Framework	Control	What you can show
   SOC 2	CC7.1	Ongoing detection of new vulnerabilities
   ISO 27001	A.8.8	Management of technical vulnerabilities
   PCI DSS 4.0	11.4	Internal and external penetration testing
   NIST CSF 2.0	ID.RA	Vulnerabilities identified, validated and recorded

What sets TexaTenet apart

Most testing addresses the problem with brute force: more scans, more payloads, more noise. TexaTenet’s approach is built on knowledge and reasoning about your environment, the way a skilled adversary actually works.

Autonomous doesn’t mean unsupervised

Letting AI attack your systems only works if the limits are absolute. These are ours.

Compared with the alternatives

An annual test is a snapshot. Brute-force automation is noise. Neither tells you what an adversary actually wants.
