Network Security & Infrastructure Audits
Your network defines your blast radius. From misconfigured firewalls to over-permissioned identities, we manually identify the exploitable paths that automated scans miss.

What Is a Network Security Audit?
A structured, offensive assessment of your infrastructure designed to identify and validate exploitable weaknesses across internal, external, and cloud environments.
Map the attack surface. Simulate adversarial movement. Document real-world risk.
This is not a compliance scan - this is controlled, authorized exploitation designed to reveal how an attacker would actually pivot through your network.
Why Network Security Fails
Most breaches don’t rely on sophisticated zero-day exploits - they succeed because of preventable misconfigurations that provide a clear path to your core assets.
Beyond Compliance Scanning
Stopping Lateral Movement
Cloud & Security Group Drift: Misconfigured rules that accidentally expose internal databases to the public web.
Overly Permissive Firewall Rules: "Any-to-Any" rules that turn a minor breach into a total network compromise.
Legacy Service Exposure: Unmanaged, "shadow" services that provide a backdoor into modern infrastructure.
Flat Network Architecture: Weak segmentation that allows attackers to move between guest and production environments.
Credential & Identity Sprawl: Stale accounts and over-privileged identities that facilitate lateral movement.
Domain Privilege Escalation: Excessive permissions that allow a low-level breach to become a "Domain Admin" event.
Visibility Gaps: Poor logging and monitoring that allow attackers to dwell in your network for months undetected.
Standard scanners tell you a door is unlocked; our audit simulates how an attacker uses that door to move through your entire house.
The Pair Hacking Advantage
Most network tests rely on a single auditor. At Cyrex, we deploy a minimum of two senior offensive engineers per engagement to simulate the coordinated behavior of a live threat actor group. Our secret? We have integrated AI-augmented workflows into every step of our offensive process. Our engineers don't just "do" security; they direct AI-driven reconnaissance, data correlation, and pattern analysis to ensure no stone is left unturned.
Attackers work in groups. We work with intelligence-augmented synergy.
Parallel Hypothesis Testing
One engineer directs AI-driven reconnaissance to map the perimeter, while the second pivots internally to test the limits of your segmentation.
Live Exploit Validation
Real-time validation of findings reduces false positives and confirms exploitability
Coordinated Privilege Escalation
Our team utilizes AI-supported pattern analysis to rapidly map internal trust relationships, allowing for faster validation of privilege escalation paths.
Faster Lateral Movement
Simulating multi-vector attacks across segmented environments simultaneously
Cross-Verification
While AI accelerates the data gathering, the final "Exploit/No Exploit" decision is always human-verified, ensuring the high-quality, zero-false-positive results you expect from Cyrex.
Chained Exploit Discovery
Consistently uncovers complex attack paths that isolated testing misses
Especially effective in hardening Active Directory, hybrid cloud ecosystems, and complex segmented networks.

When to Schedule a Network Security Audit
Infrastructure evolves. So should your security posture.
Who This Is For
If your network contains user data, financial data, intellectual property, multiplayer backend systems, or administrative infrastructure - you require structured network security testing
Test Your Network Like An Attacker Would
Your network is the foundation of your business.
Your network is the foundation of your digital ecosystem. Don't wait for a breach to discover a weakness - engage Cyrex for a structured, Pair-Hacked audit that identifies validated exploit paths and provides a clear roadmap for remediation.
