Continuous Penetration Testing & Offensive Security
Find the path. Prove the fix.
From the Hoplite Intelligence Feed
Achievement over activity.
Hours tested and pages of findings are activity. What you need afterwards is three answers you can act on, kept in one record your engineers and leadership both read.
Know what an attacker could reach.
We start from a realistic foothold and follow weaknesses as far as the agreed rules allow. You see the confirmed route to the systems that matter, one hop at a time, with evidence for each step.
See it in the record: Operator confirmedKnow which change interrupts the route.
Most routes can be cut in more than one place. We lay out the options and what each would cost your team in effort and disruption. You choose the change, and your team makes it.
See it in the record: Customer changeKnow what the retest showed.
After the change, Hoplite runs the same route again under the agreed terms. The record shows what was possible, what changed, and where the route now stops.
See it in the record: Retested
The work record is the proof.
An illustrative example of one attack path, from first model to retest. Step through it to see how the record keeps possibilities apart from confirmed findings, and where the route stops after your team's change.

Modeled · Hoplite
A possible route from the portal to the finance file server, identified from what is known about the systems, identities, and permissions in scope. It guides where operators look. It is not a finding.
- Modeled: possible, not a finding
- Confirmed by an operator, with evidence
- Where your team broke the route
A retest shows whether this specific route still works. It is not a guarantee that no other route exists.
One way of working.
Every engagement follows the same thread. What changes is scope and cadence, and we decide those with you once we understand the outcome you need.
Confirm the path to what matters
Operators test from realistic starting points and chain weaknesses toward the systems you care about. Possible routes stay labeled as possibilities until an operator confirms them.
Choose where to break it
Each confirmed path comes with break-point options and their trade-offs in plain terms. Your team decides and makes the change, with Hoplite available to guide it.
Retest the result
Hoplite retests the route under the agreed terms and records what the retest found, so engineers and leadership read the same story.
Scope and cadence, decided with you.
Some questions are answered by a bounded assessment of a specific scope. Some environments change fast enough that the record needs to stay current, which is what Ethos is for. Exercises with your defenders test detection and response. We recommend the fit after the first conversation.
Tell us what you need to prove.
We will talk through your environment, what you have tested before, and the decision in front of you. Scope and cadence follow from that.
