The desk scopes the problem, states what it is, and says what fixes it: an engagement we run ourselves, Cerebro, Crimson Academy, or a product.
Architecture & exposure review
Where the estate is exposed, ranked by how an operator would use it rather than by scanner severity.
Detection & visibility strategy
What you can see, what you can't, and the cheapest order to close the gaps. Often the answer is a product. Sometimes it's a config change.
Incident readiness
Playbooks, evidence handling, and the decisions you'll have to make at 3 a.m., rehearsed before you have to make them.
Executive & board advisory
Straight answers on risk, spend, and vendors from people who have sat on the other side of the wire.
Partners
When the gap is the hypervisor and control-plane layer, we refer clients to TensorOne, an independent company whose product covers it: agentless detection and response across VMware (Broadcom), Proxmox, Nutanix, OpenShift, KVM and cloud control planes, run at the same time under one console.
Leadership
PenCrimson is run by its two founders. Both spent their careers on the offensive side of the work.
U.S. Army veteran with over a decade of technical and leadership experience at the National Security Agency and multiple Fortune 100 companies. Threat hunting, cyber threat intelligence, penetration testing, and vulnerability research.
Decorated U.S. Marine Corps veteran with two decades of experience designing security protocols for U.S. government agency facilities at home and abroad. Defense-in-depth strategy and strategic engagement.
