Raxis Strike


Strike: Penetration Testing

Raxis Strike delivers augmented penetration testing by combining comprehensive manual assessments with advanced automation to uncover hidden vulnerabilities in your website. Our expert team simulates real world attack scenarios, providing in depth insights and actionable recommendations that strengthen your security posture and help you achieve compliance with industry regulations.

Our Proven Penetration Testing Methodology

For over 14 years, Raxis has been a trusted name in cybersecurity, delivering exceptional augmented penetration testing through our Raxis Strike service. As a leading provider, we partner with organizations of all sizes and industries, blending expert-driven manual testing with advanced automation for stronger results. Guided by the industry standard MITRE ATT&CK framework, our US based team uses an augmented approach to identify and address vulnerabilities with precision, providing comprehensive assessments that truly strengthen your security.

The following process applies to Red Teaming, Traditional Penetration Testing, and our PTaaS options:

Scoping

Every organization faces unique security challenges, so we begin by working closely with you to define the scope of the penetration test. This includes identifying the systems, applications, or networks to be tested and setting clear objectives for the engagement. Whether you need an external network test, internal system evaluation, or application-specific assessment, we tailor our testing scenarios to align with your specific needs and industry requirements.

Intelligence Gathering

Raxis meticulously gathers and analyzes publicly available data about your organization and its employees to identify potential security risks. From public websites and social media profiles to domain registries and dark web sources, we uncover critical information that cybercriminals could exploit. Our expert team evaluates this data to detect vulnerabilities, such as exposed credentials or sensitive details, enabling you to mitigate risks before they’re weaponized. 

Vulnerability Identification

Once the scope is defined, our expert penetration testers begin identifying vulnerabilities within your systems. Using a combination of manual techniques and advanced tools, we analyze your environment for weaknesses such as misconfigurations, outdated software, insecure protocols, or exploitable code. Unlike automated scans that often miss complex issues, our manual testing ensures a thorough assessment of even the most intricate systems.

Strategic Threat Modeling

Raxis elevates security through a dedicated threat modeling phase, meticulously designed to fortify your defenses. We begin by identifying and cataloging your critical assets, from infrastructure to data repositories. Next, we map potential threats, leveraging intelligence gathered from public sources, dark web data, and industry insights. Our experts then craft detailed attack plans, simulating real-world adversary tactics to expose vulnerabilities. This deliberate, proactive approach empowers your organization with actionable strategies to prioritize risks and strengthen resilience against sophisticated cyber threats.

Adversarial Simulation

To provide a realistic evaluation of your security defenses, we simulate real-world cyberattacks on your systems. Our team employs the same tools and techniques used by malicious hackers to test your organization’s ability to detect and respond to threats. These simulations include testing for common attack vectors such as phishing attempts, privilege escalation, lateral movement, and data exfiltration.

Exploitation

Within the parameters defined during scoping, we take testing a step further by safely exploiting identified vulnerabilities. This controlled exploitation demonstrates how attackers could leverage weaknesses to gain unauthorized access or exfiltrate sensitive data. By showcasing the potential impact of these vulnerabilities through detailed proof-of-concept scenarios, we help you understand their severity and prioritize remediation efforts effectively.

Impactful Post-Exploitation Analysis

Raxis demonstrates the real-world consequences of a breach through meticulous post-exploitation testing. We assess the value of compromised systems based on the sensitivity of stored data and their potential to enable further network attacks. Using manual techniques that mirror current threats, we simulate pivoting, privilege escalation, and data compromise to highlight critical risks. Where applicable, we safely exfiltrate and redact data to underscore true exposure, providing clear, actionable insights to strengthen your defenses against sophisticated adversaries.

Reporting

At the conclusion of testing, you receive a comprehensive report detailing all findings from the engagement. This report includes a prioritized list of vulnerabilities categorized by severity level (e.g., critical, high, medium), along with their associated risks and potential business impact. Each finding is accompanied by proof-of-concept exploits and clear remediation recommendations tailored to your technical team’s needs. Additionally, we provide a detailed storyboard that illustrates how an attacker could exploit multiple vulnerabilities in sequence.

Actionable Advisory and Remediation Planning

Raxis goes beyond reporting vulnerabilities—we partner with you to build a stronger security posture. In our comprehensive debrief session, our experts guide you through penetration test findings, clarifying results and answering your questions in detail. We provide tailored, actionable recommendations to address vulnerabilities effectively and prioritize remediation efforts. By collaborating on a strategic remediation plan, we empower your team to mitigate risks efficiently, ensuring your organization is equipped to maintain robust defenses against evolving cyber threats.

Thorough Retest Validation

Raxis ensures your remediation efforts are effective with our comprehensive retesting services. We meticulously re-evaluate previously identified vulnerabilities to confirm they have been fully resolved and are no longer exploitable. Our rigorous process also verifies that no new risks have emerged during remediation, providing you with confidence in your strengthened security posture. With Raxis’ retesting, you gain assurance that your organization is protected against evolving threats, backed by thorough validation and expert analysis.

Augmented Pentesting

Raxis uses augmented penetration testing powered by human engineers and cutting edge AI to enhance every phase of our service, from attack simulation to reporting. Our approach streamlines testing workflows and provides clear, actionable insights to boost your security. We keep your data safe with strict privacy controls and never use it for AI training, so you can have complete confidence and trust in our process.

Realistic Attack Simulations

Unlike traditional vulnerability scans, Raxis Strike employs ethical hackers who simulate sophisticated cyberattacks using actual hacker-created exploits. These simulations provide invaluable insights into how attackers could compromise systems, escalate privileges, and exfiltrate sensitive data.

Tailored Testing for Unique Needs

Every organization has unique security challenges based on its infrastructure, industry, and compliance requirements. Raxis Strike customizes its penetration tests to align with the customer’s specific environment, ensuring maximum relevance and effectiveness. Whether testing external networks, APIs, mobile applications, or IoT devices, the service adapts to meet diverse technology landscapes.

Industry-Specific Expertise

Raxis brings industry-specific knowledge to every engagement, efficiently targeting vulnerabilities that are unique to the customer’s sector. This expertise ensures compliance with regulatory standards such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001 while addressing sector-specific risks.

Black Box, White Box, and Grey Box Penetration Testing

Raxis penetration testing services are designed to uncover vulnerabilities and strengthen your defenses against real-world cyber threats. As a trusted penetration testing company, we adapt our expert-led assessments to your unique needs using industry-standard methodologies: Black Box, White Box, and Grey Box testing. Each approach provides a distinct perspective, ensuring comprehensive coverage—whether we’re simulating an external hacker or diving deep into your systems with your team’s collaboration.
