Silent Break Security

Silent Break Security completed a threat simulation project for a financial services firm. The firm's manager of the security operations center sought Silent Break Security's expertise in conducting both internal and external penetration tests. The engagement started with black-box tests to assess the firm's existing security measures and response to intrusions. After detecting Silent Break Security's attacks multiple times, the firm requested a shift to a gray-box approach, granting the team access to their environment. This allowed the firm to understand the potential consequences of a successful break-in. Silent Break Security's feedback helped the firm identify and address their security weaknesses. The firm invested $50,000–$100,000 in this project, which spanned from November 2017 until January 2018, with a second test in February 2019.

Silent Break Security conducted a cybersecurity audit for an insurance company with 1,000 employees. The Vice President of Information Technology hired Silent Break Security for their annual third-party assessment of vulnerabilities in externally exposed services. The project involved a statement of work (SOW), a kickoff call to discuss project specifics, and a secure portal for information exchange. The Silent Break Security team, consisting of a project manager and a technician, kept the client informed throughout the project, addressing any issues promptly. The technician provided a detailed report after the project, which was discussed in a follow-up call.

For a healthcare provider catering to Union Pacific Railroad employees, Silent Break Security performed a cybersecurity audit. The system engineer sought Silent Break Security's services to identify security concerns and areas for improvement. The project involved an external penetration test, scanning all outward-facing websites to check if Silent Break Security could gain access to their applications. The team was also given access to internal applications to identify potential vulnerabilities. The results of these scans were reported back to the client. The project, which cost around $40,000, started in October 2019 and concluded in January 2020.
