In the fast-paced digital landscape, businesses often find themselves grappling with a daunting reality: they don’t truly know if their networks are secure. This uncertainty breeds frustration and anxiety, as leaders constantly question their security posture and risk exposure. It’s an injustice that plagues many companies—they deserve to operate confidently, without the fear of hidden vulnerabilities lurking in their systems.

Recognizing this critical issue, Jon Gorenflo, founder of ATTACKD, took it upon himself to arm businesses with the knowledge needed to navigate the cybersecurity minefield. The journey began back in 2015 when Jon, a security architect at a Fortune 500 compnay, realized that fundamental controls were often missing from many organizations, leading to dire security consequences. He moonlighted as a cybersecurity consultant and a passionate educator at the SANS Institute, granting him firsthand experience into the pervasive issues businesses confronted.

As he conducted penetration tests, Jon discovered that the biggest risks weren’t always the ones that seemed obvious. Instead, they were often mundain, boring risks people often overlook, or they hid in plain site in the integrations and interactions of various technologies. This revelation ignited a deep commitment within him to help organizations identify their vulnerabilities proactively. In 2017, ATTACKD was formally launched, translating his experience and insights into a comprehensive cybersecurity solution that empowers businesses through expert penetration testing and consulting.

Since then, ATTACKD has become a leader in the cybersecurity space, consulting with businesses that range from the smallest startups to the Fortune 10. Jon’s experiences teaching cybersecurity around the world as a Principal Instructor with SANS and co-authoring SEC560: Enterprise Penetration Testing have shaped ATTACKD’s services to ensure each engagement is an opportunity for everyone to learn and grow. With a team composed of top-tier cybersecurity professionals, ATTACKD offers a unique approach—one that emphasizes true technical expertise rather than just deploying tools for profit.

Organizations that engage with ATTACKD find their perspectives on cybersecurity transformed. Once anxious about the unknown, clients now approach their security controls with a renewed sense of value and purpose.
