Unlike Advanced Persistent Threat Testing, point-in-time vulnerability assessments provide a narrow view of IT security and do not accurately reflect the habits and attack methods of real-life hackers. To stay one step ahead of malicious actors, enterprises must evolve their approach to identifying and mitigating critical vulnerabilities — or face significant monetary, data, and reputation losses.
Securance delivers clients the big picture of IT security via continuous, or persistent, threat assessment. With sophisticated simulated attacks, we uncover our clients’ weakest points, determine the extent to which bad actors can exploit these points, and reveal how long an attack can linger in an environment without being detected. In short, we build our clients’ offense, not just their defense.
Additionally, Securance adopts the advanced strategies of today’s hackers with innovative tools used to simulate quiet, long-term network attacks. We will infiltrate the network like a real hacker and attempt to gain significantly higher levels of privilege, at the same time masking our presence from the existing intrusion prevention | detection system.
Advanced Persistent Threat Testing is most suited to organizations with mature or complex IT environments requiring more rigorous assessment to ensure optimal security. Part vulnerability and penetration test, also part social engineering, APT simulation testing helps enterprises strengthen their security posture and develop a robust, proactive security strategy.

Your organization already has security measures in place for your IT systems, but are you sure they are protecting your systems? The majority of security breaches take months — or even years — to discover. Even with security measures in place, your systems can harbor hidden vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit.
In the U.S. alone, the current shortage of information security professionals has reached 500,000. This means two things for businesses that need a qualified CISO: 1) Finding an experienced candidate will be very difficult. 2) Hiring a full-time executive will be costly, because their services are in high demand.
Every year is a “record year” for new and advanced cybersecurity threats. As private and public organizations scramble to hire security professionals and set aside the budgets to improve their defenses, cyber criminals continue to exploit even the minutest of technical vulnerabilities with ease.
