What Secure Network Technologies does

Secure Network Technologies, Inc. is a privately held offensive security services firm founded in 1997 and headquartered at 247 West Fayette Street, Syracuse, New York. The company is structured as a boutique consultancy with 1-10 employees and operates under a full-service information security mandate, delivering human-led adversary simulation and penetration testing engagements rather than automated scanning outputs. Its core methodology is Risk-Based Penetration Testing, which prioritizes vulnerabilities by business impact rather than purely technical severity, and is supplemented by a layered portfolio of advanced engineering services: Red Team Security Assessments, Assumed Breach Penetration Tests, Purple Team Collaboration exercises, OSINT collection, Mitre ATT&CK-mapped testing, Social Engineering assessments, Web Application and Wireless Network testing, Physical Security Assessments, Employee Awareness Training, Incident Response, Forensic Services, and Data Security Compliance work (HIPAA, SOC, NCUA, FFIEC, CMMC). The firm holds enterprise-grade consultant certifications spanning OSCP, GPEN, OSWE, OSWA, CISSP, and CRTO and has completed more than 5,000 engagements against Fortune 500 companies, public sector entities, and industry-specific clients in financial services, healthcare, and material handling (MHEDA members).

The business model is professional services revenue, with every engagement individually scoped, quoted, and delivered as a project or multi-year program. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; all quotes are custom-built following a scoping call or consultation. Go-to-market is sales-led with an enterprise field sales motion targeting Fortune 500 and government buyers, an inside sales team for scoping calls and consultation scheduling, a community-led growth layer (Dark Reading, The Wall Street Journal, Tripwire Magazine, the Authentic8 podcast), and a Preferred Partner Program launched in October 2023 that allows MSPs and resellers to white-label the firm's services. Customer logos are not publicly enumerated beyond segment categorizations (Fortune 500, public sector, financial, healthcare, material handling), and no revenue, ARR, valuation, funding, M&A, or parent-company data is disclosed. The firm has received three consecutive Best Places to Work awards (2020, 2021, 2022) from the CNY Business Journal and reports no external venture capital or private equity investment in the available source material.

Products and services

• Risk-Based Penetration Testing Human-led adversary simulations that emulate real-world attackers to identify and exploit vulnerabilities before malicious actors do; combines seasoned penetration testers with cutting-edge tools to surface vulnerabilities that automated scanners miss.
• Red Team Security Assessment Ethical hacking exercise in which certified Red Team Operators emulate attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) across planning, reconnaissance, exploitation, and post-exploitation phases to identify and assess vulnerabilities across an organization's systems and procedures.
• Assumed Breach Penetration Test Penetration test that begins inside the network, assuming initial access has already been gained (e.g., via phishing), and measures how far an attacker can move laterally and escalate privileges to reach High Value Assets or Domain Admin status.
• Purple Team Collaboration Test Collaborative testing engagement in which a red team engineer conducts a video call and screen share with the customer's blue team, walking through real-world attack TTPs in real time to strengthen detection and response capability.
• Web Application Assessments Security testing for web applications from code to cloud, exposing logic flaws, injection risks, and hidden exploits to secure applications against attacks.
• Wireless Network Assessments Security assessments of wireless network infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in WiFi networks and related systems.
• Social Engineering Testing of the human firewall by assessing how employees respond to phishing, impersonation, and manipulation attempts including USB drop attacks, pretexting, and impersonation.
• Physical Security Assessments Assessments evaluating physical security controls including facility access, surveillance, and policies to identify vulnerabilities in physical security posture.
• Employee Awareness Training Training programs to educate employees about cybersecurity threats, secure practices, and how to recognize and respond to social engineering and phishing attacks.
• Incident Response Rapid response services for organizations experiencing cyber attacks, including ransomware negotiations, recovery assistance, and mitigation support.
• Forensic Services Digital forensic investigations to identify the origin, culprits, and breakpoints that compromised a network following a cyber attack, enabling organizations to take action and prevent future incidents.
• Data Security Compliance Services to help organizations meet compliance requirements including HIPAA, SOC, NCUA, FFIEC, and CMMC through security assessments and audits.
• Preferred Partner Program Partner program allowing resellers and MSPs to offer Secure Network Technologies' security services to their clients, earning commission and accessing marketing materials, rebranding services, and training resources.
• Dark Web Intelligence Services Intelligence services monitoring the dark web for compromised credentials, stolen data, and threat actor discussions relevant to client organizations.
