What eSecurity does

eSecurity is a Brazilian cybersecurity company founded in 2012 and headquartered on Avenida Paulista in São Paulo, specializing in offensive penetration testing and defensive managed security services for enterprise and government clients. The company's core offerings span five penetration testing disciplines — Web Applications, APIs, Mobile (Android/iOS), IT Infrastructure (external/internal), and Active Directory — delivered through a proprietary 7-phase methodology (information gathering, scheduling, execution, initial report, client remediation, retest validation, final report). Testing methodology follows internationally recognized frameworks including OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Top 10, OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide, PTES, NIST SP 800-115, and MITRE ATT&CK, with hybrid automated-plus-manual analysis executed by certified specialists (OSCP, eWPT, CEH). The Active Directory practice notably uses BloodHound for attack-path analysis.

Complementing its offensive services, eSecurity operates a 24/7 Security Operations Center providing continuous monitoring, incident response, threat hunting, and security hardening based on MITRE ATT&CK detection mapping, UEBA behavioral models, and multi-stage attack (Kill Chain) analysis. The company's technology stack is primarily composed of industry-standard offensive security tooling integrated with manual expert workflows rather than proprietary AI/ML systems.

eSecurity operates a professional services and managed services revenue model with quote-based pricing and multi-year contract structures. Sales are conducted through direct enterprise field engagement initiated via website quote requests ('Solicite um Orçamento'), targeting enterprise CISOs and security teams across verticals including finance, telecommunications, retail, healthcare, industrial, media, and government/military. The company claims 100+ protected clients and 500+ completed penetration tests with zero breaches among clients who implemented full remediation. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, partnerships, or institutional investors have been disclosed.

Core offering

eSecurity provides offensive and defensive cybersecurity services to enterprise and government clients in Brazil, centered on specialized penetration testing (web, API, mobile, infrastructure, and Active Directory) and a 24/7 Security Operations Center for continuous monitoring, incident response, and threat hunting. Services are delivered via a structured 7-phase pentest methodology and complemented by security hardening aligned to CIS Benchmarks and zero-trust practices.

Product overview

eSecurity offers a comprehensive portfolio of offensive cybersecurity services centered around penetration testing and continuous defense. The core offerings include specialized pentest services for Web Applications (Pentest Web), APIs (Pentest API), Mobile Applications (Pentest Mobile), IT Infrastructure (external/internal perimeter testing), and Active Directory environments. Complementing offensive testing is a defensive layer consisting of SOC 24/7 for continuous monitoring and incident response, plus Security Hardening services. The company positions itself as a full-spectrum cybersecurity provider, combining manual expert-driven assessments with methodologies aligned to international frameworks (OWASP, NIST, MITRE ATT&CK, PTES). The service delivery model follows a structured 7-phase pentest process: information gathering, scheduling, testing execution, initial report delivery, client remediation, retest validation, and final project delivery. For continuous protection, the SOC operates around the clock with behavioral analytics, UEBA, MITRE ATT&CK-based detection, and advanced threat intelligence.
