Vulnerability Assessment / Penetration Testing

In Cyber Defense Institute, leading security engineers conduct security assessments, with high technical skills, wealth of experience and talent for attacking.

Hacking for security assessments on web applications, networks, embedded devices, control systems and social games, etc., is carried out based on the engineers' strategical ideas, not relying on automated tools.

Our approach is totally different from scan tool-based or common manual-based diagnoses, and contributes to the safe operation of the systems by detecting vulnerabilities and revealing real threats lurking in business administration and organizational operations.

Service Lineup

  • Web Applications
  • Smartphone Applications
  • Internal / External Networks
  • Embedded Devices
  • SCADA / Control Systems
  • Firewalls
  • Games

Incident Response / Forensics

Our incident response service aims for a one-stop service for incident response in the event of security incidents such as targeted attacks to a corporate network from external entities, falsification of web applications and fraudulent access. We support initial response to full-fledged investigation (e.g. forensic survey, malware analysis, log analysis), assist restoration and advice preventative measures.

Characteristics

Sophisticated forensic technology:

Highly experienced forensic engineers are essential for determining the cause of advanced cyberattacks and assessing the full extent of the damage.

Our incident response service is performed by forensic experts who have experience in training experts in law enforcement agencies and privately-owned companies.

Comprehensive analytical capability:

Incidents are resolved by bringing together the intelligence of our forensic engineers, malware analysts, penetration testers well-versed on the view and thought processes of attackers, and other experts.

Supporting CSIRT operations:

We provide a wide range of support for the operation of CSIRT, including initial response, internalizing simple forensic investigations and vulnerability assessments, cyber exercises, and provision of incident response tools.

Consulting

Viewing recent information security incidents, there are cases where organizations only treat the obvious symptoms, or go to the other extreme with excessive measures.

Many organizations are establishing a structure for incident response, not only to prevent incidents, but also to minimize damage after an incident, and for rapid recovery. We assist by conducting various investigations and providing support.

Training courses

Cyber Defense Institute provides training services such as hacking, forensics and malware analysis.

Content of the training courses are based on practical knowledge gained through incident response and penetration testing. Courses meet wide-ranging needs for human resource development, from persons aiming to be a security expert, desiring to master advanced technologies, cybercrime investigators and others.
