There's more to cybersecurity than patches, passwords, and perimeters. Default settings and misconfigurations could still leave your devices at risk of compromise.
Penetration Testing is one of the most effective ways to assess your systems security, discover vulnerabilities, and determine the real-world risk of any vulnerabilities that are present.
We deliver cybersecurity workshops all around the UK, as well as remotely. Our workshops cover a range of cybersecurity topics, from awareness issues to ethical hacking.
There's more to cybersecurity than patches, passwords, and perimeters. Default settings and misconfigurations could still leave your devices at risk of compromise.
We automate the process of finding and locking down these issues.
Your devices undergo continuous security testing to ensure that new issues are found quickly, massively reducing the mean-time-to-detection for new issues.
Issues are displayed in priority order, so you can address the most important issues first.
Each discovered issues comes with a full description of the weakness, the risk it exposes your organisation to, and references to vendor or researcher documentation giving the full backstory where it's needed.
When you don't need the long story, remediate guidance is short, simple, and to the point.
Our platform has a granular permissions model that let's you control who can access what.
You can discuss issues, track remediation work, and assign tasks to your co-workers.
If you're interested in Akimbo Harden but you'd like to see a demo before you jump in, then we'd love to show you around! Drop us an email and we'll show you how it works and how to get the most out of the platform.
When it comes to locking down systems, there's a lot to keep track of and it's easy to miss something. Plus with so many different options for Penetration Testing and similar services, it can be difficult to know what is the best approach to achieve your goals. Our cybersecurity testing service can give you confidence in your security stance and we'll work with your team, to tailor our approach to what you're trying to achieve. Here are some examples of systems we assess:
With many companies now relying heavily on web and mobile applications the impact of a security vulnerability in one of these systems can be devastating. We offer testing for web technologies, covering everything from simple public brochure websites to complex web applications and Application Programming Interfaces (API).
With so many companies moving workloads to major cloud platforms such as Azure and AWS, it's important to keep on top of your cloud security. We offer cybersecurity testing against cloud hosted applications, and infrastructure, as well as the cloud configuration itself.
Whether you're looking to secure an on-prem internal network or your external infrastructure services, such as email and file sharing, we can perform security testing of your systems.
Staff leaving laptops unlocked over lunch or unattended on trains. What's the worst that can happen? We can review device builds to ensure they are secured against local vulnerabilities such as privilege escalation and that staff members can only access the resources they're authorised to.
WiFi networks are just another weak point in networks that can be targeted by attackers. We can review the configuration, encryption, and signal bleed of wireless networks to ensure that they're hardened against attack. As well as performing segmentation attacks to jump between networks.
Many organisations networks are configured to rely on strong perimeters; if your firewall is poorly configured then attackers may target services thought to be protected. Firewall reviews ensure that the device and its ruleset are properly hardened.

Awareness Training can be a key part to reducing the risk of threats such as social engineering and phishing – our awareness training covers key areas of security, how hackers break systems, and how your staff can keep your company secure.
Our "Building and Breaking Web Applications" training course teaches how hackers compromise web applications, how to perform effective security tests of these applications, and how to remediate common vulnerabilities and weaknesses.
Our "Building and Breaking Networks" training course teaches how hackers compromise networks, servers, and workstations. As well as the methodology needed to perform effective security tests and to harden systems.
Akimbo Core deliver cybersecurity workshops all around the UK, as well as remotely. Our workshops cover a range of topics from technical subjects such as how to get the most out of cybersecurity testing, to security awareness issues within businesses.
Our workshops are tailored to your organisations needs and interests. Previous workshops have included how organisations can recognise and detect threats, including both technical measures that can be put in place to detect and block them, as well as staff security awareness training.
Our speakers are experienced ethical hackers and can give first-hand examples of how different threats can be built and delivered, such as how attackers put together attacks and “What happens next” when a staff member falls for a social engineering scam.
