Consulting for any team—big or small—through a cybersecurity lens.
Ingress Labs consults wherever you need a security perspective: startups shipping fast, SMBs under real operational constraints, vendors who need a second set of eyes, and enterprise teams who want attacker-informed guidance. This is not generic compliance advice—our consulting is built on how modern attackers actually chain mistakes into impact. You’ll get an attacker-informed plan your team can execute—not generic checklists.

Consulting // Where we help
Topics we consult on (operator-grade)
We don’t sell checklists. We map leverage points—identity, exposure, update paths, vendor access, and response readiness—then reduce your risk in ways your team can actually execute.
Threat modeling & attack-path mapping
- Adversarial threat modeling for systems, products, and workflows
- Attack-path mapping: what happens after the first foothold
- Abuse-case review for high-risk features (admin, auth, approvals)
- Critical asset and blast-radius clarity for leadership
Security architecture & posture
- Cloud and network architecture review (AWS/Azure/Kubernetes)
- Zero-trust and segmentation strategy (practical, not buzzwords)
- Identity design: MFA, SSO, privileged access, service accounts
- Logging strategy that supports detection + incident response
Offensive readiness & red-team prep
- Pre-engagement readiness: scoping, ROE, safety controls
- Purple-team planning: what to validate and how to measure it
- Control validation: are defenses effective or just installed?
- Detection gaps and response playbooks for realistic scenarios
Incident readiness & crisis decision support
- Tabletop exercises mapped to your actual systems and vendors
- Ransomware / BEC decision trees and communications flows
- Backup reality checks: restore drills, RTO/RPO, what breaks
- Third-party coordination: IT vendors, IR, legal/insurance workflows
Vendor risk & external access hygiene
- Remote access inventory and hardening (VPN/RDP/support tools)
- Vendor access patterns: time-bound creds, least privilege, audit
- Exposure review: externally reachable services and shadow infra
- Security requirements for partners, contractors, and providers
Product & application security advisory
- AppSec advisory for web apps and APIs
- Secure design reviews before launch (auth, approvals, boundaries)
- Security guardrails for engineering teams that ship fast
- Pragmatic prioritization: fix now vs mitigate vs monitor
