In 2006, our founder Adriel Desautels, was approached to help find a vendor that offered realistic threat penetration testing services. While searching, he quickly noticed there was nothing available that could authentically replicate what the bad guys do. Thus, Netragard was born, and we performed our first bonafide penetration test. 

We were able to exploit a vulnerability in an application that was running with elevated privileges that was not detected by other vendors due to their use of commercial, off the shelf, tools. Using our research based, hands-on approach we were able to easily identify the issues of the application and exploit its vulnerabilities. Ultimately, we compromised the entire domain in 4 minutes.

Our research methodology is derived from decades of experience in 0-day vulnerability research and exploit development that is the foundation of our services today. We have established a global reputation for providing high-quality offensive and defensive security services.  Our services identify vulnerabilities in software, hardware, and proprietary technologies while providing effective and efficient preventative solutions.

Netragard was founded out of a necessity for realistic threat penetration testing on the premise of delivering high quality research driven services and continues to be our standard today.
