The best offensive security shouldn’t be a privilege.
We started as pen testers, breaking in by hand for people who needed to know. We still do: senior operators on the problems only people can solve. Incenter puts that same edge in reach of everyone else.
The point was never one company at a time.
Good offensive security shouldn’t come down to who can afford a bench. The hardest problems still go to people who do only this. The everyday exposure runs continuously, in reach of the rest. The world we’re working toward is a plainer one, where a business gets on with what it does and doesn’t spend its days looking over its shoulder.
Fifteen years, one idea.
- 2010
We broke in, by hand.
Pen testing, for people who needed to know what a real attacker could reach. Bootstrapped, no VC, one person getting past the procurement desks of large banks.
- The 2010s
The rest of the discipline.
Red team, purple team, threat intel, threat hunting. A bench of people who do nothing else, and the backend to make each engagement inform the next.
- Along the way
The projects that couldn’t fail.
Where the stakes were real, we took the work others turned down.
- Then Incenter
A platform, for everyone else.
Continuous testing that reaches organizations who could never staff their own operators. The bench didn’t shrink. It does what software can’t.
- Today
Still independent.
Fifteen years, unacquired. The bench and the platform, doing the same job they always did.
