Proactive Security

Pioneering a New Approach to Cyber Defense

About Us

Proactive Security is an unique initiative by Pontus Security LLC that is strives to transform how businesses identify and remediate critical cyber vulnerabilities. Our mission is to help organizations of all sizes enhance their cyber resilience by proactively uncovering and addressing security gaps before they can be exploited by malicious actors.

Our Approach

Traditional cybersecurity practices like annual penetration testing often leave organizations exposed to emerging threats in between assessments, or threats that were looked over or missed during the engagement. Proactive Security addresses these challenges by continuously monitoring for new vulnerabilities that could impact our clients' internet-facing systems.

Using advanced techniques and best-in-class tools, our team of experienced security professionals identifies potential risks and provides timely alerts along with clear remediation guidance. By bringing these issues to our clients' attention proactively, we enable them to strengthen their security posture and reduce the risk of damaging cyber incidents.

Our Commitment

At Pontus Security, we are committed to the highest ethical standards and strictly adhere to responsible disclosure practices. We respect the privacy of our clients and never share information about identified vulnerabilities without their express consent. Our goal is to be a trusted partner in our clients' cybersecurity journey, helping them navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape with greater confidence and resilience.

Common Questions

Absolutely not. We have a strict policy against unauthorized interaction or probing of any organization's systems or networks. Our vulnerability identification process relies solely on analyzing publicly available information and data. We do not engage in any active testing, scanning, or exploitation of vulnerabilities.
We are committed to completely ethical and legal conduct. We respect the privacy and security of every organization and operate with complete transparency. When we identify potential vulnerabilities, we disclose them responsibly to the affected organization, providing them with the information they need to verify and remediate the issue. Our approach is designed to help organizations strengthen their security posture without any unauthorized access or disruption to their operations.

Proactive Security takes a fundamentally different approach compared to traditional penetration testing. Rather than actively interacting with our clients' systems, we leverage publicly available information to identify critical vulnerabilities that are already exposed to the internet. This means we can uncover significant risks without any potential disruption to our clients' operations.
In contrast, penetration testing involves authorized simulated attacks on a client's systems, which may not always surface the most critical vulnerabilities. For Proactive Security, we reach out to potential clients specifically because we have identified high-severity vulnerabilities in their internet-facing assets that require immediate attention. Our approach ensures that the most pressing security issues are brought to the forefront, enabling organizations to prioritize their remediation efforts effectively.

We focus on identifying high-severity vulnerabilities in internet-facing systems that could lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, or other significant compromises if exploited. Examples include unpatched software flaws, misconfigurations, and exposed databases.

If we identify potential vulnerabilities impacting your organization, we will reach out via email. We will offer to write a detailed vulnerability report for you that you can purchase. We are also available to discuss the findings further and provide guidance as needed.

We adhere to strict confidentiality practices and will never share information about vulnerabilities impacting a specific client without their expressed permission. Our reports are provided only to authorized contacts within your organization, and never shared otherwise.
