40 Years of Experience. One Shared Conviction: Think Like the Attacker.
StingPoint is a veteran-owned offensive security firm built by practitioners with 40+ years of combined information security experience. We map, test, and validate your organization's attack surface the way an attacker would — then give you a prioritized roadmap to close it before they get the chance.
The Team Behind StingPoint
StingPoint Security was built by practitioners — not consultants. The founding team brings a combined 40+ years of hands-on information security experience across offensive operations, enterprise architecture, incident response, and security program development. Some of us came up through the military. Some came through enterprise IT. All of us arrived at the same conclusion: the industry needed a firm that treats security like an attacker would, not like an auditor would.
We built StingPoint because the market had plenty of firms that could run a scanner and email you a PDF. What it didn't have enough of was operators — practitioners who understand the difference between a vulnerability on paper and a vulnerability that gets you owned at 2 AM, and who can translate that attacker perspective into structured, evidence-based assessments your leadership can actually act on.
Methodology Borrowed From Recon Doctrine
1. Know the Terrain First
Every assessment begins with passive intelligence gathering — mapping your exposure exactly as an attacker would see it, before a single active probe is run. You cannot defend ground you haven't mapped.
2. Validate, Don't Just Scan
Automated tools find known signatures. Human operators find the chains — the combination of misconfigurations, exposed credentials, and miscategorized assets that don't trigger any individual alert but add up to a complete compromise path.
3. Deliver Intelligence, Not Reports
A 200-page PDF that sits in a SharePoint folder is not a security deliverable. StingPoint produces ranked, business-contextualized findings with a prioritized remediation roadmap that your team can actually execute.
Anonymized Engagement Summaries
Active Credential Exposure at Regional Bank
A 900-person community bank requested an external assessment to satisfy a cyber insurance renewal trigger. Our passive reconnaissance uncovered 47 uncatalogued, internet-accessible subdomains running outdated software alongside active employee credentials circulating on underground markets.
Rogue Wireless Infrastructure at Multi-Site Clinic Network
A regional healthcare group with six clinic locations engaged StingPoint ahead of a HIPAA compliance review. WASA operations across all sites identified 12 unauthorized access points — three of which were broadcasting on the same SSID as the corporate network — plus 8 HID-injectable wireless peripherals on clinical workstations.
Shadow IT Exposure and BEC Pre-Conditions at Regional Law Firm
A 200-attorney firm engaged StingPoint following a near-miss wire fraud attempt. PASA and DIRA operations uncovered 19 lookalike domains registered within the prior 90 days, two of which had active MX records configured for email interception. EMTA findings revealed SPF and DMARC misconfigurations allowing external spoofing of the firm's primary domain.
