KrakenIO is a leading cybersecurity firm based in New York. We specialize in OPSEC assessments, reconnaissance, OSINT research, and providing Integrated Security Analytics Solutions (ISAS). Our mission is to equip businesses with the tools and strategies to combat digital threats effectively.

Unlike a red team, which primarily focuses on simulating cyberattacks to test defenses, KrakenIO employs a broader set of strategies, including OPSEC assessments, deep OSINT research, and our unique Ransomware as a Service (RaaS) for proactive defense and threat simulation. This approach allows us to offer a more comprehensive understanding of security vulnerabilities.

KrakenIO's approach is more holistic than traditional penetration testing firms. We utilize OSINT, RaaS, and ISAS to not only identify vulnerabilities but also simulate advanced persistent threats, offering a deeper insight into potential security breaches and crafting more effective defenses.

Our systematic approach includes OPSEC evaluations, extensive OSINT research, our Integrated Security Analytics Solutions application, and Ransomware as a Service for threat simulation. This comprehensive process enables us to uncover vulnerabilities and devise strategic defense mechanisms.

We cater to various sectors, including finance, healthcare, technology, media, retail, and government, seeking to fortify their cybersecurity posture.

Our unique proposition is our ability to simulate advanced persistent threats through RaaS and our comprehensive cybersecurity approach. This enables us to provide unmatched insights and recommendations for defending against digital threats.

OSINT is fundamental to our operations as it allows us to gather publicly available data that could highlight vulnerabilities or risks. This information forms the base of our security assessments and strategy development.

We strictly adhere to legal and ethical standards, ensuring we have the necessary permissions before any investigation. Our commitment to legality and ethics is paramount in all operations.

We look for various types of information, including public company data, domain information, company technologies, employee information, and more. The specifics depend on the individual assessment and client requirements.

If we find a security vulnerability, we document it and include it in our comprehensive report, along with recommendations for mitigation and prevention strategies.

We employ stringent data handling and privacy protocols to ensure all collected information is securely stored and appropriately destroyed at the end of an assessment.

Clients receive a comprehensive report detailing our findings, insights, and strategic recommendations for bolstering their cybersecurity defenses based on our thorough assessment.
