The Trusted Choice for Threat Simulation
Safe by Design
All simulations operate in controlled environments with cryptographic reversibility and multi-layer kill switches. Zero collateral risk to your live systems.
Real-World Accuracy
Our attack libraries mirror the latest TTPs used by real threat actors, mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
Audit-Ready Reports
Every engagement produces detailed reports with findings, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, gap analysis, and prioritized remediation roadmaps.
Expert-Led Engagements
Every simulation is overseen by certified security professionals with deep cybersecurity expertise.
Actionable Intelligence
Detailed findings, gap analysis, and prioritized recommendations delivered post-simulation so you know exactly what to fix.
Rapid Deployment
Cloud-native services that deploy in hours, not weeks. Start testing your targets immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before starting a simulation engagement.
Yes — safety is the foundation of every MST Networks engagement. All simulations run in fully isolated execution environments. Ransomware simulations use cryptographic reversibility (AES-256-GCM with Shamir key splitting), meaning every file can be restored byte-for-byte. DDoS simulations are scoped to agreed traffic thresholds that never cross into production risk. Multi-layer kill switches can halt any simulation instantly at any point.
It depends on the service: DDoS Simulation typically runs 1–3 days. Ransomware Simulation takes 1–5 days including scoping, execution, and final report. Phishing Campaigns run 2–4 weeks to capture realistic employee behavior patterns. All engagements include a detailed findings report delivered within 48 hours of completion.
Every engagement delivers a comprehensive report including: an executive summary (board-ready), resilience score per attack vector, MITRE ATT&CK gap analysis with technique IDs, a prioritized remediation roadmap, and compliance evidence mapped to NIST CSF, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, and CIS Controls. Reports are designed to be shared directly with your board, auditors, or cyber insurance providers.
It depends on your biggest risk area. If your business depends heavily on network uptime, start with DDoS Simulation. If you handle sensitive files or have endpoint-heavy infrastructure, Ransomware Simulation is most critical. If you've had past security incidents involving human error or social engineering, start with Phishing. Many clients run all three for full-spectrum coverage — we offer bundled engagements at reduced cost.
A traditional pen test finds vulnerabilities. MST Networks tests whether your existing security solutions and implementations actually respond correctly under real threat conditions. We go further — stress-testing your detection tools, response playbooks, and human decisions in a controlled but authentic scenario. Think of it as a fire drill for your security team, not just a building inspection.
It depends on the deployment mode you choose. Agent Mode uses a lightweight endpoint agent for maximum realism. Agentless Mode is fully API-driven and integrates with your existing EDR/XDR tools via Docker/Kubernetes — no agent deployment needed. Tabletop Mode requires no software at all. We'll recommend the right mode based on your environment during the discovery call.
Pricing is custom-scoped based on: the size of your environment (number of IPs, users, or endpoints), the simulation type(s) selected, engagement duration, and reporting depth required. We provide a detailed quote — typically within 1 business day of your inquiry. Multi-service engagements receive bundled pricing. Request a quote here →
Absolutely. All MST Networks engagements are governed by a signed NDA and Rules of Engagement (RoE) document before any simulation begins. No client data is ever exfiltrated or stored on our systems. Simulation telemetry is encrypted in transit and at rest. Our services operate with tenant isolation at the cryptographic level — your environment is fully segregated from any other client's.
