Fluid Attacks' Ethical Hacking solution consists of attacking diverse systems with the aim of discovering vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious hackers to generate significant damage to a company. Our certified ethical hackers use methods and tools in a similar way to unethical hackers. However, the difference is that our hackers first obtain your permission and then attack your system with the goal of helping you proactively look for and understand the threats to your technology. They do a reconnaissance of your IT infrastructure, applications or source code and try to get access and exploit flaws through ethical pentesting to collect and analyze information that can be useful to improve your organization's data protection.
Contrary to other ethical hacking services, our solution is performed continuously throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC). This means you don't have to wait for professional hacker services to check on the security of a product just before it reaches its end users. We guarantee ethical hacking attacks that find complex vulnerabilities early in a preventive way, so that your development team can remediate them before your software goes into production.
Benefits of Ethical Hacking
Simultaneous security assessment
Security in DevSecOps is as crucial as functionality. When it comes to detecting and reporting vulnerabilities, our hackers can go at the pace of your company's developers, which is not possible with traditional hacking solutions. In this way, your proactive security stance saves your company both money in remediation and time in release to production.
Secure apps, networks, cloud infrastructure and more
Fluid Attacks' Ethical Hacking targets risks to a wide variety of systems, including web and mobile applications, containers, operational technology, the Internet of Things, among others.
Report of critical severity vulnerabilities
Our latest research shows that all of the critical severity vulnerabilities in our clients' systems were detected by the manual method only. That is, ethical hackers can find the vulnerabilities automated tools can't.
10 hackers assigned on average
With our solution, you are not paying for a so-called 'automatic hacking' process. Rather than assigning only one professional to evaluate threats to your IT systems' security using an automated tool, at Fluid Attacks, Ethical Hacking is usually performed by 10 ethical or white hat hackers on average per project.
Price of hacking based on scope
Our cost is variable and proportional to the number of developers who build and modify your code. In other words, the price you pay for our Ethical Hacking solution will be proportional to your investment in software development.
Meet compliance requirements and then some
We check that your systems comply with our rich catalog of security requirements, expertly curated from international standards (e.g., PCI DSS, OWASP, NIST, GDPR, HIPAA) and not limited to the most talked about. Since we conduct assessments continuously, we enable your security posture to be beyond what is expected by any standard but required in today's threat landscape.

Ethical Hacking FAQs
What does a certified ethical hacker do?
A certified ethical hacker exerts their expertise to discover everything that can pose a cybersecurity risk within an IT system, operating with the consent of its owners. In their assessments, they normally proceed in the same phases a skilled threat actor would follow: passive and active reconnaissance, enumeration, analysis and exploitation. In a later reporting phase, ethical hackers present their findings, which are valuable to trigger remediation efforts. We offer plenty more details here.
Why is ethical hacking important?
Ethical hacking is important because it anticipates attacks that malicious actors would try to perform, thus informing of the flaws in the system that need to be remediated, which are often more severe than those found using only automated tools.
