What is Scenario-Based Testing?
Measuring the success of security operations on efficiency alone fails to address the complete picture.
Successful organizations need to fully understand how good are their security teams, tools and procedures at detecting and responding to threats.
Performed by experienced HoneyTek Systems ethical hackers, the tests are designed to reflect common cyber security threat scenarios, helping validate the effectiveness of current controls, while driving improvements to threat hunting, breach detection and incident response.
Let us test your cyber security effectiveness.

Benefits of
Scenario-Based Testing
Unlike traditional penetration testing, which aims to uncover as many vulnerabilities as possible, our scenario-based testing is designed to benchmark the performance of cyber security controls to safeguard against specific adversarial behaviours.
Scenario-based testing is a specialist form of offensive security assessment helping to answer important questions such as:
How suitable and well-configured are monitoring technologies to prevent and identify threats?
Are there any network security blind spots that persistent attackers could exploit?
Are ‘blue team’ security analysts able to shut down advanced and sophisticated attacks?
How good are security analysts at differentiating genuine threats from false positives?
Are incident response plans in place to escalate threats and manage compromises?
