Netvestigate is a research-led cybersecurity advisory firm. We help technology, financial, and healthcare organizations make informed decisions about how their systems are structured, secured, and defended — grounded in original research and real adversary behavior.
Our work spans research, architecture, and operations. Every engagement begins with the same first principle: understand what is actually attacking the client, then decide what is worth doing about it.
Original research into the vulnerabilities, malware, and adversary techniques relevant to your environment. Includes responsible disclosure and publishable advisories.
Architectural review and advisory for cloud, identity, and platform engineering teams. Designed for organizations that have outgrown checklist-driven security.
Intelligence-led red team and purple team operations modeled on the threat actors most likely to target your sector — followed by enablement, not invoices.
Detection program design and tuning for SIEM, EDR, and cloud-native security platforms. We help SOC and detection teams replace volume with visibility.
Pre-incident retainers and on-call response for active intrusions. Forensic rigor with documentation that holds up in postmortems, audits, and regulator briefings.
Confidential advisory for security leaders, founders, and boards navigating strategic decisions: vendor selection, M&A diligence, regulatory exposure, and program scaling.
Threat models differ by sector. Our engagements concentrate in industries where regulatory, reputational, and operational stakes are high enough to require evidence-based decisions.
Banks, fintech platforms, and asset managers. Regulatory-aware, fraud-aware.
HIPAA, HITRUST, and clinical-system risk. Connected medical device research.
Multi-tenant architecture, supply-chain risk, secure product engineering.
FedRAMP, FISMA, and CMMC-adjacent advisory. Cleared resources available.
OT/ICS environments, energy, transportation. Joint IT/OT threat modeling.
Most cybersecurity consulting is built for procurement. Ours is built for the engineers, operators, and executives who actually have to act on it.
Every practice is staffed by researchers, not generalist consultants. Our advisory is grounded in primary research — the kind that ships CVEs and conference talks, not just citations.
Our team has run security at scale. Recommendations come from people who have owned the pager, not from a methodology deck. Engineers can defend our findings; executives can act on them.
We sell research, advisory, and judgment — never resold tooling. We have no vendor commissions and no preferred-partner kickbacks. Recommendations are evidence-driven and defensible.
Engagements end with measurable change — a fixed control, a tuned detection, a cleared finding, a ratified architecture. Documentation is a record, not a deliverable.
"The hardest part of security is not finding what is broken. It is convincing the people who can fix it that it matters, in language they can defend in a meeting they did not want to have."
A mid-stage payments platform engaged Netvestigate after an internal review surfaced gaps between their detection program and the threats most likely to target their environment. The team was sophisticated, well-resourced, and skeptical of consultants — exactly the working relationship we want.
Over ten weeks, we mapped current detections against MITRE ATT&CK techniques observed in their threat intelligence, co-developed new detection content with their SOC, and tuned existing rules that were generating noise without value. The brief was delivered to engineering leadership and the security committee.
A selection of public research and writing from the practice. Private engagements are not represented; case study material is published only with client consent.
A re-analysis of three years of disclosed vulnerabilities arguing severity-driven prioritization systematically misallocates defensive effort, and what to use instead.
A six-month study of underground listings tracking how access is priced, what credentials are worth, and why most ransomware is downstream of unremarkable phishing.
Field notes from auditing identity in eleven mid-sized cloud estates. The dangerous paths are rarely the ones reviewed in change tickets.
A practitioner's argument that detection programs collapse under their own volume long before they collapse under sophistication. Triage the visibility, then the noise.
