Good Hackers Alliance (GHA) focuses on Deep Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (Deep VAPT) to uncover threats and vulnerabilities that common VAPT service providers fail to identify. Some of the credentials include: winner of world class hacking competitions year after year since 2010, success stories in penetration into critical infra-structures in various large scale and high profile assignments.

Specifically, GHA experts have been helping numerous critical infra-structures such as banks, energy, water, chemical plants achieve world-class level security clearance. One prominent example is, in a consented VAPT assignment commissioned by a governmental ministry, GHA managed to gain control of the gate of a water dam in just 7 hours of indirect hacking from the internet. On references, GHA has over the years established important credentials in penetration testing of planes, cars and industrial control systems; and with that, assisted the customers to achieve high-level assurance of the security postures of their IT and OT operations.

Content De-construction, Neutralization and Re-construction (CDNR)

Today, organizations are not short of choices in advanced cyber protection tools. These mainstream cyber technologies, be it tradition anti-virus, sand-boxing, analytics, machine learning, threat intelligence are all built on the same principle and purpose to detect the bad things and to remove them. Unfortunately, today’s advanced threats are no longer easily detectable. Detection is fundamentally inadequate. It needs to be augmented by non-detection-centric strategy.

In the paradigm of non-detection-centric approach, one of the strategies is sanitization, or popularly known as “Content Dis-arm and Re-construction” (CDR). On this, Athena Dynamics advocates the notion of “Content De-construction, Neutralization and Re-construction” (CDNR) for the simple reason that “dis-arm” has an implicit relation to detection. One needs to detect that there is arm in order to dis-arm it.

CDNR technologies has gained popularity gradually in recent years. Athena Dynamics pioneers the introduction of this fundamentally differentiated cyber strategy to the industries, especially in protection of “crown jewel” assets and Critical Info-Infrastructures of public and private sectors.
