At SHV Energy, we believe that defensive security should be validated by offensive security.
Traditionally, offensive security (e.g. penetration testing and red teaming) is performed by ethical hackers, who seek to identify security vulnerabilities in applications, systems, and networks.
While SHV Energy extensively employs manual security testing, we have chosen to enhance our offensive security and scale it globally through AI. We have partnered with an innovative Dutch start-up, utilising their AI-powered system to continuously monitor our external attack surface (publicly internet-facing systems) for emerging risks and vulnerabilities.
Adopting a hacker’s perspective uncovers the targets and methods that could be exploited in a real-world security incident. The system autonomously discovers, scans, and validates risks on a continuous basis. This state-of-the-art technology is regularly updated and improved by our partner’s in-house team of hackers.
"The AI-powered offensive security platform enables us to swiftly identify and remediate critical risks in our continuously evolving environment."
