Get answers to common questions about cybersecurity, penetration testing, AI security agents, and compliance.
Penetration testing (pentesting) is a simulated cyberattack performed by security professionals to identify vulnerabilities in your systems before real attackers do. It involves actively exploiting weaknesses in networks, applications, and infrastructure to assess security posture and provide remediation recommendations.
Vulnerability assessment identifies and catalogues potential security weaknesses through automated scanning. Penetration testing goes further by actively exploiting those vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world attack impact. Think of vulnerability assessment as finding unlocked doors, while penetration testing actually opens them to see what's inside.
Penetration test duration depends on scope and complexity. A focused web application test typically takes 1-2 weeks. Comprehensive enterprise assessments covering networks, applications, and cloud infrastructure may require 3-4 weeks. We provide detailed timelines during scoping calls.
H2 Security AI Agents are specialized AI assistants trained on proprietary security methodology from real penetration tests and compliance audits. Unlike ChatGPT, they contain 239 private knowledge files covering pentest techniques, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, CIS benchmarks, SOC2 compliance, and DevSecOps pipelines.
ChatGPT provides generic security tips from public internet data. H2 Security agents are built from methodology developed over years of real engagements - the same knowledge used on $50k+ penetration tests. They provide structured playbooks, exact commands, and detection rules instead of vague suggestions.
Yes, the agents run locally on your machine through OpenClaw. Your data never leaves your computer - no cloud uploads, no API calls to third parties. This ensures complete privacy for sensitive security work.
SOC2 (Service Organization Control 2) is a compliance framework that evaluates how organizations manage customer data based on five trust criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. It's essential for SaaS companies and service providers handling sensitive data.
MITRE ATT&CK is a globally-accessible knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations. It helps security teams understand how attackers operate, improve threat detection, and prioritize defensive measures based on actual threat intelligence.
CIS Benchmarks are consensus-based, best-practice security configuration guides developed by the Center for Internet Security. They provide specific hardening recommendations for operating systems, cloud platforms, network devices, and applications to reduce attack surface.
DevSecOps integrates security practices into the DevOps pipeline, making security a shared responsibility throughout the software development lifecycle. It involves automated security testing (SAST, DAST), dependency scanning, infrastructure-as-code security, and continuous monitoring.
The DevSecOps Agent covers the full open-source security stack: Bearer and Semgrep for SAST, Trivy for container scanning, SLSA provenance, SBOM generation, GitHub Actions and GitLab CI integration. It provides ready-to-use pipeline configurations for JavaScript, Python, Go, Java, and more.
CISO-as-a-Service (vCISO) provides strategic security leadership without hiring a full-time Chief Information Security Officer. You get executive-level security guidance, risk management, compliance oversight, security program development, and board-level reporting at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CISO.
Yes, we provide comprehensive remediation support. After testing, you receive detailed reports with prioritized findings and specific remediation guidance. We offer follow-up consultations to clarify findings, retest after fixes are implemented, and can provide ongoing advisory support for complex remediations.
