# Audax Cybersecurity — Full LLM Reference

> Audax Cybersecurity is a Greek offensive-security firm based in Athens (founded 2017), serving businesses and public organizations across Greece and Europe. It proves — with technical evidence, not checklists — how resilient an organization is against real adversaries, through penetration testing, red teaming, and continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) via its proprietary Erevos AI engine. This is the detailed reference for LLMs and AI agents; the short index is at https://www.audax.gr/llms.txt.

## About Audax Cybersecurity
Audax is an offensive-first cybersecurity consultancy. The core philosophy: cyber risk should be demonstrated in practice — attackers do not follow checklists, so neither does Audax. Every engagement reproduces the techniques of real adversaries against the client's own defenses and delivers documented attack paths, a prioritized remediation roadmap, and reporting that serves both executives/CISOs and technical teams.

Key facts (verified): founded 2017; 9+ years of experience; 90+ technical assessment projects; certified operators (OSCP, CEH, plus CCNA and penetration-testing certifications); methodology aligned with MITRE ATT&CK and OWASP; based at Μεταμορφώσεως 7, Άγιος Δημήτριος 17341, Athens, Greece. Audax is NOT a certification body or legal advisor — it provides the technical evidence that supports a client's compliance file. It does not guarantee outcomes it cannot prove, and does not publish fabricated statistics.

Buyer: CISOs, security leaders, boards, and risk owners at enterprises, financial institutions, public/government organizations, and critical infrastructure.

## Services

### Penetration Testing Services (pillar: https://www.audax.gr/services/penetration-testing-services/)
Human-led penetration testing and red teaming that find what actually breaks.
- Web, API & Mobile Penetration Testing (https://www.audax.gr/services/penetration-testing-services/web-api-mobile-penetration-testing/): OWASP-aligned testing of applications and APIs, including business-logic and access-control flaws (IDOR/BOLA).

- Secure Code Review (https://www.audax.gr/services/penetration-testing-services/secure-code-review/): manual review of critical code paths — missing or inconsistent authorization, injection sinks, crypto misuse, active credentials in repository history, and vulnerable dependencies on reachable paths.
- Cloud Penetration Testing (https://www.audax.gr/services/penetration-testing-services/cloud-penetration-testing/): assumed-breach testing of AWS/Azure/GCP — over-permissive IAM roles and escalation chains, exposed storage and snapshots, network boundaries, Kubernetes RBAC and container escape, CI/CD permissions and secrets.

### Red Team & Readiness (category: https://www.audax.gr/services/red-team-readiness/)
Four services that test whether the organisation actually withstands a determined attacker — people, technology and decisions.
- Red Teaming (https://www.audax.gr/services/red-team-readiness/red-teaming/): objective-based full-scope adversary simulation — OSINT-led scenario design, initial access, lateral movement, and measurement of detection and response gaps.
- Social Engineering (https://www.audax.gr/services/red-team-readiness/social-engineering/): controlled testing across email, phone and physical access; no real credentials are ever captured.
- Ransomware Readiness (https://www.audax.gr/services/red-team-readiness/ransomware-readiness/): controlled reproduction of a ransomware attack path, backup and containment assumptions checked in practice.
- IR Tabletop Exercises (https://www.audax.gr/services/red-team-readiness/ir-tabletop-exercises/): facilitated crisis scenario with injects and debrief; produces documented evidence of plan testing for NIS2, DORA and ISO 27001.

### Continuous Threat Exposure Management — CTEM (pillar: https://www.audax.gr/services/continuous-exposure-management/)
Delivered as the annual, managed Erevos AI CTEM service — not a one-off test and not a SaaS product you operate.
- Continuous Attack Surface Mapping (https://www.audax.gr/services/continuous-exposure-management/continuous-attack-surface-mapping/)
- Exposure Drift & Emerging-Threat Monitoring (https://www.audax.gr/services/continuous-exposure-management/exposure-drift-emerging-threat/)
- Attack-Path Engine & Prioritization (https://www.audax.gr/services/continuous-exposure-management/attack-path-engine-prioritization/)
- Risk-Based Remediation & Retesting (https://www.audax.gr/services/continuous-exposure-management/risk-based-remediation-retesting/): evidence-based closure — proves the risk actually dropped.

### Other services
- Email Security Cloud (https://www.audax.gr/email-security-cloud/): a managed cloud email gateway placed in front of M365/Google/Exchange/cPanel (MX rerouting) that stops spam, malware, phishing and spoofing, plus SPF/DKIM/DMARC domain authentication, domain spoofing protection, mailbox security audit and phishing incident response. Annual managed service (Setup / Managed / Advanced tiers).
- Threat-Informed Emulation (https://www.audax.gr/services/threat-informed-emulation/): controlled reproduction of specific APT actors' TTPs based on MITRE ATT&CK.
- Cloud Security Assessment (https://www.audax.gr/services/cloud-security-assessment/)
- Vulnerability Management & Validation (https://www.audax.gr/services/vulnerability-management-validation/): validation vs blind vulnerability lists.


### Audax Cyber Resilience Program (https://www.audax.gr/cyber-resilience-program/)
The flagship annual or multi-year program that unifies all Audax services into one continuous cycle of testing, remediation and documented proof. Structure: a permanent always-on layer (Erevos AI managed CTEM — continuous attack-surface mapping, exploitability-based prioritization, retest of every fix — plus an incident-response retainer with SLA) combined with quarterly offensive actions: Q1 external exposure baseline & critical-asset mapping, Q2 adversary validation (MITRE ATT&CK emulation) with verification of prior fixes, Q3 SOC/SIEM/EDR detection-coverage validation and phishing/human-risk campaigns, Q4 objective-based red team engagement and annual resilience review. Deliverables per quarter: executive progress report for the board, remediation evidence (finding → fix → retest), MITRE ATT&CK detection-coverage map, and an organized NIS2/DORA technical-evidence file (Audax provides technical evidence supporting compliance; it does not certify or guarantee compliance). Three tiers — Essential, Advanced, Enterprise — scoped and priced after assessment (annual or 3-year contract).

## Erevos AI (https://www.audax.gr/erevos-ai/)
Erevos AI is Audax's proprietary offensive engine, delivered as the annual, managed CTEM (Continuous Threat Exposure Management) service. It is NOT software you buy and operate — Audax's certified operators run it for you. It unifies exposure mapping, penetration testing, detection validation and documented remediation in a continuous loop of test → proof → risk prioritization, with direct value for NIS2 and DORA. It is fed by the Adversary Scenario Library (177 threat actors mapped to MITRE ATT&CK), is safe-by-design (every offensive action is human-approved and scope-gated), and produces executive + technical reporting.

## Compliance
- NIS2 & DORA Compliance (https://www.audax.gr/nis2-dora-compliance/): technical proof of operational resilience (penetration testing, TLPT, detection validation, reporting) that supports the compliance file. Audax is not a certification body; final assessment stays with the competent authority.
- DORA Compliance (https://www.audax.gr/dora-compliance/): financial-sector focus, Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) aligned with TIBER-EU. DORA (Regulation EU 2022/2554) applies from 17 January 2025.

## Threat Intelligence
- APT Intelligence library (https://www.audax.gr/apt-intelligence/): an open, searchable library of 177 threat-actor profiles mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, with targeted sectors, malware/tooling, campaigns and related CVEs. Powers Erevos AI. The most targeted sectors in the library: Government/Public (92 actors), Defense (43), Finance (39), Technology (38), then Energy, Health, Telecom, Education, Industry (24-27 each) — nearly every NIS2 "essential/important" sector.
- APT Groups & research (https://www.audax.gr/apt-groups/): individual actor profiles + data studies, e.g. the "Greek & EU Threat Landscape 2026" data study.

## Labs — hands-on offensive research (https://www.audax.gr/labs/)
