Mitnick Security Consulting, LLC is a full-service information security consulting firm. Founded by Kevin Mitnick, and celebrating our 10th year in business, we offer a comprehensive range of services to help businesses and governments protect their valuable assets. Understand us by the work we do: A major internationally recognized credit bureau wanted an external party to challenge their company's security. Mitnick Security's team was deployed and simulated threats by black-hat attackers against the bureau. Using physical exploits and social engineering, the team penetrated critical systems and data centers. This included being able to access the credit reports and personal information of consumers. As a result of our findings and recommendations, the bureau was able to dramatically improve their security. The government of Ecuador was under the threat of having the presidential election stolen by hackers or hostile foreign governments capable of destabilizing the country. Mitnick Security's team was engaged to protect and monitor the systems that tabulated Ecuador's 2013 elections to prevent tampering and manipulation. Vulnerabilities were assessed, and security was improved. The elections went smoothly and all unwanted activities were blocked. "Penetrating a company's security often starts with the bad guy obtaining some piece of information that seems so innocent, so everyday and unimportant, that most people in the organization don't see any reason why the item should be protected and restricted.
