AI writes code fast. It also writes vulnerabilities fast.
Security testing that finds what scanners miss.
HELM deploys full-scope penetration testing led by security researchers, and builds real-time defensive systems for a world where AI-generated code ships at machine speed.
Platform
Offense and defense. One lab.
Two products, built from the same research. What we learn breaking in makes our defense systems smarter.
HELM Strike
Offensive security testing
Full-scope penetration testing across network, web, API, cloud, and social engineering vectors. Led by security researchers who think like adversaries.

Real-time defensive platform
Autonomous threat detection and response, trained on real attack patterns from our own offensive research. Defense that operates at machine speed.
Learn moreHELM Strike
Penetration testing across every layer.
We test the way real adversaries operate. Through the full kill chain, with manual techniques that automated tools don’t replicate.
Network & Infrastructure
Internal and external network assessments. We test perimeter defenses, lateral movement paths, and privilege escalation vectors across your full infrastructure.
Web Applications & APIs
Beyond OWASP Top 10. Deep manual testing of authentication flows, business logic, injection points, and API authorization across REST, GraphQL, and gRPC.
Cloud Environments
AWS, Azure, and GCP assessments. IAM policy review, storage exposure, serverless function analysis, and cross-account trust exploitation.
Social Engineering
Phishing campaigns, pretexting, and physical security testing. We evaluate the human element of your security posture with realistic scenarios.
HELM Shield
Defense built from real attack data.
Autonomous defensive systems informed by what we learn on offense. Detection and response that operates at machine speed, trained on real-world attack patterns from our own research.

AI is incredibly smart, and incredibly dumb.
AI-generated code is functional, fast, and riddled with subtle security misses. Broken access controls, unsafe defaults, trust boundary violations, all compounded by the sheer volume of code shipping at machine speed. HELM is built for this reality.
Research-led
Our team publishes security research and contributes to open-source tools. We find novel vulnerabilities, not just scan for known CVEs.
CVE-current
We continuously test against the CVE database and log every new disclosure into our own proprietary vulnerability index, keeping every engagement current.
Manual depth
Automated scanning is table stakes. Our assessments combine tooling with deep manual testing that finds the issues scanners miss.
Actionable output
No 300-page PDF of scanner output. We deliver focused reports with real severity assessments, reproduction steps, and fix guidance.
