Pressure-test what happens after access is gained.

External defenses matter. So does what happens when someone gets past them.

Canary Trap helps your team validate whether internal networks, cloud environments, Microsoft 365 configurations, code, identity controls, segmentation, and operational technology are performing as expected under realistic attack conditions.

Internal controls should hold under pressure.

This outcome helps your team understand how far an attacker, compromised user, or misused identity could move once access exists inside the environment.

The goal is not to confirm that controls are documented. The goal is to validate whether they reduce reach, contain movement, protect sensitive systems, and give your team clearer direction on what to strengthen next.

You leave with a clearer view of:

  • Where internal control gaps exist
  • Whether segmentation limits lateral movement
  • How identity, access, and privilege could be misused
  • Where cloud or Microsoft 365 configurations increase exposure
  • Which code, system, or operational weaknesses should be addressed first
  • Which engagement best fits your environment and trigger
When this matters

Common reasons teams validate internal controls.

This outcome is usually relevant when the environment has changed, internal risk has become harder to see, or leadership needs evidence that controls work beyond policy and configuration.

  • Internal network or segmentation has changed
  • Cloud or hybrid environment has expanded
  • Microsoft 365 has become a bigger part of your risk surface
  • Concerns about lateral movement or privilege escalation
  • Code or application logic needs security review before release
  • OT, ICS, or production environments are becoming more connected
  • An audit, customer, insurer, or leadership team needs evidence
