Overview

About Hexlabz

Hexlabz is a white-hat cybersecurity company with a laser focus on penetration testing and advanced security engineering across web applications, mobile apps, cloud networks, external networks, APIs, and IoT devices.

We're creative problem solvers who work relentlessly to find gaps in your security before bad actors do. From small startups to large enterprises, Hexlabz helps organizations build stronger defenses against modern cyber threats.

We also design next-generation decentralized security technologies, including Meshzone™ and the MeshComm© secure communications protocol, built to operate reliably in real-world conditions where centralized infrastructure can't be trusted or isn't available.

Methodology

Our Approach

Offensive security mindset, measurable outcomes, and security that holds up under real adversary pressure.

Offensive Mindset

We emulate real attacker behavior to uncover exploit paths, privilege escalation opportunities, and weak controls before they're weaponized.

Result-Oriented

Clear findings, exploit proof-of-concepts, prioritized remediation, and re-test validation—so fixes stick.

Defense in Depth

We evaluate identity, network segmentation, app security, monitoring, and incident readiness as a single security system.

Human Risk Focus

People are often the weakest link. We assess social engineering exposure and train teams to resist manipulation.

Capabilities

Cybersecurity Services & Assessment

What We Test

Hexlabz focuses on penetration testing for:

Web Applications & Portals
Mobile Applications
Cloud Networks & Hybrid Environments
External Networks (Perimeter Testing)
Internal Networks (Lateral Movement & Privilege Escalation)
APIs & Microservices
IoT / Embedded Devices

Assessment Methodology

Scope & Objectives: define assets, rules of engagement, and success criteria.
Recon & Threat Modeling: map attack surface and realistic threat paths.
Exploitation & Validation: confirm impact using safe proof-of-concept methods.
Remediation Guidance: prioritize fixes based on risk, exploitability, and business impact.
Re-Test: verify that fixes resolve the issue and no new gaps were introduced.

Research & Development

Meshzone™ & MeshComm©

Decentralized communications and security technology designed for real-world constraints.

Meshzone™

Meshzone™ is a decentralized mesh ecosystem built to maintain communications when traditional infrastructure fails. It supports peer-to-peer coordination, resilient routing, and field-ready networking for users and devices in constrained or denied environments.

MeshComm©

MeshComm© is a secure peer-to-peer protocol enabling encrypted messaging and data exchange across the mesh. The goal is infrastructure independence with strong confidentiality, integrity, and operational resilience.

Human Layer

Security Awareness & Defense

Reduce the number one breach entry point: human manipulation.

Social Engineering Programs

Threataware is the world's first and largest New-school Security Awareness Training and simulated phishing platform that helps you manage the ongoing problem of social engineering.

We also provide powerful add-on products like X-phish and SocialDeny to prevent bad actors from getting into your networks, along with popular compliance training that helps reduce organizational risk while saving budget.

Training + Controls That Stick

We combine security awareness training with practical controls—phishing simulations, reporting workflows, inbox triage, and measurable improvement tracking. The result: fewer successful attacks and stronger operational security.
