Florida-based offensive security
Penetration Testing & Cybersecurity Services in Florida
Vilkas Cybersecurity is a Florida-based offensive security firm providing hands-on penetration testing across networks, applications, Active Directory, and cloud environments for organizations throughout the state and nationwide.
Statewide expertise
Offensive security expertise across Florida
Vilkas is based in Tampa and works with organizations throughout Florida and across the United States. Our team supports assessments across distributed networks, cloud environments, applications, identity infrastructure, and other systems that often span multiple offices, data centers, and cloud platforms.
Our assessments go well beyond automated scanning and isolated vulnerability identification. We manually test environments from an attacker's perspective, developing and validating attack paths across Active Directory, internal networks, applications, APIs, and cloud infrastructure. Where weaknesses can be combined to gain additional access or demonstrate greater impact, our testing is designed to identify and validate those paths.
Our team has experience testing environments across healthcare, financial services, insurance, SaaS and technology, professional services, and other industries with complex infrastructure and security requirements. For organizations looking for a team based in the Tampa Bay area, learn more about our local presence on the Tampa penetration testing page.
What we test
Penetration testing and security services
Vilkas provides offensive security assessments across the environments organizations rely on every day, from traditional internal networks and Active Directory to modern applications, APIs, cloud platforms, and hybrid infrastructure.
Network Penetration Testing
Internal and external testing that follows realistic attack paths across on-prem and hybrid networks, rather than relying on scan output alone.
Web Application and API Penetration Testing
Manual review of web applications and APIs for authorization gaps, injection, and business-logic issues that automated tools tend to miss.
Active Directory Security Assessments
Identity-focused testing of privilege paths, misconfigurations, and domain compromise risk in Active Directory environments.
Cloud Penetration Testing
Hands-on assessment of AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud identity, exposure, and configuration risk in production-like conditions.
Red Team Assessments
Objective-based adversary simulation that tests detection and response, not just a list of isolated vulnerabilities.
Social Engineering
Phishing and human-focused testing that shows how access is gained outside the technical perimeter.

Across the state
Supporting organizations throughout Florida
Our work with Florida organizations is not limited to a single metro area. Vilkas supports clients across the state, including organizations in Tampa Bay, Central Florida, South Florida, Northeast Florida, and other regions where specialized offensive security expertise is needed.
Most assessments can be performed remotely, while engagements that require on-site testing or in-person components can be coordinated based on scope and location. Whether the environment is concentrated in one office or distributed across multiple locations and cloud platforms, the assessment is built around the systems, identities, and attack paths that matter to the engagement.
Vilkas is headquartered in the Tampa Bay area and works with organizations nationwide. Our Florida presence provides local accessibility without limiting the size, complexity, or geographic reach of the environments we can test.
Industries
Experience across complex environments
Security requirements vary considerably between industries, but the underlying challenge is often the same: understanding how weaknesses across identity, infrastructure, applications, and cloud services can be combined by an attacker. Our testing experience includes healthcare, financial services, insurance, SaaS and technology, professional services, and other organizations with complex or highly connected environments.
Rather than evaluating each technology in isolation, our team looks for relationships between systems and weaknesses that may create a larger attack path. That approach is especially important in hybrid environments where Active Directory, cloud identity, applications, APIs, remote access, and third-party platforms intersect.
How we work
Why organizations work with Vilkas
Penetration testing should show more than a list of individual vulnerabilities. Our testers look for ways weaknesses can be combined, determine how far an attacker could progress, and validate the impact of the attack paths we identify. The result is an assessment that shows not only what is vulnerable, but what can actually be done with it and where remediation should be prioritized.
Hands-on testers
Assessments are performed by experienced penetration testers who manually analyze and test the environment from an attacker's perspective, identifying weaknesses and developing attack paths that automated testing alone cannot uncover.
Attack chain development
We look beyond individual findings to identify how multiple weaknesses can be chained together. These attack paths demonstrate how an initial foothold or seemingly limited vulnerability can lead to sensitive systems, data, or privileged access.
Validated impact
We validate identified vulnerabilities wherever possible to determine their actual impact within the environment. Findings clearly document what was demonstrated during testing so security, infrastructure, and leadership teams can make informed remediation decisions.
Testing across complex environments
Our experience spans Active Directory, internal and external networks, web applications, APIs, cloud platforms, and hybrid environments. This allows our team to evaluate weaknesses across technology boundaries and identify attack paths that may not be apparent when each environment is assessed independently.
Clear reporting
Our reports clearly document each finding, its impact, supporting evidence, and actionable remediation guidance. Findings are prioritized based on the risk demonstrated during testing, giving security and IT teams a clear path from assessment results to remediation.
Assessments built around your environment
We work with organizations ranging from growing businesses to large enterprise environments. Each assessment is scoped around the organization's infrastructure, security objectives, and areas of greatest exposure so testing time is focused where it provides the most value.
What to expect
From scoping through final deliverables
Every engagement begins with understanding the environment, testing objectives, and systems that need to be included. Scope is based on the size and complexity of the environment rather than forcing every organization into the same assessment format.
During testing, our team documents the vulnerabilities, attack paths, evidence, and impact demonstrated throughout the engagement. Final deliverables are built to support remediation, internal communication, and follow-up validation rather than simply recording scanner output.
Florida roots
Based in Tampa Bay
Vilkas is based in the Tampa Bay area, where our team lives, works, and supports the local community. Our involvement includes sponsoring youth sports teams and supporting other programs that provide opportunities for kids and families throughout the area.
That local connection is part of a broader Florida presence that allows us to work closely with organizations across the state while continuing to support clients nationwide.
