Offensive security across New York
Penetration Testing & Cybersecurity Services in New York
Vilkas Cybersecurity provides hands-on penetration testing across networks, applications, Active Directory, and cloud environments for organizations throughout New York State, with team presence in the Albany and Capital Region area.
Statewide coverage
Offensive security expertise across New York
Vilkas is headquartered in the Tampa Bay area and works with organizations across New York and the rest of the United States. Our team presence in the Albany and Capital Region area gives organizations a direct point of contact in the state without changing how assessments are scoped, tested, or reported.
New York environments are often spread across offices, data centers, cloud tenants, and third-party platforms. Our testers treat that as one attack surface: we manually follow paths through identity, remote access, applications, APIs, and cloud configuration instead of treating each location or tool as an isolated scan target.
The same operators who test healthcare, financial services, insurance, SaaS, and professional services environments nationwide perform this work. Learn more about the people behind the assessments on About Vilkas.
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 New York
We work with organizations across New York, including teams in Albany and the Capital Region as well as organizations in New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and other parts of the state. Most testing is performed remotely against the networks, applications, and cloud accounts in scope, and when an engagement needs on-site work we plan that around the environment and the access it requires.
A hospital system with clinics across Upstate New York, a financial or insurance firm running hybrid identity, and a SaaS company with production in the public cloud each need different testing priorities. We build the scope from those systems and the attack paths that matter to the engagement.

Industries
Experience across complex environments
Many New York organizations still run on-prem identity alongside cloud email, vendor portals, and remote workforce access. Our testing looks at whether an attacker can move from one of those edges into records, payments, or privileged accounts, and we document the paths that would matter in a real incident.
That experience covers healthcare, financial services, insurance, higher education, professional services, SaaS, and other organizations with connected infrastructure. We examine how Active Directory, cloud identity, applications, APIs, and third-party platforms connect, then write up the paths that should drive remediation.
How we work
Why organizations work with Vilkas
Our testers look at how weaknesses can be chained together, how far an attacker could move, and what the impact would be if those paths were used. Findings are written so your team can see the real-world risk and decide where remediation should start.
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.
New York team presence
Based in Florida, present in New York
Vilkas Cybersecurity & Risk LLC is headquartered in the Tampa Bay area. We also have team presence in Albany and New York's Capital Region, which gives organizations in the state a local contact for scoping conversations, scheduling, and ongoing project communication.
Assessments are still performed by the same senior testers, using the same methodology and reporting format we use nationwide.
