Tampa-based offensive security
Penetration Testing & Cybersecurity Services in Tampa, Florida
Vilkas Cybersecurity is a Tampa-based offensive security firm providing hands-on penetration testing across networks, applications, Active Directory, and cloud environments for organizations throughout Tampa Bay, Florida, and nationwide.
Based in Tampa Bay
Tampa-based offensive security expertise
Vilkas is a Tampa-based offensive security firm working with organizations throughout Florida and across the United States. Our location gives Tampa Bay organizations access to a local penetration testing team, while our work regularly spans distributed networks, cloud environments, applications, and infrastructure across the country.
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 chained together to gain additional access or demonstrate greater impact, our testing is designed to find 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. Learn more about our team, approach, and experience on About Vilkas.
What we test
Penetration testing and security services
The same offensive security services we deliver nationwide are available to organizations in Tampa and across Florida.
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.

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.
Local roots
