That is our promise. ## **Our Mission** We protect critical enterprises and institutions by attacking them like real adversaries – and empowering their teams to defend themselves. Through Intelligence-led red teaming, specialized penetration testing and OffSec training, we make vulnerabilities visible, measurable and fixable. ## Our Values **1. Radikale Transparenz** — We tell clients what we found, not what they want to hear. Reports show real risk, not inflated CVSS scores. **2. Knowledge Transfer**— Knowledge is our product as much as findings. We train, teach, and transfer — every engagement leaves the client's team stronger. **3. Strukturierter Pioniergeist** — We push the boundary of what's technically possible, but we ship it with enterprise rigor. Bleeding edge in the lab, bulletproof in delivery. **4. Team-Kultur als Schutzschild** — Our people come first because their excellence is our product. We fail openly, learn fast, and grow together. #### **Teamwork & Open-Mindedness** Cybersecurity is a fast-evolving field, and **no single person has all the answers**. We foster a **collaborative, open-minded environment**, where our experts share knowledge, challenge assumptions, and continuously **improve through teamwork**. The best security solutions arise when diverse ideas and expertise come together. #### **Positive Error Culture & Continuous Learning** Mistakes are an inevitable part of **cutting-edge offensive security**. Instead of fearing failure, we embrace a **positive error culture**, using mistakes as opportunities to **learn, refine our methods, and strengthen our expertise**. This mindset allows us to stay ahead of adversaries and continuously improve our **tactics, techniques, and tooling**. #### **Short Communication Paths & Open, Honest Communication** Security assessments require **agility, precision, and clarity**. We believe in **direct, transparent communication**, both within our team and with our clients. Short decision-making processes and open discussions ensure that findings are addressed quickly and efficiently, without unnecessary bureaucracy. #### **Quality Work & Clear, Actionable Reports** A penetration test is only as good as the insights it provides. We pride ourselves on **high-quality assessments** that go beyond just finding vulnerabilities – we deliver **detailed, actionable reports** that help organizations truly **understand, prioritize, and remediate security risks**. #### **Efficiency Without Compromising Depth** Time is critical in cybersecurity. We combine **deep technical expertise with a pragmatic approach**, ensuring that every test we conduct delivers **maximum impact** without unnecessary overhead. Our goal is not just to find vulnerabilities, but to **deliver real-world security improvements** in the most effective way possible. ### **Why This Matters in Penetration Testing** As a **penetration testing and Red Teaming company**, our values shape everything we do – from **how we conduct engagements** to **how we interact with clients**. Cybersecurity is not just about tools and exploits; it’s about **trust, collaboration, and a relentless pursuit of excellence**. By upholding these principles, we ensure that our clients receive the **highest quality security assessments** and **actionable insights** to strengthen their defenses.   **Want to work with a team that values quality, efficiency, and open collaboration?** **Get in touch with us today!** ## Our Team #### **Meet the Core Team Behind Our Mastery** ![Ahmed](https://blog.xplt.com/hubfs/team/2575-1-2.jpg) Ahmed ![Alexander](https://blog.xplt.com/hubfs/team/2575-4-2.jpg) Alexander ![Alexandra](https://blog.xplt.com/hubfs/team/2575-3-2.jpg) Alexandra ![Arshad](https://blog.xplt.com/hubfs/team/Karikatur_Arshad.png.avif) Arshad ![Karikatur_Aytac.png-2](https://blog.xplt.com/hubfs/team/Karikatur_Aytac.png-2.avif) Aytaç Özbas ![Jakob](https://blog.xplt.com/hubfs/team/2575-2-2.jpg) Jakob ![johannes_schoenborn_bw.png-2-2](https://blog.xplt.com/hubfs/team/johannes_schoenborn_bw.png-2-2.avif) Johannes Schönborn Managing Director ![Karikatur_Maja-2](https://blog.xplt.com/hubfs/team/Karikatur_Maja-2.avif) Maja Schönborn Authorized Signatory ![unknown-2](https://blog.xplt.com/hubfs/team/unknown-2.avif) Ron Yeatman Board Member [![Horizontal3](https://blog.xplt.com/hubfs/Horizontal3.svg)](https://blog.xplt.com/en/home?hsLang=en) | Penetration Testing | Red Teaming | Training & Events | | --- | --- | --- | | - [OWASP and beyond: Our Methodology](https://www.xplt.com/en/penetration-testing-red-teaming) - [Network & Infrastructure Pentesting](https://www.xplt.com/en/network-pentest) - [Web Application Penetration Test](https://www.xplt.com/en/web-app-pentest) - [Active Directory & ADFS Assessment](https://www.xplt.com/en/active-directory-pentest) - [Cloud Security Pentests & Assessment](https://www.xplt.com/en/cloud-redteam) - [Mobile App Penetration Testing](https://www.xplt.com/en/mobile-app-pentest) - [SAP Penetration Testing](https://www.xplt.com/en/sap-penetration-testing) - [Blockchain Penetration Testing](https://www.xplt.com/en/blockchain-penetration-testing) - [AI / ML / LLM Penetration Testing](https://www.xplt.com/en/ai-llm-penetration-testing) - [Pentest as a Service (PTaaS)](https://www.xplt.com/en/pentestasaserviceptaas) - [Pentest Retainer](https://www.xplt.com/en/pentest-retainer) | - [A holistic approach](https://www.xplt.com/en/tiber-and-dora-red-teaming) - [Adversary Simulation & Emulation](https://www.xplt.com/en/adversary-emulation-and-simulation) - [Social Engineering](https://www.xplt.com/en/social-engineering) - [Physical Intrusion](https://www.xplt.com/en/physical-red-teaming) - [Purple Team Exercises](https://www.xplt.com/en/purple-teaming) - [TIBER / DORA TLPT Testing](https://www.xplt.com/en/tiber-threat-intelligence-based-red-teaming) - [Continuous Cloud Red Teaming](https://www.xplt.com/en/cloud-redteam) - [Red Team as a Service](https://www.xplt.com/en/tiber-threat-intelligence-based-red-teaming) - [Red Team Retainer](https://www.xplt.com/en/tiber-threat-intelligence-based-red-teaming) | - [Upcoming Courses](https://www.xplt.com/en/offsec) - [Continuous Enterprise Learning](https://www.xplt.com/offsec-learn-enterprise-with-exploit-labs) - [OffSec Licenses](https://www.xplt.com/en/offsec) - [Red & Blue Team Alliance](https://www.xplt.com/red-blue-team-alliance) - [DragonDrop Mini-Trainings](https://www.xplt.com/dragondrop) - [Exploit Iceland](https://www.xplt.com/iceland) - [Exploit Dubai](https://www.xplt.com/dubai) |     ©2025 Exploit Labs GmbH.
