Most security controls are configured but not validated. Security evaluations measure what your defenses actually do under attack—transforming assumptions into quantified risk reduction that drives business value.

Shifting Security to the Value Zone
Know your security !
Maximize Your Security Investment,
Reflect the Value
Are you confident your security controls are actually working?
Evaluating security controls through structured assessment provides:
- Visibility into which attacks your current controls can detect and prevent – See exactly what gets blocked vs. what gets through across attack vectors and request types
- Identifying missing detections and lack of coverage – Discover which attack patterns bypass your defenses and which entities remain unprotected
- Actionable strategies to maximize your current security level – Get specific tuning recommendations based on observed blocking behavior, not vendor claims
All of these are essential components of effective incident response readiness (IRR), forming the foundation of a solid response plan.
Hacktica evaluates:
Web Application Firewalls (WAF) – Request entity coverage, attack pattern detection, policy effectiveness
Bot Management – Business logic protection, bot classification accuracy, automated threat blocking
AI Security Controls – Guardrail effectiveness, prompt injection prevention, model output filtering
Security is a Business Enabler.
Security Defense Ownership
Security often falls into one of three problematic scenarios:
- Wasted security – Controls that don’t actually block the attacks you think they do
- Expensive security – Paying for protection you’re not getting
- Losing security – Incidents happen despite investment because controls are silently bypassed
The path forward lies in optimal security, where controls are measured, validated, and aligned with real attack patterns. This isn’t about spending more—it’s about knowing what you’re actually getting.
Security controls evaluations enable this shift by turning assumptions into measurable outcomes, reinforcing ownership, and driving value through clarity, validation, and actionable insights.
Security evaluations support optimal security through:
Ownership: Security teams take responsibility for measured outcomes – not checkbox compliance
Quantification: Defense effectiveness is measured by observed blocking behavior across real attack patterns
Validation: Control coverage is confirmed through testing, not configuration reviews
Awareness: Coverage gaps and control weaknesses are clearly identified with specific examples
Quality Detection: Detection capabilities are refined based on what actually gets blocked vs. missed
Meaningful Metrics: Attack surface reduction percentages and risk mitigation scores replace vanity metrics
