A Security Researcher’s Perspective

Why We Do What We Do

If this is your first time here, welcome. I’m Jacob Hazak, founder of Zero-Defense Labs and a Head of Cyber Security in my current role.

Over the last decade, I’ve competed in top-tier CTFs, worked with leading cybersecurity firms, and helped organizations, from startups to enterprises, to secure what matters most.

Today’s threats are evolving faster than most organizations can keep up. Attacks are more creative, persistent, and damaging. When Penetration testing is done right, it is not just a compliance checkbox but a required layer of defense.

Unlike automated scanners, expert-led pentesting simulates real-world attacks. We think like adversaries to uncover what they’d find before they do.

Compliance, Yes! But Also Readiness

Every environment is different. That’s why our work isn’t about scripts or checklists. We analyze, exploit, and adapt like a real attacker. This approach reveals vulnerabilities others might miss and offers insight into how those weaknesses could be weaponized.

Not every vulnerability is critical. One of the key values we provide is helping you prioritize. A long list of issues can overwhelm you. We show you which ones truly matter and why. Our reports are designed for action, not just awareness.

Many industries require regular testing, whether SOC2, PCI DSS, or GDPR. But beyond checking the regulatory box, pentesting strengthens your incident response. Simulated attacks measure how well your team can detect, respond, and recover.

Why Security Is Not a One-Time Project

Security isn’t something you set up once and forget. It’s a continuous process because threats constantly shift, and new vulnerabilities can appear anytime.

That’s why treating security as a one-time checkbox is a risky mindset. Regular assessments, audits, and penetration testing are essential to adapt to these changes. They help identify weaknesses before attackers do, validate your defenses under real-world conditions, and ensure that security keeps pace with your business and technology.
