OFEP View OFEP
OFEP is a Brussels‑based cybersecurity company providing comprehensive protection across infrastructure, applications, cloud and human security. Their services include cybersecurity audits, penetration testing, incident response, phishing simulation, security awareness, source‑code review, DevSecOps methodology and privileged access management. They help organizations meet compliance requirements such as NIS2, ISO 27001 and sector‑specific regulations while improving overall resilience. Penetration testing is one of OFEP’s core strengths. They offer several pentest methodologies to address different threat perspectives. Black‑box pentesting simulates an external attacker with no prior knowledge of the systems. This method realistically shows what an outsider could exploit but may leave non‑public network zones untested. White‑box pentesting provides the testers with full or partial internal documentation, architecture details and configurations, allowing them to identify deeper systemic weaknesses and focus on high‑risk components. OFEP recommends a hybrid pentesting approach that combines both methods to balance realism and thoroughness. OFEP also delivers extensive Web Application Vulnerability Assessments where they test websites and web applications following the OWASP Top 10, including SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, framework‑specific vulnerabilities and configuration weaknesses across all layers, from operating system to database. Their dedicated web application penetration testing offering goes further with deep manual testing to uncover exploitable flaws, helping organizations avoid data breaches, operational disruption, financial penalties, reputation damage and regulatory non‑compliance. Infrastructure pentesting covers networks, servers, firewalls, VPNs, wireless systems, cloud platforms, virtualized environments, containers and edge computing environments, ensuring full‑stack evaluation against real‑world attack techniques. Beyond traditional IT, OFEP’s methodologies naturally extend to OT environments, Active Directory ecosystems and IoT deployments. Their infrastructure‑level testing principles apply to OT networks by examining segmentation quality, access control, protocol exposure, remote access paths and configuration weaknesses. Active Directory, a frequent target in real attacks, fits within OFEP’s threat‑oriented methodology where privilege escalation, authentication weaknesses, misconfigurations and lateral movement paths are evaluated using attacker‑style techniques. IoT devices and connected components also align with their vulnerability assessment approach, focusing on insecure firmware, exposed services, weak configurations, default credentials and integration risks within broader network infrastructures. OFEP is a strong cybersecurity partner because of their broad and mature service portfolio, covering both technical testing and strategic consulting. They combine audits, pentests, incident response, source‑code review, GRC, cloud security and privileged access management into an integrated offering. Their teams follow structured methodologies, use realistic threat modeling and rely on expert ethical hackers who understand modern attack patterns. Their hybrid pentesting approach shows a pragmatic balance between real‑world attacker simulation and deep targeted analysis. OFEP’s clear, actionable reporting enables organizations to prioritize vulnerabilities and strengthen security posture efficiently. Being based in Belgium, OFEP also brings strong knowledge of local regulatory requirements, European security frameworks and sector‑specific expectations, making them a trusted technology and cybersecurity partner.
