A Cyber Security Firm

Expose. Exploit. Defend.

Nexus Glow tests networks, applications, cloud environments, the AI systems you're building on, and the people behind them the way a real adversary would, then hands you a prioritized plan for closing what we find.

About Nexus Glow

Built around one question: where would an attacker actually get in?

Modern businesses run on stacked systems: software sitting on infrastructure, infrastructure sitting on a network, all of it wrapped in cloud, with AI models and agents now embedded throughout. A single weak layer can expose everything above and below it. We map that stack for a living: identifying, prioritizing, and helping you close the gaps in software, infrastructure, cloud, and AI before they're used against you.

As companies move faster to adopt LLMs, copilots, and autonomous agents, they're opening up a genuinely new attack surface: prompt injection, insecure tool access, data leakage through model outputs, and manipulation of the training or retrieval pipeline. We test AI systems with the same hands-on, adversarial approach we bring to every other layer, rather than treating "AI risk" as a checkbox.

We stay current with the tools and attack techniques adversaries are actually using, so the risk assessment we hand you reflects today's threat landscape, not last year's.

Penetration Testing

Hands-on testing, not just automated scan output.

We take on the role of a real attacker targeting your most valuable and most exposed endpoints, including manual business-logic testing that scanners consistently miss.

Application layer

Web Application

Full assessment of your web app's authentication, session handling, and business logic against OWASP-class attack techniques.

Application layer

Mobile Application

iOS and Android apps tested for insecure storage, weak API calls, and reverse-engineering exposure.

Application layer

Thick-Client

Desktop and installed applications assessed for local storage, memory handling, and client-side bypass risks.

Network layer

Network

Internal and external network testing to find lateral-movement paths and misconfigured services before an attacker does.

Infrastructure layer

Cloud

AWS, Azure, and GCP environments reviewed for identity misconfiguration, exposed storage, and privilege-escalation paths.

Infrastructure layer

System-Level

Host and server-level testing covering patch state, hardening gaps, and privilege escalation on-premise or in the cloud.

Device layer

IoT / IIoT / Embedded

Connected and industrial devices tested at the firmware, protocol, and hardware-interface level.

AI / LLM layer

AI Pentesting

AI-powered applications, LLM integrations, and autonomous agents tested for prompt injection, jailbreak resistance, insecure tool access, training-data leakage, and model extraction risk.

Application Security

Security is cheaper when it starts at the architecture stage.

We work at every stage of your development lifecycle, from the first system diagram to what ships in production.

01

Architecture Review

Backends, APIs, and microservices examined for structural gaps before they're built on further.

02

Threat Modelling

System diagrams and hypothetical attack scenarios used to define the controls your design actually needs.

03

Code Review

Manual review paired with automated (SAST) scanning to catch insecure patterns and hidden backdoors.

04

Security & Penetration Testing

Vulnerability assessment, DAST, and hands-on testing before release, with clear remediation guidance.

05

Secure SDLC

Security woven into your existing development process, from developer training to post-deployment monitoring.

Compliance Services

Audit-ready for every framework your contracts and regulators require.

From retail and banking to federal agencies, our clients answer to different regulators, sometimes more than one at once. We map commercial frameworks like SOC 2 and PCI-DSS alongside federal ones like FedRAMP and RMF, so a control you put in place once counts everywhere it applies, with evidence and documentation built to hold up under a real audit.

Commercial

SOC 2

Type I and Type II readiness and audit support, from control mapping to the report your customers actually ask for.

Commercial

PCI-DSS

Cardholder data environment scoping and compliance for retailers and financial platforms handling payment data.

Commercial

HIPAA

Safeguard assessments and remediation for organizations handling protected health information.

Commercial

ISO 27001

ISMS gap assessment and certification support aligned to the ISO 27001:2022 control set.

Commercial

NIST CSF

Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 assessments that translate directly into a prioritized improvement plan.

Federal

FedRAMP & RMF

Authorization support for cloud offerings and federal systems, from categorization through continuous monitoring.

Beyond the Standard Test

Assessments built for the risks a scanner can't see.

Forensics

Compromise Assessment

A structured forensic look at endpoints, servers, and infrastructure to surface indicators of compromise, so you know whether you've already been breached, not just whether you're exposed.

Coverage

Full-Stack Security

Infrastructure, web servers, and every open-source dependency your app relies on, tested together, because one weak library can take down an otherwise hardened stack.

Program

Risk Advisory

We work alongside your security and IT team to build a cybersecurity program sized to your actual risk.

People

Security Training

In-house teams trained to build and ship code against real industry standards.

Simulation

Red Teaming

A coordinated, real-world attack simulation across your people, processes, and technology, evaluated together the way an actual incident would test them.

Human layer

Social Engineering

Firewalls don't stop a convincing phone call. We test how your employees actually respond to manipulation attempts.

Offensive & defensive

Reverse Engineering

We decompile applications to uncover malicious code or payloads, and determine whether an app is exploitable even without access to its source.
