ForteStrike — offense
A passing scan says a control is configured. It does not say it holds. ForteStrike runs the attack path against the systems you own and reports the real result — then retests, so a fix only counts when the attack no longer works.
The engagement, end to end
1 · Authorize
Nothing runs until a scope policy is loaded. Scope is a fail-safe deny allow-list — anything not listed is blocked and logged. Every action appends to a signed audit trail. You cannot test what you never authorized.
2 · Recon
A threaded sweep plus an ARP pass finds the hosts your inventory forgot — including ones that are up but expose no open port. Discovered hosts feed the scope directly, no typing.
3 · Scan
Per host: nmap version detection over a WinRM/RDP/SMB/RPC port superset, CVE-enriched from vulners. Every open port gets a name and a CVE, with public-exploit availability flagged.
4 · Validate
Metasploit's non-destructive check per finding — never a fired payload. A confirmed-vulnerable result elevates the finding to critical and captures the raw check output as evidence. Don't take our word for it; we attack it.
5 · Lock down
A reversible host-firewall lockdown of each confirmed-exploitable service, scoped and audited, with undo. Then a re-scan proves the port is closed.
6 · Retest & report
Re-run the same engagement after a fix and the report shows Changes Since Last Engagement — new, fixed, persisting. Fixed on paper, or closed to an attacker? The retest is the difference, and the report writes itself every scan.
Need that exposure held shut between engagements? ForteLock → is the continuous active-protect guard: it adopts your approved ports as an allowlist and reversibly contains anything new that appears.
Prove your remediation to an attacker — and to your assessor.
ForteStrike is open to Early Adopters now. Run an authorized engagement against your own fleet, get the formed report every scan, and keep new exposure contained with ForteLock.
