Wolfe Defense Labs is the research and experimentation engine behind our solutions and services. We study real attack paths, test defensive designs, and turn what we learn into practical guidance, playbooks, and program changes for our clients.
Each Lab has its own focus, but they all share the same goal: produce signal defenders can use now, and architectural patterns that last.
The Lab exists so we can explore ideas, test assumptions, and run scenarios in controlled environments — then bring those lessons into client work with confidence.
Each Lab focuses on a specific angle of modern security. Together, they give us a full loop: from attacker behavior, to detection and tooling, to program design and exercises.
Short, focused insights from client work, incidents, and experiments that show what’s really happening in environments like yours.

Turning raw logs into useful signals, and designing detection workflows that fit your staffing, tooling, and response processes.

Internal tools, repeatable experiment setups, and adversary simulations that validate architectures and prepare teams.

Lab work isn’t a separate “R&D island.” It feeds directly into assessments, solutions, and advisory work — and client reality, in turn, feeds back into what the Lab studies next.
We study attack paths, controls, and platform behavior in controlled environments and through anonymized patterns seen across clients.
Findings are distilled into research notes, guides, checklists, and playbook patterns that can be tailored to specific environments.
We work with clients to apply Lab-derived patterns, then feed back what works, what didn’t, and what needs more research.
“Lab” is a popular word. For us, it means a place where we’re allowed to be wrong, refine our thinking, and ship only the pieces that hold up against real-world constraints.
