Wolfe Defense Labs was created around a simple observation: most security advice still talks as if all the important things live inside a neat little network. But real attacks target identities, SaaS, cloud tenants, and the messy places where business and technology meet.
We wanted a place where research, engineering, and program design could live together — and where the output wasn’t just reports, but durable changes in how organizations are defended.
Before Wolfe Defense Labs, our work lived inside incident response teams, consulting shops, and internal security programs. We kept seeing the same pattern: modern attacks, but old-school expectations about how security should work.
Every firm talks about “partnership.” These are the specific beliefs that guide our work and the kinds of engagements we say yes to.
We care deeply about attacker tradecraft because it tells us what matters — but the metric we optimize for is how much better your defenders, systems, and programs get over time.
Cloud tenants, SaaS, identity providers, and hybrid connectivity changed what “inside” and “outside” even mean. Our work starts from that reality, not a diagram from 2008.
We don’t assume infinite headcount, budget, or tooling. The best design is the one your team can actually run, maintain, and improve over years — not weeks.
Whether you start with a focused assessment, a lab-driven simulation, or program-level advisory work, the path is intentionally similar: understand reality, design changes that fit, then help you make those changes stick.
We map how your organization really works: identities, tenants, critical workflows, and the systems that keep the lights on — not just what a diagram says.
We connect what we see in Labs — attack paths, detection ideas, design patterns — to where they matter in your environment.
We prefer long-term relationships where we can see changes land, adjust to new information, and keep your environment and program moving forward.
