ADVANCED CAPABILITIES GROUP

Unconventional Security Capabilities

Operational during 2016-2021.

Who We Were

We were a team of security professionals committed to the creation of unconventional security capabilities. We worked behind the scenes since late 2016, as an offshoot of the Digital Ops Group*, helping to develop the critical skills and tools needed to disrupt the asymmetric world of security.

Our collection of services and customized solutions included:

Digital special reconnaissance and disruption operations
Offensive digital operations
Reduced or no signature security operations (digital and physical)
Worst-case-scenario digital security assessments
Physical security assessments
Digital footprint analysis and mitigation
Personal security training and evaluation
Combined physical and digital security training
Security programs design
Security tools development

Past Projects

We were tasked by different organizations to perform a variety of activities. The length of the engagements ranged from short term (usually 3-4 weeks engagements) to long term and more complex ones (usually between 6 and 12 months). The average project usually lasted around 4 months.

Here are a few examples:

Advanced physical reconnaissance in Africa and Asia for an NGO
Worst-case-scenario tabletops and actual simmulations for a large NYC finantial organization
