Avalanche Protocol DDoS Simulation
Compliance Suite Compliance Automation
Each service is modular and customizable.
Does Proxima Security only work with large enterprises?
General
No Proxima Security supports:
startups
scale ups
SMEs
established companies
Thanks to the Genesis Line startups can access advanced security services progressively.
Are your services safe for production environments?
General
Yes all activities are carried out within defined and controlled boundaries using mirrored environments or simulations to minimize operational impact.
How do you start working with Proxima Security?
General
The onboarding process is simple:
Initial asset analysis
Scope definition
Activation of the most suitable service
The Proxima Security team guides you through each step of the process.
Does Proxima Security provide ongoing support?
General

direct support
live chat with experts
actionable recommendations
Our goal is not just to identify issues, but to help resolve them.
Which industries do you work with?
General
Proxima Security works with organizations across various sectors, including:
technology and SaaS
finance and fintech
healthcare
digital infrastructure
regulated services
But we’re not limited to these industries.
Does Proxima Security replace traditional security tools?
General
No. Proxima Security does not replace firewalls, WAFs, or active protection tools.
Our services are designed to test, validate, and improve the effectiveness of your existing defenses through realistic simulations and analysis.
How customizable are Proxima Security's services?
General
Every service is fully customizable based on your:
infrastructure
maturity level
security goals
regulatory requirements
We don’t use standardized or one-size-fits-all approaches.
Are the tests performed once or continuously?
General
It depends on the client’s needs.
Our services can be delivered as:
one-time tests
recurring activities
continuous programs
This allows for ongoing monitoring of your evolving security posture.
Does Proxima Security operate internationally?
General
Yes. Proxima Security supports organizations operating in multiple countries, adapting services and frameworks to local regulatory and operational contexts.
How is sensitive data and information handled?
General
All data is stored using AES-256 encryption, ensuring maximum security and compliance with industry standards.
What type of report is included?
Avalanche
After each DDoS simulation, you receive a comprehensive technical and executive report.
The report includes:
attack vectors and traffic patterns used
infrastructure behavior under stress
identified breaking points and bottlenecks
impact on availability, latency, and services
clear remediation and hardening recommendations
Is the DDoS simulation safe for our systems?
Avalanche
Yes, Avalanche Protocol is fully safe, the simulation are been made in our Virtual Lab where we create a Twin 1:1
What is a Twin 1:1 environment?
Avalanche
A Twin 1:1 environment is a mirrored version of your production infrastructure.
Which layers can be tested?
Avalanche
Avalanche Protocol supports multi-layer DDoS simulations (Layer 3 to 7)
Is there an emergency stop or switch off mechanism?
Avalanche
Yes, An immediate switch-off mechanism is always in place.
Will this affect our production environment?
Avalanche
No. By default, simulations are executed on a Twin 1:1 environment or within strictly controlled production-safe limits, defined and approved in advance.
No test is launched without explicit validation of scope and thresholds.
How long does a DDoS simulation last?
Avalanche
Simulation duration depends on scope and objectives.
Do you simulate real world attack behavior?
Avalanche
Yes. Avalanche Protocol uses real-world attack patterns, including:
adaptive traffic behavior
multi-vector campaigns
shifting attack intensity
This ensures results reflect how modern attackers actually operate.
Can the simulation be customized to our infrastructure?
Avalanche
Absolutely. Each test is tailored to your architecture.
Do you provide remediation guidance after the test?
Avalanche
Yes. Every simulation includes expert-driven remediation recommendations.
Does this replace DDoS protection services?
Avalanche
No. Avalanche Protocol is not a mitigation service.
It is a simulation and resilience testing engine, designed to validate how your existing defenses perform under pressure.
How is Neural Pentest different from traditional penetration testing?
Neural Pentest
Traditional penetration testing is usually manual, time-limited, slow, and static.
Neural Pentest, on the other hand, is:
AI-driven
Adaptive and continuous
Capable of testing multiple attack paths simultaneously
This allows vulnerabilities to be identified faster and more comprehensively.
Is Neural Pentest safe for production environments?
Neural Pentest
Yes. Neural Pentest is completely safe for production environments.
Which assets can be tested?
Neural Pentest
Neural Pentest supports a wide range of assets — we currently cover 12 types of assets. (See More)
How quickly do we receive results?
Neural Pentest
The Dynamic Report is available within 12 hours after the test begins.
What type of report will you receive?
Neural Pentest
You will receive two types of reports: a Dynamic Report and an Executive Report.
What is a Dynamic Report?
Neural Pentest
The Dynamic Report allows you to review initial findings and begin remediation immediately, if needed.
Are both Dynamic and Executive Reports included in the price?
Neural Pentest
Absolutely. Both reports are included in all Neural Pentest plans, including the Standard plan.
Do you provide remediation guidance?
Neural Pentest
Yes. Neural Pentest always includes clear and actionable remediation recommendations.
Does Neural Pentest include zero day discovery?
Neural Pentest
Neural Pentest is capable of identifying previously unknown or unconventional attack paths, including behaviors that resemble zero-day exploitation scenarios.
Can Neural Pentest run continuously?
Neural Pentest
Yes. Neural Pentest can be delivered as:
a one-time assessment
a recurring test
or a continuous security program
This enables organizations to track improvements and detect new risks over time.
Is Neural Pentest suitable for startups?
Neural Pentest
Absolutely. Neural Pentest is designed to be scalable and accessible for startups as well.
Is there live support available?
Neural Pentest
The test is performed in our Virtual Lab (Matrix) within the Genesis Hub platform.
Where is the test executed?
Neural Pentest
The test is performed in our Virtual Lab (Matrix) within the Genesis Hub platform.
