About Black Hills Information Security
Black Hills Information Security provides penetration testing, consulting, and defensive security services. It serves organisations from community banks to Fortune 100 companies. The company also offers incident response, a security operations centre service, and governance, risk and compliance support. It has been operating since 2008. The company says its testing is cooperative rather than adversarial. Its consultants aim to work with clients to develop security solutions. Its GRC practice uses an attacker-informed perspective, with recommendations tested against real attacks. It also runs training through Antisyphon Training and hosts the Wild West Hackin' Fest conference.
