DELHI, NEW DELHI, INDIA, August 26, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — OverWatch Labs, a boutique offensive-security firm, today announced its official launch. Founded by red team operator Abhimanyu Gupta, known in the security community as “HackerJedi,” the firm runs adversary simulations against production environments using the same tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) as the threat actors it’s hired to defend against.
OverWatch Labs is an operator-led team of red teamers and offensive security researchers who chain real exploits, from initial access through privilege escalation and lateral movement to crown-jewel assets, to show exactly how an intrusion would unfold inside a client’s environment. Engagements are built around demonstrated impact rather than vulnerability counts: every finding in a report is something the team actually exploited, not a CVSS score pulled from an automated scanner.
Six Engagement Types, One Attack Surface
OverWatch Labs runs six core engagement types: web application penetration testing (OWASP-aligned), full-scope red teaming across people, process and infrastructure, source-code auditing for logic flaws and insecure design that static analysis tools miss, internal and external network penetration testing, and AI red teaming, an emerging discipline focused on prompt injection, model manipulation, data exfiltration and other adversarial misuse of AI systems and agents. Every engagement is scoped against the client’s actual attack surface, not a generic checklist.
Direct Delivery and White-Label Delivery
The firm operates on two tracks: direct engagements with enterprises hardening their own stack, and white-label delivery for managed security service providers (MSSPs) and MSPs that want to offer red team and penetration testing services under their own brand without standing up an in-house offensive team. Both tracks run the same tradecraft and produce the same exploit-verified reporting; only the branding on the deliverable changes.
Closing the Gap Between Attack Surface and Response
The launch comes as attack surfaces expand faster than most security teams can monitor them and adversary tradecraft increasingly outpaces signature-based defenses. OverWatch Labs says its mission is to give organizations continuous, evidence-based visibility into exploitable risk, not a static point-in-time audit, so security teams can prioritize remediation by actual blast radius instead of chasing every CVE that crosses their feed.
About OverWatch Labs
OverWatch Labs is a boutique offensive-security agency built on a simple premise: to defend like a target, you first have to be attacked like one. The company is an operator-led team of red teamers and offensive researchers who simulate real adversaries against an organization’s people, applications and infrastructure, then hand over attacker-grade evidence of exactly how a breach would occur and what to fix first, using the same tradecraft as the threat actors targeting the client’s industry. OverWatch Labs works with enterprises securing their own stack as well as MSPs looking to resell offensive security services under their own brand. Learn more at overwatchlabs.ai.
Abhimanyu Gupta,
OverWatch Labs.
