Exploit Forge
We find vulnerabilities, before attackers do.
Exploit-Forge Ltd is a Lagos-based, leading product-driven offensive security company dedicated to helping organisations find vulnerabilities before attackers do. We specialise in modern application architectures, including web, API, mobile, cloud and AI/ML systems and deliver high-impact services and tooling to strengthen your security posture.
What We Do
At Exploit-Forge, we combine deep manual offensive security expertise with scalable tooling to deliver real world impact:
-
Penetration Testing (VAPT) & Adversary Simulation – manual and automated tests that mimic real attackers across your web apps, APIs, mobile, networks and cloud.
-
Red Team Operations & Attack-Path Mapping – goal-based breach simulations including social engineering and detection/response testing.
-
Secure Code Review & SDLC Uplift – source-code analysis, SAST / SCA integration, developer training and fixes you can apply.
-
Vulnerability Management & Threat Modelling – continuous risk discovery, prioritisation, remediation and attack-surface mapping to reduce long-term exposure.
-
AI / ML Security & Emerging Threats – assessments tailored for machine learning systems, gen-AI models, prompt-injection and adversarial risks.
Why We’re Different
Developer-Empowered Security — We don’t just find issues; we deliver developer-friendly findings with clear reproduction steps, pull-request style fixes and actionable guidance.
Product-Plus-Service Model — In addition to services, we build and maintain security tooling and labs (e.g., purposely vulnerable platforms, JWT analyzers) that allow you to continually test and train your teams.
Global Credibility, Local Reach — Though headquartered in Lagos, we work with fintechs, e-commerce platforms, public-sector clients and global product companies. Our team holds vendor-agnostic credentials and has been recognised in Fortune 500 environments.
Focus on Outcomes, Not Just Reports — We prioritise actionable results: measurable remediation adoption, fast fix cycles and embedded partner-style engagement so security becomes part of your product roadmap — not just a checkbox.
