Private equity (PE) firms are no longer treating cybersecurity as a back-office issue. As cyber threats escalate in frequency and sophistication, investors are bringing cyber risk front and center in deal sourcing, diligence, and portfolio management. For companies seeking PE investment, the message is clear: you need to operate at a higher level of cyber maturity — and that means more than compliance checklists. It means real, ongoing testing, transparency, and resilience.

If your business is trying to land enterprise clients—especially in industries like finance, healthcare, tech, or energy—you’ve probably already heard the phrase: “Send us your SOC 2.” And if you haven’t, you will.

At Mile High Cyber, we pride ourselves on providing expert cybersecurity solutions that are tailored to the unique needs of each client. Our ideal customer is one that values the importance of proactive cybersecurity and understands the necessity of securing their critical business assets. Here’s a deeper look into who we like to work with…

Penetration testing—also known as ethical hacking—can sound intimidating, especially if you've never had one done before. At Mile High Cyber, we’ve heard all the fears and misconceptions. And the truth is, most of them come from a place of uncertainty.

Let’s set the record straight by tackling five of the most common myths about pen testing—and why they couldn’t be further from the truth.

When it comes to cybersecurity, not all data, systems, or processes are created equal. For every organization — whether a bustling enterprise, a small business, or a mission-driven nonprofit — there are certain assets so vital that their compromise could spell disaster. We call these the “crown jewels”: the core elements that generate revenue, enable service delivery, and sustain trust.

In the world of cloud security, one small setting can open the door to major breaches. One such setting in Microsoft 365—User Consent for Applications—has become a growing target for cybercriminals looking to exploit businesses through social engineering and OAuth abuse.

At Mile High Cyber, one of the most common questions we hear from clients is: “What happens after we fix everything from our penetration test?” It’s a fair question — after all, if you've remediated every vulnerability identified during a security assessment, shouldn't your systems now be secure?

The short answer: you’re safer, but you're not done.

At Mile High Cyber, we believe there’s no shortcut to uncovering the risks that truly matter. That’s why we deliver manual, human-directed network and web application penetration testing that consistently outperforms automated tools—especially for organizations with limited IT security budgets.

DMARC, DKIM, and SPF are email security tools that work together to protect you from phishing by verifying that emails are legitimate and not from imposters. Here’s how they work in simple terms…

At Mile High Cyber, we often encounter the question: Are Mac (Apple) computers inherently more secure than Windows PCs? This topic has been debated for years, and recent developments, such as Apple’s emergency patches for two zero-day vulnerabilities exploited in targeted iPhone attacks, add new dimensions to the discussion. 

Discover why penetration testing is no longer optional—new regulations are requiring proactive 3rd party security testing.
