CYBER SPARTANS
CYBER SPARTANS
CyberSpartans is the consultancy practice of Saleem Yousaf. We help organisations test their defences, fix what matters, and run secure, cost-aware cloud. Practical work, measurable outcomes, no jargon.
CyberSpartans is led by Saleem Yousaf, a security and cloud architect with two decades defending UK enterprises, financial services, and critical national infrastructure. The approach is simple: understand the environment, test it honestly, and leave it measurably stronger than we found it.
From the boardroom question of "are we actually secure" to the engineering detail of fixing it, we cover the full picture.
Security architecture, cloud design, and assume-breach thinking applied to your real environment. Whether you are migrating, hardening, or starting fresh, we bring the architecture experience to do it properly.
Core PracticeWe deploy and run Cymulate to continuously test your controls against real attack techniques. You see what your defences catch, what they miss, and where to focus. Validation that runs all year, not once.
Powered by CymulateContinuous scanning and prioritised remediation through Intruder. We turn a noisy list of findings into a clear plan: what to fix, in what order, and why it matters for your specific exposure.
Powered by IntruderSecurity and architecture audits that tell you where you really stand, paired with FinOps work that brings cloud spend under control. Most engagements find savings that cover the cost of the work.
Assurance & CostWhen you are choosing a breach and attack simulation platform or a threat intelligence feed, it helps to know what good looks like. So we built both.
Our reference breach and attack simulation platform. Ten scenarios mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, built to show exactly what a good BAS tool should do. When we help you evaluate commercial platforms, BreachForge is the standard we hold them to.
Arriving in the coming months. Today it shapes how we advise on BAS selection and how we run validation engagements.
See the approach →A free threat intelligence portal built from open-source feeds: CISA KEV, MITRE ATT&CK, AlienVault OTX, and abuse.ch. Aggregated, mapped, and updated automatically. No login, no cost.
Use it today to keep an eye on what is being exploited in the wild and how it maps to your environment.
