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 continuous breach and attack simulation to 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.
Breach & Attack SimulationContinuous scanning and prioritised remediation. 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.
Continuous Vulnerability ScanningSecurity 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. The platforms live at their own domains; we link out, not in.
BreachForge is the breach and attack simulation platform we built in-house and now use on client engagements. It's our reference standard for BAS, and it's live at breachforge.co.uk.
Our breach and attack simulation platform, and a CyberSpartans product. Ten scenarios mapped to MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise and 154 atomic techniques, covering the full chain from initial access to command and control. It is the standard we hold commercial BAS tools to.
Now live at breachforge.co.uk, behind a secure login. For access, contact info@cyberspartans.co.uk.
