Built by Operators. Not Consultants.
We simulate real adversaries and report to the executives who have to answer for them.

Leadership
Bailey Besheer
Managing Director, Cybersecurity Services
Former Marine cyber warfare operator and ranked top 25 globally on Hack The Box. Bailey built and leads Alacrinet's Offensive Intelligence Unit. He sets the methodology, scopes every engagement personally, and sits on every readout.
He operates at the intersection of offensive security, AI risk, and strategic threat mitigation. He helps organizations understand their real exposure, not just their compliance posture.
THE BAR STANDARD-OF-WORK“Most pentest reports tell you what is broken. Ours tell you what an attacker would do with it, what it would cost the business, and exactly what to fix first. That is the bar.”

Certified CISSP · IAT III · CSIS. Read Bailey's full bio →
Every call we make, how we hire, how we scope, how we deliver, answers one question: is the work real, and did the client get something worth what they paid? It is the firm I would have wanted to work for as an operator and the one I would have hired as a buyer.
File 02 · The Unit
REF · OIU-PROFILE-2025The Operators
Every engagement is staffed by senior operators with a decade or more of offensive security experience. The operator who starts your engagement is the operator who finishes it. No junior analysts. No rotating staff.
Backgrounds in military cyber, Fortune 500 red teams, and top-tier consulting. Active research in AI security, cloud exploitation, and adversary tradecraft.
We do not show you a logo wall. We show you the operator, a sector reference on request, and written attestation that your artifacts are destroyed in 30 days.

DOCTRINE · OIUOperator-Led
Every engagement is led by senior operators with real-world offensive experience. We move like attackers move.
Business Impact First
We do not just find vulnerabilities. We rank them the way an attacker would and tell you which one ends up in the boardroom first.
Long-Term Relationships
We keep the same operators on your account, so each engagement builds on the last instead of starting from a blank scope.
No Commodity Output
No scan-and-PDF. Every finding is manually validated and written up for the team that has to fix it, not for the audit binder.
Across the Operator Bench
Talk to an Operator
Brief an Operator
Most engagements kick off within two to three weeks of signed scope. The senior operator you brief is the one who runs the test.
