The Red Sentry Story
Red Sentry was born from a deep frustration with the slow and outdated nature of traditional penetration testing. After years of seeing companies spend millions just to play defense—responding to threats long after the damage was done—our founders knew there had to be a better way.
Valentina Flores began her career in law enforcement, working as a police detective on a federal task force. Over time, her focus shifted toward cybercrime, where she saw firsthand how unprepared many organizations were for the threats they faced. She partnered with Alex Thomas, an innovative penetration tester who had been stress-testing and breaking into Fortune 500 companies for years. Together, they realized how broken the industry was and began working to fix it.
That collaboration fueled a vision: to bring a faster, more proactive, and more realistic approach to cybersecurity. Red Sentry was built to combine cutting-edge software with the expertise and creativity of real-world ethical hackers, helping companies stay ahead of threats before they become breaches.
Today, Red Sentry delivers pentests in days, not weeks or months, by blending automation with expert-driven testing. This modern approach empowers organizations to move faster and respond smarter. Because in today’s world, checking a box once a year just isn’t enough. True security and peace of mind should be accessible to all.
