About Us
Elevate Your Skills. Challenge Your Limits.
Who We Are
Practical Physical Exploitation (PPE) is a specialized training brand owned and operated by Mayweather Group, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-owned small business with roots in Army and Joint Special Operations. Following our military service, we transitioned our mission-focused mindset into the cybersecurity industry, delivering offensive security services and advanced training across government, commercial enterprises, and specialized industries.
At PPE, we believe that the best way to understand and counteract a threat is to get hands-on with it. We are a team of experienced red teamers and information security professionals who have come together to create an intensive training environment where participants can experience real-world challenges in a controlled setting. Our expertise spans penetration testing, red team operations, and advanced adversarial emulation for Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and private-sector clients.
Our Mission
To offer immersive, real-world training that prepares red teams and information security enthusiasts with the essential skills to effectively evaluate and fortify physical environments.
