Cylent Security LLC

We solve the "pentester lottery" problem. If you've ever negotiated a penetration test, you most likely were presented with bios of the company's top pentesters. Then your project gets scheduled and you're assigned someone completely different. 

At Cylent you get top talent on every project. Cylent's founder has more than 21 years of combined experience in IT and cybersecurity, with 8 of those years working in penetration testing in a consulting role. He has planned, scoped, led, and performed penetration testing engagements on various major enterprises, such as: Fortune 500, government institutions, banking, finance, healthcare and insurance, ecommerce, legal, and energy sector clients. These engagements provided deep insights to the organization on their weak points, how they can be connected to a full attack vector, how they can be monitored, detected, quarantined, and remediated.

Cylent has developed penetration testing tools, training content, and methodologies for multiple Fortune 500 companies. This enabled countless penetration testers to efficiently perform penetration testing to the highest standards. 

Our founder has published eight CVEs for web application zero-day vulnerabilities, including four discovered during customer penetration tests.

We can save you money without sacrificing quality. Having developed penetration tester application security testing methodology for multiple pentest teams, Cylent can leverage our vast experience to threat model your application to quickly target functions or features most likely to have vulnerabilities. This results in requiring less hours scoped to complete thorough testing. It also helps if you provide the source code for your application. We charge LESS if you provide the code because it helps us to quickly locate issues that would take longer to find through manual testing. Our average penetration test costs just $7500. Our founder has performed these same tests in the $12,000 ballpark while working for some well-known pentest companies.

Application penetration testing

We perform web, mobile, and API penetration testing. All testing is performed to OWASP standards, including the Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS) and Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS). You receive much more than a vulnerability scan. All testing is performed using primarily manual methodology followed by a vulnerability scan to ensure thorough coverage. Your penetration test will be performed by a consultant with four published CVEs for zero day vulnerabilities discovered during customer penetration tests. Ask us for a sample report!

Cloud penetration testing

We are AWS Red Team Expert certified. We start every AWS assessment with unauthenticated testing to look for critical exposures before moving to authenticated auditing to ensure your accounts are following best practices. Do you have a particular concern about a role? We can perform an "assumed breach" audit on a role or account to expose paths of lateral movement and privilege escalation.

Network penetration testing

Our external, internal, and WiFi penetration testing frequently uncover issues overlooked by other penetration testing companies. Our years of experience enhance our manual testing methodology. We take pride in "going the extra mile" and providing value.

Continuous penetration testing

A single penetration test provides a snapshot of your security level at that point in time. But what happens when new vulnerabilities and CVEs are published after your pentest? Why wait a full year or until you suffer a breach to find out? Our continuous penetration testing service starts with a full penetration test, followed by monthly checkups to ensure that you aren't vulnerable to recently published vulnerabilities. Our service includes immediate retesting for any newly published vulnerabilities rated as "Critical" risk. You get a phone call when critical risk issues are detected.

Vulnerability assessment

Let us handle your vulnerability scanning and reporting. This service can be as simple as providing you with the scan report, or you may select the option of reporting only manually verified findings.

Staff augmentation

Highly experienced penetration testers are likely to break your staffing budget. Let Cylent augment your staff to help with bursts in business, staff training, or lack of qualified personnel.
