Cytix: A Complete Agile Security Testing Company

We saw the need for security testing to be more collaborative, more agile and, above all, faster. That’s why we created a vulnerability prevention platform with a team of dedicated security testers focused on the mission of integrating security testing into your workflows.

What’s more, whilst vulnerability detection remains critical, the quantity of issues that businesses have to manage is overwhelming. This means key information vital to protecting businesses is being lost in a sea of noise. Cytix addresses that particular problem by leveraging automation and integrations to embed security testing inside the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and feeding a single consolidated stream of information to the people who need to know about it.

How Do We Do It?

Cytix is the only business bridging the gap between automated scanning and manual testing when it comes to continuous security testing. That means Cytix is the only company able to provide a complete agile testing solution.

Cytix is capable of performing Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST), and Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) without the need for manual intervention by your business. We’re doing this by fully abstracting the responsibility of performing security testing from people within your organization, so your organizations can be confident that the level of coverage that meets their risk appetite is always being met without the need for lengthy and a very time-consuming procurement process.

Instead of competing with other market leaders, we embrace integrating with their solutions to ensure that the service we provide is leveraging the best capabilities available to our customers.

We validate the results from the testing, as well as output from bug bounties and vulnerability disclosures, to remove false positives and to enrich with context, and where the results do not meet the agreed minimum security threshold for the business, we feed this manageable stream of key information directly into the teams that need to know them.

This means integrating tools like Git, Tenable, and Jira, but also with defensive capabilities Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) and Endpoint Detection and Result (EDR) so that compensating controls can quickly be applied whilst longer-term remediation is carried out.

We offer unlimited year-round support from a team of dedicated testers specifically assigned to your business. This empowers us to build an understanding and a level of collaboration with your business that makes us a true extension of your teams.
