VAPT — Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing
Authorised vulnerability assessment and penetration testing that finds, validates and clearly reports security weaknesses in web applications, APIs and infrastructure.
Incident Response
Structured support for identifying, containing, investigating and recovering from cybersecurity incidents, and for learning from them.
Overview
About Incident Response
When a security incident happens, the first hours matter. Incident response is the structured process of working out what has happened, limiting the damage, preserving the evidence and getting systems back to a trusted state.
Cybethix supports organisations through that process in a calm, business-oriented way: helping teams understand what is affected, what to contain first and what to fix so the same issue is less likely to return.
