How CyPro can help

Need a hand with any of this?

Patching is one job. Keeping a vulnerable system safe until it is patched, and proving it, is several more. CyPro's consultants, testers and SOC analysts can take any of them off your plate.

Scanner checking internet-facing systems for weaknesses

Vulnerability scanning

Find every internet-facing system you run, including the forgotten ones, and see which are still on a vulnerable build.

Cyber security consultants planning hardening work

Hardening and segmentation

Our consultants put the controls in place that limit the damage when something is missed: firewall rules, network isolation and tighter admin access.

Security analysts monitoring systems around the clock

24/7 security monitoring

Penetration testing

A focused test of your systems and the controls around them, so you know they hold before an attacker finds out for you.

Know your exposure

Not sure you are protected?

AI makes it quicker to find and use weak points, so it helps to find them first. A penetration test shows which of your internet-facing systems, staff processes and AI tools an attacker could actually use.
