Application and API Security
APIs expose business logic directly, and flaws such as broken object level authorisation let attackers read other customers' data. Automated scanners rarely find these issues on their own.
Digital And Software
Ship fast without shipping risk.
Software, SaaS, streaming and digital media businesses build products customers trust with their own data. One exposed API or misconfigured bucket can undo years of hard won reputation.

The threat picture
Why attackers target technology, media & saas
Technology companies move quickly, deploy often and depend on cloud platforms, open source code and third party services. Each of those choices speeds up delivery, and each adds attack surface that needs to be understood.
We help technology and media businesses test applications and APIs, secure cloud environments and development pipelines, protect content and intellectual property, and answer customer security reviews with confidence.
Cloud Security
Misconfigured storage, over permissive identities and forgotten test environments are among the most common causes of cloud data exposure. They change every time you deploy.
Customer Security Reviews
Enterprise buyers send long security questionnaires and ask for certifications before they sign. Slow or weak answers can stall deals for months.
Secure Development
Compromised dependencies, leaked secrets in repositories and poisoned build pipelines let attackers reach every customer at once.
Content and IP Protection
Source code, unreleased content and streaming rights are valuable targets. Leaks and piracy hit revenue as well as trust.
Regulation and standards
The rules you work under
The obligations that shape security in technology, media & saas, and how we help you meet them with evidence rather than paperwork.
EU Cyber Resilience Act
Software and connected products sold in the EU must report actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents from 11 September 2026, with secure by design requirements applying from December 2027.
Official guidanceISO/IEC 27001
The international standard for an information security management system, and the certification enterprise customers most often ask SaaS providers to hold.
Official guidanceSOC 2
An independent attestation against the AICPA trust services criteria, widely requested by customers in North America and by global enterprises.
Official guidanceUK and EU GDPR
As a processor of customer data you must apply appropriate security, support your customers' obligations and notify them of breaches without undue delay.
Official guidanceIllustrative scenario
One API Call Too Many
How a typical attack on technology, media & saas unfolds, step by step. Press play to watch it run.
- 1Discovery
A researcher, or an attacker, notices that changing an account ID in an API request returns another customer's records.
- 2Automation
A simple script walks through account IDs and quietly collects data from thousands of tenants.
- 3Exposure
The data appears for sale, and enterprise customers start asking difficult questions.
- 4Where it breaks
Manual API penetration testing finds the authorisation flaw before release, and API protection flags the unusual pattern of requests in production.
Where Cybergen breaks the chain
Testing business logic by hand, monitoring APIs in production and building security into the pipeline stops a single flaw becoming a headline.
Illustrative example, not a real incident.

Should a SaaS company get ISO 27001 or SOC 2?
It depends on your customers. ISO 27001 is recognised worldwide, while SOC 2 is often requested in North America. Many providers start with one and map controls so the second is easier.
How often should we test our application?
At least once a year and after significant changes, with lighter checks built into your release process so issues are caught between full tests.
Does the Cyber Resilience Act apply to software?
Yes. Software with digital elements placed on the EU market is in scope, with some exclusions, so most commercial software vendors selling into the EU should assess it now.
Can you help us answer customer security questionnaires?
Yes. We help you build the evidence, from test reports to policies and certifications, that lets you answer quickly and accurately.
