Security assurance and penetration testing

Security assurance is about proving that your controls work under real attack conditions. CyberOps Pty Ltd delivers vulnerability assessments and penetration testing across the environments that matter most to modern organisations, combining disciplined methodologies with practical remediation guidance to reduce risk without disrupting operations.

Network Perimeter

We assess external attack surfaces, exposed services, and edge protections including firewalls, VPNs, secure gateways, and segmentation controls to ensure your perimeter can withstand both opportunistic scans and targeted intrusion attempts.

Our methodology blends reconnaissance, service enumeration, and controlled exploitation to validate weaknesses safely, followed by verification of detection, containment, and recovery controls so you can prioritise fixes with confidence.

Web Applications & APIs

We test browser-based applications and APIs for authentication weaknesses, input handling flaws, business logic risks, and exposure of sensitive data, aligned to OWASP and real-world attack patterns.

Our methodology combines manual testing and targeted automation to validate exploitability, including session management, access controls, and API abuse scenarios, producing clear remediation guidance mapped to developer workflows.

Mobile Applications

We evaluate iOS and Android applications for insecure storage, weak transport protection, reverse engineering exposure, and backend API misuse that can lead to data leakage or account takeover.

Our methodology pairs static and dynamic analysis with device-level instrumentation to validate risks, confirm exploit paths, and ensure mobile-to-backend trust boundaries are properly enforced.

Identity & Access Management (IAM)

We test identity platforms including Entra ID, AD FS, Auth0, Okta, and Google to confirm MFA integrity, conditional access policies, privilege boundaries, and federation security across your workforce and customer identity stacks.

Our methodology reviews tenant configuration and token flows, then simulates escalation, bypass, and abuse scenarios to validate whether identity controls hold under real adversary techniques.

Cloud Security Posture (AWS, Azure, GCP)

We assess cloud environments for misconfigurations, overly permissive roles, exposed storage, and weak network segmentation that can enable lateral movement or data exfiltration.

Our methodology combines configuration review with attack-path validation to test least-privilege, guardrails, logging, and response readiness, giving you a clear roadmap to harden your cloud estate.
