Cylentrix VAPT services combine vulnerability assessment and penetration testing to identify exploitable weaknesses and validate your security controls, while authorised Red Teaming simulates realistic attack scenarios before real attackers can exploit them. Every engagement is scoped, controlled and conducted with client approval, ending in risk-based findings your teams can act on, remediate and retest.
Two disciplines, one goal: proving what an attacker could actually do to your organisation, safely and with authorization, so you can fix it first.
VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) identifies security vulnerabilities across your applications, networks and infrastructure, then validates whether those weaknesses can genuinely be exploited, so remediation effort goes where the real risk is. Red Teaming goes further: an authorised red team simulates realistic attack scenarios against agreed objectives to assess how effectively your organisation can prevent, detect and respond to an attack, exercising people, processes and technology together.
Breadth-first: find, validate and prioritise exploitable weaknesses across defined systems.
Depth-first: simulate realistic attack paths toward objectives to test prevention, detection and response.
One engagement partner across every layer an attacker can reach, working to a disciplined path that ends only when remediation is verified.
Identify vulnerabilities in web applications and supporting components through structured assessment and penetration testing.
Assess APIs for authentication, authorization, data exposure and other security weaknesses across endpoints and integrations.
Assess internal and external network infrastructure for exploitable weaknesses, misconfigurations and unsafe exposure.
Evaluate cloud configurations, exposure and security controls across your approved cloud environments and workloads.
Assess mobile applications and their supporting APIs for security weaknesses in data handling, sessions and access.
Evaluate servers, network devices and infrastructure components for vulnerabilities and hardening gaps.
Identify publicly exposed assets, services and potential attack paths visible to attackers on the internet.
Identify security gaps in configurations and defensive controls so hardening keeps pace with the threat landscape.
Define objectives, assets, rules of engagement and testing boundaries with your stakeholders.
Map the approved attack surface and identify the assets relevant to the engagement.
Identify vulnerabilities, weaknesses and configuration issues across the agreed scope.
Safely validate exploitable weaknesses, including authorised Red Team attack-path simulation.
Assess the potential impact of confirmed weaknesses and the effectiveness of security controls.
Deliver clear findings with evidence, risk ratings and practical recommendations.
Support your teams in addressing identified weaknesses with actionable guidance.
Validate whether remediation has effectively resolved each identified issue.
Every engagement ends in outcomes the business can measure: clear risk visibility for leadership, prioritised fixes for engineering and verified closure. AI-assisted security analysis can help teams prioritize findings and identify patterns across large security datasets.
An executive summary of security posture, key risks and priorities in business language, ready for the board.
Findings rated by risk and exploitability, so engineering time goes to the issues that actually matter.
Clear, reproducible evidence for each confirmed weakness, so no finding is disputed or double-checked twice.
Practical, prioritised fixes your engineering and operations teams can implement without further consulting.
Fixed findings are retested and their closure verified, giving auditors and stakeholders proof, not promises.
Wherever sensitive data, payments or critical operations live, exploitable weaknesses carry a price tag. Cylentrix delivers VAPT and Red Teaming for the industries attackers target first.
Plant apps, OT-adjacent networks and remote access are tested before flaws hit production.
Patient portals, EHR and connected clinical systems are tested for flaws that risk patient data.
Internet banking, payment APIs and trading platforms are tested to regulatory-grade rigour.
SaaS, cloud and CI/CD infrastructure are tested so one flaw never becomes a customer incident.
Student portals, LMS and campus networks are tested for flaws exposing records and research.
Storefronts, payment flows and store networks are tested for the flaws card-data attackers seek.
Tracking platforms, partner APIs and hub networks are tested to keep supply chains resilient.
Citizen portals and inter-department systems are tested under strict authorization and scope.
Hosting environments, management planes and tenant boundaries are checked for exposure paths.
Booking engines, guest Wi-Fi and property systems are tested for payment and guest-data flaws.
Security testing is only useful if it reflects how your enterprise actually runs. Cylentrix tests with the perspective of a partner that designs, secures and operates enterprise technology every day.
One practice spanning security, managed IT and enterprise networks, so testing reflects how your systems really connect and operate.
Web, API, network, cloud, mobile and infrastructure assessed by one team, so weaknesses that cross layers don't fall between vendors.
Engagements start from what an attacker can actually see and reach, not from an inventory list, so effort lands on real exposure.
Findings are rated by genuine business risk and exploitability, so a long report never buries the handful of issues that matter.
Every finding ships with practical, prioritised remediation steps that your engineering and operations teams can implement.
Testing measures whether your preventive and detective controls actually work under simulated attack, not just whether they exist.
Remediated findings are retested and formally verified as closed, so the engagement ends with evidence rather than assumptions.
Defined scope, written authorization, controlled execution and stakeholder coordination from kickoff through retest.
Engagement teams that work across time zones and regions, aligned with the way multinational enterprises operate.
Cylentrix works alongside established technology and security platforms so testing insight translates into hardened, well-configured defenses.
Practical guides from the Cylentrix security practice, written for the leaders who will own the findings, the fixes and the risk.

The questions security and IT leaders ask before commissioning a security testing engagement, answered the way our security engineers answer them.
VAPT stands for Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing. A vulnerability assessment identifies security weaknesses across applications, networks and infrastructure, while penetration testing safely validates whether those weaknesses can actually be exploited. Together they show an organisation what is exposed, what is exploitable and what to fix first.
A vulnerability assessment is broad: it discovers and lists potential weaknesses across the environment. Penetration testing is deep: skilled testers safely attempt to exploit selected weaknesses within an agreed scope to confirm real-world impact. Assessment answers what could be wrong; penetration testing answers what an attacker could actually do.
Red Teaming is an authorised, goal-driven simulation of a realistic attacker. Instead of listing vulnerabilities, a Red Team engagement tests whether an organisation can prevent, detect, investigate and respond to an attack against agreed objectives, exercising people, processes and technology together under strict rules of engagement.
VAPT focuses on finding and validating as many exploitable weaknesses as possible in defined systems. Red Teaming focuses on simulating realistic attack paths toward specific objectives to test detection and response. VAPT measures how exposed you are; Red Teaming measures how well your defenses hold up when tested.
A VAPT engagement can cover web applications, APIs, internal and external networks, cloud environments, mobile applications, servers and infrastructure components, and the externally exposed attack surface. Scope is agreed with the client before testing begins, and only approved assets are assessed.
Within an agreed scope, the Red Team simulates realistic attack scenarios across phases such as reconnaissance, initial access, privilege escalation and lateral movement toward defined objectives. The engagement evaluates whether preventive controls block the activity, whether monitoring detects it, and how effectively security teams investigate and respond.
Yes. All Cylentrix security testing is conducted only with explicit written client authorization, within a defined scope and agreed rules of engagement. Testing is controlled to avoid disruption, sensitive findings are handled confidentially, and activity is coordinated with client stakeholders throughout the engagement.
Cylentrix scopes, executes and reports authorised VAPT and Red Team engagements across web, API, network, cloud, mobile and infrastructure, then supports remediation and retests fixes to verify closure. Engagements draw on Cylentrix's combined cybersecurity, IT and telecom practice across India, USA and Singapore.
