Pair hacking... because two minds are always better than one
At Cyrex, we’re passionate about staying ahead of the curve when it comes to cybersecurity testing. One of the key methodologies that sets us apart is pair hacking. Our team of security engineers work in pairs or groups, emulating the techniques used by black hat hacker collectives to ensure that we’re thoroughly testing the security of our clients’ systems.
What makes pair hacking so effective is the collaboration and communication it fosters among our team members. Each engineer brings their unique perspective and skill set to the table, allowing us to identify and verify vulnerabilities and injection points that might otherwise go unnoticed. With this method, we’re able to ensure that every aspect of the system is secure.
Our workflow
This is where we get to know your application or software. Our teams determine the scope of your project by examining the target system, its architecture, programming languages, and functionalities.
The real fun starts in this phase. Here, we do a deep dive with a full, manual penetration test of the target system based on our reconnaissance and previous findings. Fun fact: this process can account for up to 80% of the entire penetration testing cycle!
Once the full testing cycle has been completed, we deliver extensive, no-holes-barred reports on all system vulnerabilities, from small insertion points to major security issues. With this, we can provide creative best practice solutions that work with your workflows and processes. We also outline fully the potential risks of each issue and how a malicious agent could exploit them.

"There are two benefits of cooperating with Cyrex - the quality of their work and the quality of cooperation with the team. Space Punks’ audit was thorough and gave us confidence in the security and scalability of the game. The way the team operates is a showcase of great balance between structure and flexibility."
Flying Wild Hog
"It was a pleasure working with the security team. They are extremely knowledgeable, capable, and very flexible; partnering with us and adjusting processes and communication to suit our needs. We are very much looking forward to an ongoing relationship between our teams."
Mythical
"Cyrex have been consistently great security testing partners for us across a number of complex projects. Improbable often asks Cyrex to test brand new technology, posing a real challenge to testers to get up to speed with our cutting edge software, let alone find vulenrabilites within it. And yet we are consistently impressed by the quality of work we see. Cyrex keeps us one step ahead of our attackers."
Improbable
"We worked with Cyrex to secure our game and backend, and they were both very professional and very easy to work with! There was very little preparation needed from our side, and the report they presented was useful, in-depth, and easy to use as a blueprint to guide implementation of security hardening."
