Fusing the elite reverse-engineering power of Cipher Security Labs with the strategic global project management of Presale1. We establish an always-on, external vulnerability research lab to audit your software updates and live environments—preventing supply-chain crises with zero risk to your production uptime.
The Core Problem: The Failure of Point-in-Time Security
Why Standard Penetration Tests and Bug Bounties Leave You Exposed
Traditional penetration testing provides a single, point-in-time snapshot of your security posture. Bug bounties are continuous but highly unpredictable, flooding internal development teams with low-value, duplicate reports that trigger alert fatigue.
Meanwhile, your engineering team is shipping code in rapid sprints. When security patches are rushed to meet deployment deadlines, developers frequently bypass critical trust boundaries. In our recent coordinated disclosure audits of widely deployed Staffing and Workforce Management ERP integrations, our research team verified that legimate patches intended to fix simple SQL Injections actually introduced direct patch bypasses and exposed critical, unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities.
A pattern of recurring patch regressions indicates a systemic gap in the secure development lifecycle (SDLC). We do not just find bugs—we validate your remediation efforts in isolated environments to ensure your defenses are mathematically and logically hardened before release.
Our Unified AppSec Offerings (SOW-Based Retainers)
- Seamless, Embedded Security Engineering
- Presale1 manages the entire engagement lifecycle, acting as your strategic partner to translate raw vulnerability data into clear, board-ready risk-reduction matrices. Simultaneously, Cipher Security Labs operates as your deep-tech research engine.
- Service Pillars:
- Pre-Release Code-Review Retainer (Continuous SDLC Hardening): Nir Yehoshua and our elite research team perform ongoing static and dynamic analysis of your drivers, software updates, and third-party integrations before they reach production.
- In-Production Security Testing: Continuous, non-destructive vulnerability research of your active, live backend systems (CRM, SALES, ERP, and API gateways) to verify access controls and trust boundaries with zero production risk.
- Pre-Go-Live Validation: Targeted, manual auditing of new web portals, applications, and user interfaces (UI) before they are exposed to the public internet.
- Targeted Application Penetration Testing (PTaaS): Deep-dive, expert-led penetration testing scheduled dynamically into your annual release roadmap to satisfy strict compliance frameworks like GDPR, DORA, and NIS2.
