About this site

At Cylent Security, we believe that modern security challenges demand more than checklists and compliance exercises. Applications are the true backbone of business — complex, interconnected, and often where the most critical vulnerabilities hide.

This blog is where we share our expertise, discoveries, and perspectives from the field. It’s built for CISOs, engineering leaders, and developers who want to understand not just what went wrong, but why it matters and how to fix it.
