Introduction
Nigeria’s digital economy is rapidly growing across sectors including banking, fintech, healthcare, government, e-commerce, and telecommunications. Organizations increasingly rely on web applications, cloud platforms, and IT infrastructure, which exposes them to advanced cyber threats such as ransomware, phishing, SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and API vulnerabilities.
Cyberintelsys, a CREST-accredited cybersecurity services provider, offers comprehensive Security Testing and Penetration Testing Services in Nigeria. Our services help businesses proactively detect, validate, and remediate vulnerabilities to maintain secure and resilient digital operations.
Industry Challenges in Nigeria
Rapid Digital Adoption: Increased reliance on cloud services, mobile apps, and hybrid IT infrastructures expands the attack surface.
Advanced Threats: Persistent threats, ransomware campaigns, and automated bot attacks target enterprises.
Regulatory Compliance: Organizations need to comply with ISO 27001, PDPA, GDPR, and PCI DSS.
Limited Security Expertise: Many organizations lack experienced cybersecurity teams to detect and mitigate vulnerabilities effectively.
Operational Risk: Unidentified vulnerabilities can lead to data breaches, financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties.
Comprehensive Security Testing Services in Nigeria
Network Penetration Testing
