About the Client
CloudLinux provides secure, optimized, and stable Linux-based operating systems and cybersecurity solutions for hosting providers and enterprises, enhancing server security, performance, and reliability. Their solutions are trusted by hosting companies and enterprise clients worldwide to safeguard critical infrastructure and ensure consistent uptime.
Results:
Sekurno’s testing revealed vulnerabilities other vendors missed — some validating CloudLinux’s internal knowledge, and others uncovering previously unknown issues. Importantly, the assessment confirmed that no critical issues were present and validated the effectiveness of many existing security controls, giving the team confidence that their baseline defenses were working as intended. The clear, actionable reporting enabled the security team to quickly engage engineers in remediation without lengthy explanations or back-and-forth.
The assessment:
Satisfied compliance and client security documentation requirements.
Reduced the internal team’s workload through clear documentation and streamlined reporting, making remediation faster and more efficient.
Strengthened overall infrastructure security with better visibility into exsisiting threats.
The Challenge
CloudLinux needed to:
Conduct regular security assessments to meet client and compliance requirements.
Strengthen their security posture through deep, accurate testing.
Validate and improve detection of vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure.
They wanted a vendor capable of going beyond surface-level testing, delivering clear and actionable findings that would improve their actual security — not just satisfy audit checkboxes.
Key Takeaways
Our Solution
CloudLinux engaged Sekurno through a competitive vendor procurement process. Two vendors were tested on identical scopes, and their results were compared directly. Sekurno’s depth of analysis and accuracy stood out — uncovering vulnerabilities that were already known internally but had never been found by other external testers.
Following this pilot success, CloudLinux signed an annual contract with Sekurno for ongoing penetration testing and regular vulnerability assessments.
Our approach included
Sekurno’s ability to deeply understand our infrastructure and uncover vulnerabilities that other vendors missed was particularly impressive. Their approach went beyond compliance-driven security checks, focusing on real security improvements. Additionally, their clear documentation and streamlined reporting process significantly reduced the internal team’s workload, making remediation more efficient.
