Building on the success of this partnership, Cyrex security experts were entrusted with conducting Penetration Testing on Avalanche Studios Group’s Live Services. Powered by their proprietary ‘Apex engine,’ which is utilized across multiple games in their extensive portfolio, these Live Services serve as the backbone of Avalanche’s online experiences. Through rigorous testing, Cyrex’s aim was to identify and address any potential security vulnerabilities, safeguarding the company’s reputation and revenue.

These included Registration & Authentication systems, News management, Profanity filters, User & account management, Friend & Clan systems, Inventory management, Matchmaking, and Twitch integration. By subjecting these essential components to simulated cyberattacks, Cyrex comprehensive penetration tests provided Avalanche Studios Group with a thorough assessment of their security posture.
