Case Study: Human API achieves continuous, risk-based security and faster remediation with CyCognito

Human API Increases Security Effectiveness with CyCognito Platform

Human API, a consumer-focused health data platform, needed to maintain continuous, high-assurance security while operating with limited security resources and an Agile/DevOps development model. Traditional point-in-time assessments were insufficient for their cloud-based, third-party-connected ecosystem, so Human API turned to CyCognito and the CyCognito platform to move from episodic testing to continuous, risk-based security.

CyCognito deployed its platform to map Human API’s external attack surface, identify previously unknown threats (including third-party risks), and prioritize the critical assets and attack vectors to focus remediation and pen-testing. As a result, Human API gained continuous security assessment, faster identification and remediation of critical risks, validation of controls, better-scoped penetration tests, and data to justify additional security resources—improving efficiency and the overall effectiveness of their security program.
