Strengthening cybersecurity for a leading telecom service provider
Client background
Our client is a leading player in mobile telecommunications, catering to a customer base with millions of individuals and holding a significant market share in Azerbaijan's mobile market.
Business challenge
Our client was expanding their service offering by adding a new fintech component to their existing telecom solution. The company needed to ensure that it had robust security to protect sensitive financial customer data.

N-iX has performed an extensive cybersecurity assessment and provided a detailed security report. It helped the client identify and mitigate vulnerabilities before launching their fintech service. This, in turn, removed the risk of security breaches, service disruptions, and financial or reputational damages.
Business challenge: establishing high customer data security within the new fintech service
Business challenge
Implementation: conducting a comprehensive security assessment of the fintech serviceImplementation
N-iX began by ensuring seamless coordination with the customer's security team to prevent service disruptions during testing. Our cybersecurity experts defined the areas to be tested and outlined the most effective testing methodologies.
Certain technological specifics of the client's application made the testing process more challenging. In particular, the application consisted of a shared front-end component and two distinct back-end components, each with its separate infrastructure and technologies. Also, the application did not support the installation of proxies. Therefore, we had to build a new version of the iOS application to overcome this challenge and intercept traffic during testing.
By conducting a thorough assessment and analysis of access handling, input handling, device storage, logic, and more, we have helped the client identify vulnerabilities within their mobile solution. As a result, we have prepared and executed a PoC exploit for the identified vulnerabilities and provided a security report.
