As the digital landscape continues to evolve, businesses in Australia and New Zealand are facing a surge in cyber threats. From targeted ransomware attacks to sophisticated supply chain breaches, the region is no longer insulated from global cyber risks. For organizations across every sector, robust cybersecurity testing is not just a technical requirement-it's a business necessity.

Australia and New Zealand have witnessed a dramatic rise in cyber incidents over the past few years. According to the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), cybercrime reports have reached record highs, with an incident reported every six minutes in Australia alone. New Zealand's CERT NZ has also flagged an increase in phishing, malware, and business email compromise attacks.

Both countries are increasingly aligning with global frameworks such as ISO 27001 and PCI DSS. For businesses in major cities, regular penetration testing is essential for compliance and customer trust.

A single breach can devastate a company's reputation. Proactive cybersecurity testing demonstrates a commitment to security, reassuring clients and partners that their data is safe.

With tightening privacy laws and industry regulations, regular security assessments are no longer optional. Failing to comply can result in heavy fines and legal action-costs that far outweigh the investment in testing.

Automated tools alone are not enough. Capture The Bug's expert-led testing uncovers complex vulnerabilities-especially those unique to local business processes and regulatory environments. Our team stays ahead of emerging threats through ongoing research and hands-on experience. Learn more about manual vs automated penetration testing approaches.

Secure systems are a foundation for digital innovation. Regular penetration testing help businesses scale confidently while minimizing risk. Whether you're launching a new product or expanding into new markets, security testing ensures your growth won't be derailed by preventable incidents.

Capture The Bug is dedicated to helping Australian and New Zealand businesses stay ahead of cyber threats. Here's how we support your security journey:

Our process begins with a thorough vulnerability assessment-scanning your systems for known weaknesses. This step is essential for identifying low-hanging fruit that attackers often exploit.

Automated scans are only the starting point. Our security experts perform manual penetration testing to simulate real-world attacks, uncovering business logic flaws and complex vulnerabilities that tools alone can't detect. This approach is especially valuable for organizations in regulated industries or those with custom-built applications.

With more businesses moving to the cloud, cloud security testing and API security testing are now critical. Capture The Bug specializes in evaluating cloud configurations, permissions, and exposed APIs to ensure your data stays protected-whether it's in Sydney, Auckland, or anywhere your business operates.

Finding vulnerabilities is only half the battle. We work with your team to prioritize fixes and offer guidance on remediation. Once issues are addressed, we retest to confirm that vulnerabilities have been fully resolved, ensuring your environment remains secure. Learn more about effective vulnerability remediation and retesting.

Cybersecurity testing helps organizations identify and fix vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them, meet compliance requirements, and build trust with customers and partners. With the increasing frequency of cyber incidents in the ANZ region, proactive testing is essential for business continuity.

Yes. Our reports are mapped to local and international frameworks and include the evidence you need for compliance and audit readiness. We understand the specific requirements of ACSC Essential Eight, CERT NZ guidelines, and international standards like ISO 27001.

We recommend quarterly assessments for critical systems and annual comprehensive penetration testing. Organizations in highly regulated sectors may require more frequent testing to meet compliance requirements. Consider Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) for continuous security validation.
