Security

Cybersecurity has become a basic requirement

In addition to all software-technical measures, there are regulations such as NIS2 and DORA that require organizations—especially in sectors like finance and insurance—to structurally strengthen their cyber resilience. At Metanous, we anticipate this with targeted investments in knowledge, methodology, and tools. This allows us to build applications that are not only resilient to attacks but also enable us to respond quickly and efficiently when needed.

Security by design: secure software development from the first line of code

Security by design is therefore the standard in every software project we undertake. From the very first step, we analyze the risks together with the client to make well-informed decisions regarding architecture and security. Our developers have deep expertise in areas such as authentication, encryption, and applying security best practices. We combine the OWASP ASVS standard with our experience in Azure Cloud and reinforce this with powerful testing and monitoring tools. The result is software developed with maximum attention to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Technology and process: the key to future-proof cybersecurity

It is crucial that we address not only the technical side of cybersecurity—such as shielding, authentication, encryption, monitoring, patching, etc.—but also the procedural side. An effective security strategy requires clear agreements, processes, and follow-up. These two elements—technology and procedure—must go hand in hand to ensure a robust and future-proof approach. Especially within our niches, such as insurance and financial software, where compliance and traceability of actions are essential, the interaction between technology and process is indispensable.

Security services for ongoing protection of your applications

In addition to developing secure applications, we also offer a comprehensive range of security services to keep applications safe in the long term. For each client, we create a personalized service plan tailored to the specific needs and sensitivity of the data. This includes continuous monitoring of our platforms, detecting suspicious activities, daily scans of third-party components, proactive maintenance of frameworks and libraries, and both automated and manual penetration tests. Additionally, we have a robust backup methodology and regularly conduct disaster recovery exercises, ensuring that recovery from incidents is fast and controlled.

Cybersecurity through ethical hacking

Finally, we also focus on ethical hacking. By actively testing how applications can be attacked—using the same techniques as malicious hackers—we stay continuously up to date with the latest trends, attack vectors, and vulnerabilities. This knowledge is crucial for keeping an eye on potential threats, refining our methodologies, and optimally protecting clients against what occurs in daily practice.
