Built on Real Experience

Seven years ago, we started CurrentXByteOn after seeing too many businesses discover security gaps the hard way. Today, we help companies find and fix vulnerabilities before they become problems.

How We Got Here

Back in 2018, I was consulting for a mid-sized logistics company in Bangkok. They'd just launched a new customer portal and felt confident about their security. Three weeks later, they discovered unauthorized access to client shipping data.

That incident wasn't malicious - just a curious employee who found an unprotected admin panel. But it made everyone realize how many assumptions we make about security. The company fixed that specific issue quickly, but it left us wondering: what else might be hiding?

"We started CurrentXByteOn because every business deserves to know where they stand, security-wise, before problems find them."

So we began systematically testing their systems. Not just the obvious stuff, but the forgotten admin panels, the legacy integrations, the development servers that somehow made it to production. We found issues, sure, but more importantly, we found patterns that helped prevent future problems.

What We Actually Do

Security testing isn't just running automated scans. It's understanding how your specific systems work and where real-world attacks might succeed.

Penetration Testing

We approach your systems like actual attackers would. That means testing not just for known vulnerabilities, but for the creative ways someone might chain together small issues into bigger problems. Last month, we helped a retail client discover how a minor API quirk could expose customer purchase histories.

Vulnerability Assessment

Regular vulnerability scans catch the obvious stuff, but context matters. We look at your business processes to understand which vulnerabilities actually threaten your operations. A critical-rated finding in a development environment might matter less than a medium-rated issue in your payment processing flow.

We've learned that the best security testing happens when you understand both the technical systems and the business they support. Cookie-cutter assessments miss the real risks.

Who's Behind the Work

Our team combines deep technical knowledge with practical business experience. We've all worked on both sides - building systems and breaking them - which helps us understand what actually matters for security.

Everyone here has spent time in different environments. Banking systems, e-commerce platforms, manufacturing networks, government portals. That variety helps us spot patterns and avoid the tunnel vision that comes from only seeing one type of system.

We stay current with new attack techniques and defensive strategies, but we also remember that security exists to protect real business operations, not just to check compliance boxes.

Annika Bergström

Lead Security Analyst

Annika brings twelve years of experience from both offensive and defensive security roles. She started in network administration before moving into penetration testing, which gives her insight into how systems actually get built and maintained. She's particularly good at finding the subtle configuration issues that automated tools miss.

Isla MacLeod

Penetration Testing Specialist

Isla specializes in web application security and has a background in software development. Her coding experience helps her understand application logic in ways that pure security testing sometimes misses. She's worked with everything from legacy PHP systems to modern cloud-native applications across Southeast Asia.
