Very Good Work Shown By This Company To Solve Cyber Problems We contracted Cyber Legion to do some security testing for our new web applications and APIs and we were very pleased with the results and the vulnerabilities they found, some serious flaws! I received access to the portal where I worked with the team. All details were clearly reported and we have received full support until all vulnerabilities were fixed.
