Cyber threats are evolving at a rapid pace. According to IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, AI-generated phishing now accounts for 37% of all breaches involving AI. Attackers are also targeting supply chains, cloud environments and human behaviour. With the average cost of a data breach in Australia now at A$4.26 million, organisations need a proactive way to find and fix weaknesses before criminals can take advantage of them.

In partnership with Crayon, ZIRILIO provides penetration testing that safely simulates real-world attacks to uncover vulnerabilities. These controlled tests go much deeper than automated scans, providing a clear view of where systems are exposed and how attackers might gain access. Each test concludes with tailored recommendations to strengthen defences and reduce risk.
ZIRILIO’s penetration testing covers every layer of an organisation’s environment:
Social engineering: Measuring staff awareness and resilience to phishing attacks.
Security isn’t just about what gets tested, but how often it gets tested. ZIRILIO recommends testing web applications throughout the development cycle, before launch, and then annually. Critical systems should be tested quarterly, while social engineering assessments are most effective when run each year. Any significant system changes or newly disclosed vulnerabilities should also trigger an immediate review. This regular testing ensures businesses meet compliance requirements under frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2 and CREST, while staying prepared for new and emerging threats.
By taking this proactive approach, organisations can:
Penetration testing is not a one-off project, but an ongoing commitment to security. With ZIRILIO and Crayon, organisations gain the expertise and assurance needed to maintain strong, adaptive defences as cyber threats continue to evolve.
Crayon’s go to market model ensures ZIRILIO can accelerate adoption of it’s testing services and managed security solutions.
