C7 Cybersecurity — a group of cybersecurity companies headquartered in Central Asia, Uzbekistan, was established in August 2021 by a team of professional penetration testers and cybersecurity specialists with extensive backgrounds in secure software development.

Our approach is fundamentally different due to our extreme expertise in secure development practices. This distinction is anchored by our CEO, who has been an independent researcher in the field of type theory—a specialized branch of theoretical computer science with direct applications to language-based security systems.

What sets us apart from conventional penetration testing companies is our deep integration of academic research with practical cybersecurity implementation. Our team combines years of hands-on experience in vulnerability assessment and penetration testing with rigorous scientific methodologies derived from computer science theory.

This unique combination of theoretical foundation and practical expertise enables us to approach cybersecurity challenges from both offensive and defensive perspectives, developing solutions that are not only immediately effective but also scientifically grounded and future-oriented.

Our commitment to advancing the field through research while delivering exceptional security services has established C7 Cybersecurity as a pioneering force in the intersection of academic cybersecurity research and professional security consulting.

Since establishment, we have conducted comprehensive security assessments for the largest financial institutions in Uzbekistan and top-tier projects worldwide, including cryptocurrency exchanges such as BoxExchanger. Our portfolio encompasses more than 150 security assessments across diverse sectors and technological infrastructures.

Beyond assessment services, we have architected and developed over 15 products utilizing rigorous secure development principles. Our Research and Development department actively addresses cutting-edge challenges in AI security, language-based security systems, and advanced threat modeling methodologies.

Our technical capabilities extend to proprietary tool development, where we engineer specialized penetration testing frameworks and security analysis instruments. This internal toolchain enhances our assessment precision and enables us to identify vulnerabilities that conventional testing approaches often overlook.

The scientific foundation of our work is exemplified by our CEO's independent research contributions, including published work in type theory and language-based security, which directly informs our methodological approach to cybersecurity challenges.

This convergence of secure development expertise, scientific security research, and hands-on penetration testing experience produces extraordinary results in security delivery. Our multidisciplinary approach enables us to address complex security challenges with both theoretical rigor and practical effectiveness, setting new standards in cybersecurity consulting.

As one of the leading cybersecurity companies in the region, C7 Cybersecurity maintains extensive supporting initiatives that extend beyond traditional consulting services. Central to our educational mission is C7 Academy, our specialized cybersecurity training center where professional penetration testers—not external hired mentors—directly transfer their expertise and methodologies to students.

Our educational approach ensures that students receive authentic, field-tested knowledge from practitioners who actively conduct security assessments. This direct knowledge transfer from active professionals to emerging specialists creates an unparalleled learning environment that bridges theoretical concepts with real-world application.

Beyond individual education, we collaborate with financial institutions and IT companies to establish and strengthen their Information Security departments. Our consultants provide strategic guidance in building comprehensive security programs, implementing best practices, and developing internal security capabilities that align with industry standards.

Our commitment to accessible education manifests through comprehensive free education initiatives, including regular webinars, hands-on workshops, and practical training events. These programs democratize cybersecurity knowledge and contribute to regional security awareness development across various sectors.

Additionally, C7 Cybersecurity operates a specialized Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) department that leverages advanced information gathering techniques for threat intelligence and investigative purposes. Our OSINT capabilities encompass digital footprint analysis, threat actor profiling, and comprehensive reconnaissance methodologies that support both proactive security measures and incident response operations.
