Hoken Cybersecurity

Software security from Mérida, Mexico

Based in Mérida, Mexico, a group of security engineers works under the name Hoken Cybersecurity, also known as Hoken Software & Security. Companies that want information security standards in place work with the group, and its development teams build software on the principle that security comes first, because the internet and digital technology now shape how business is done.

Security analysis of web and mobile apps

Before a website or application goes live, the group tests it for weaknesses. Its analysis uses static and dynamic testing, known as SAST and DAST, following OWASP methodologies, so that a client can be confident the website or app is ready for a cyberattack.

Malware analysis

The group determines the origin and the potential impact of a sample of malware. Its scope is broad: anything that looks malicious or resembles a virus can be examined.

Security and Scrum training for staff

Training prepares a company's staff to handle the attacks their systems face every day. The group also teaches and certifies the Scrum framework for whole development teams, so that developers work more efficiently on the projects they deliver.

Mobile and e-commerce development

Mobile development covers iOS and Android applications, with information and user security considered at every stage. The team also builds e-commerce sites designed to carry heavy internet traffic while meeting international standards.

Offices in three cities

The company is global in reach. Its base is in Mérida, and it has a presence in Mexico City and Toronto, so clients in those markets can work with the same engineering team.
